Novice BFG Buyer

About to buy some BFG Muds but have read a lot about current and past models. I have been quoted for some 265/75R16 BFG Mud Terrains in Qld and am happy with the price, but can I assume that they are the current model? What does the KO lettering mean on the side and is there a range to choose from in the BFG Muds of this size, i.e. old and new model?
Sounds like a dumb question I know but want to make sure I am buying the right and most current tyre. Can I assume that by simply asking for 265/75R16 BFG Mud Terrain, I will be getting the latest.
Cheers

They changed the pattern some time ago and it would be very strange for the old ones to be available anywhere. The new patrern have side wall lugs where as the old ones have no tread followed out on the side wall

Also, the old model was the better one.

Not in my opinion. Ive had a few sets of both. The latest now seem to be OK.

no, KO actually
There is also talk of USA made ones better (I think) just to add to it.

The BFG's are a good tyre in both models, but technology moves on....
call ryano here and suss out a good price on the rubber cargo barrier and maybe even the bar work your chasing, drive in drive out. A couple of mates have done and are lookiong at doing similar to save those wasted wknds trying to fit all or make the shit.....
Mention me and you'll be charged and extra 5%....
just kidding ryano has looked after all the mud beers and mayhem boys very well..
get that disco looking tuff!!

KO's are the All Terrain
KM's are the Mud Terrain
The KM is the revision designation. KM being the current/new pattern.

Just my opinion but you'd do better with a Cooper STT for your money but we won't start the BFG vs Cooper debate again.

Was about to type the samething.
Ive had the KM's in the past, never a problem with them in 2 years of use.
Even with all the chipping it had it was still good.
