I just recently got new tires on my Explorer. I took the peice of dirt Firestone ATX tires i had and replaced them with 30x9.50 BFG Ko's. I recently had the chance to test them in some pretty good mud. I am really impressed with them. I started to spin in 2wd
I put it in 4wd and came out of it like a bullet out of gun. I have seen people with Sport Kings and Wrangles ATS, Wrangler MT's and Mud Kings get stuck in there. I was greatly impressed when I had 1 wrangler w/33x12.50 mudkings get stuck after i had gone through it. Well just my 2 cents. I would defently recommend them.

Hey Mudder,

You sporting those KO's on a stock rig? What is the price range on a set of those hogs?

The 31x10.5xR15 KOs are the same price as the crap-o Firestone 235's.

Bout $99 each, unless you can find em cheaper. I think BFG does manufacturer price control.

If someone is charging you more, they are ripping you off.

sbrawner2,
You are right. The KO's are under BFG price control. They set the price and dealers have to sell it at that. It is like what Oakley sunglasses do with some of their frames. That is why, no matter where you go, they are all the same price.

Take care and happy exploring!
