Shopping BFGoodrich in San Antonio? San Antonio Tire Shop stocks and orders across the BFGoodrich range for drivers in San Antonio, TX. The badge on the sidewall matters less than which line inside it suits how you actually drive, and what that line costs once it is on the car — so tell us the vehicle and the miles you put on it, and we will tell you which BFGoodrich is worth your money and which one is not.

What BFGoodrich costs installed in San Antonio
A BFGoodrich price that is only the tire is not a price. Our quote is the out-the-door total: the tires, mounting, balancing, new valve stems or TPMS service kits, disposal of the old set, and tax. And before anything is mounted we read you the DOT code off the sidewall — the last four digits are the week and year that tire was built, because new is not a date.
BFGoodrich is an American, off-road-heritage brand that trades on-road manners for grip in dirt and rock — the name truck and Jeep owners ask for directly. The lineup ranges from Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 for serious off-road use to Advantage Control and g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus, two standard lines for drivers who just want a car tire with the BFGoodrich name.
The tradeoff BFGoodrich is built around shows up the moment an aggressive tread pattern meets wet pavement: a block pattern designed to bite into dirt and rock doesn't grip a rain-slicked road the way a street-pattern tire does, and that's the cost of the capability, not a defect to fix. Drivers asking for this name by name are usually accepting that tradeoff on purpose.
Two flagship all-terrains currently sit side by side in the lineup. All-Terrain T/A KO3 is the newer design, built as the direct successor to All-Terrain T/A KO2 — which hasn't been discontinued and is still sold in many sizes. For most trucks and SUVs, KO3 is worth asking about first; KO2 is worth asking about specifically if your size isn't yet covered by the newer tire.
Who is this brand actually for, and who should skip it?
Truck, Jeep and SUV owners who want real capability in dirt and rock are the core audience, and the heritage is real rather than marketing — this is the all-terrain and mud-terrain brand asked for by name.
If your driving stays entirely on pavement and the priority is the quietest ride with the strongest wet grip, an aggressive tread pattern is working against you rather than for you. Advantage Control and g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus carry the name without that tradeoff, but if neither of those two fits what you actually want, a tire built purely around on-road use is worth cross-shopping.
How do the six lines split between dirt, road and everything between?
Match the line to where the tire actually spends its time, not to the badge on the fender.
- Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 — serious off-road use; built for mud, not commute comfort
- All-Terrain T/A KO3 — the current flagship all-terrain for trucks and SUVs
- All-Terrain T/A KO2 — the long-running all-terrain KO3 is replacing, still sold in many sizes
- Trail-Terrain T/A — on-road-first, for a crossover, SUV or light truck that wants the look without the off-road compromise
- Advantage Control — touring all-season, for a car or crossover that never leaves pavement
- g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus — performance all-season, for a sport car
What's worth checking before any BFGoodrich goes on, warranty included?
The door placard is the only size reference worth trusting here — not the tread currently on the vehicle — and it lists load index and speed rating alongside the size itself. Pair that with the DOT code on the sidewall: four digits for week and year, worth checking before the tire is mounted rather than after.
A prorated tread warranty pays out against the tread remaining, not a blank check: misaligned-wheel wear, underinflation, and curb or impact damage are standard exclusions. That last one deserves a second look on an off-road tire specifically — the rock and curb strikes an all-terrain or mud-terrain tire gets bought for are exactly the kind of impact damage most tread warranties carve out. Terms differ line to line, so ask which exclusions apply to the one you're quoted.
Will an all-terrain tire make my truck noisier or less grippy in the rain?
Generally yes to both — the aggressive tread pattern that bites into dirt and rock also means more road noise and less predictable wet-pavement grip than a street-pattern tire. Trail-Terrain T/A trades some off-road capability back for more on-road manners if that balance matters more to you.
What's the real difference between KO3 and KO2 if I just want an All-Terrain T/A?
KO3 is the current flagship, built as KO2's direct successor; KO2 is the older design and still sold in many sizes. Ask which one is actually available in your size before deciding — that alone settles it for a lot of buyers.
Does BFGoodrich only make truck tires, or does it make anything for a regular car?
Both — Advantage Control is a touring all-season for a car or crossover that never leaves pavement, and g-Force COMP-2 A/S Plus is a performance all-season for a sport car. The off-road heritage is real, but it isn't the whole lineup.
