Impressive performance in snow and ice conditions

I purchased a used full-size SUV with these already installed and in fairly new condition. They got me through a brutal 2018/2019 Winter season (227.1" total as of May 1,2019). I recently have been on the "All-Weather is better than All-Season" bandwagon (Nokian WR-G3, Rotiiva AT) but these BFG Rugged Trail's worked just as good. I can't speak for the other BFG products but I will buy these Rugged Trail's again.

Two Sets Down, Probably Go w/ Third Set

I am closing out my second set of these tires on a 2007 Toyota Tundra. Am seriously considering a third set because I have had good luck thus far. Have averaged 55K/set so far. I could run this second set a little further, but I think it makes sense to not push things from a safety perspective, particularly where wet road traction is concerned. I am a little concerned with some of the comments on this site regarding sidewall cracking, but I am pretty sure that I will once again choose this tire for my third set. I will definitely post an updated review if things don't work out well!

rugged trail vs all terrain t/a ko2

Dear bfg we are original owners of a 2007 Ford f 150 4x4 supercrew with 105,000 the original factory installed rugged trails were replaced in 2012 at 53,000 miles we now are ready to replace the second with the before mentioned 105,000 miles they are wearing very evenly but are starting to get some cracks between tread we live in Chicago so we have all four seasons here we don't do any off road driving so I'm thinking. Of just staying with the rugged trails for a third time they ride and handle awesome in snow they grip great but I also use the four wheel drive if needed I was contemplating the a/t ko2 we mostly drive highway but I'm wondering your thoughts the rugged trail s really gave me good mileage and we 've rotated as instructed All and any advice would be greatly appreciated THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT PRODUCT!

Great tire low treadlife

This tire came on my 2012 F-350 4x4 dually. I've towed my 20K lb camper more than 13K miles and driven unloaded more than 20k miles. The tires handle excellent on wet, dry, snow and dirt. I have not been on ice or mud. They dig in sand. I am very pleased with the tires, but I am currently searching for a new set as they are completely worn out. Tires are worn pretty evenly and have had normal rotations.

great tire

Just put LT285 75 16 Rugged terrains on my 1999 Jeep Wrangler,good looking tire that is Quiet and works well in rain,daily driver in southern FL. will be adding P285 70 17 's to my 2013 wrangler when the originals wear out. This has been a great tire and is lighter than most others. Glad BF Goodrich offers a tire like this rather than the standard heavy truck LT tire.

Worked great, but wore out really fast.

My 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road came with Rugged Trail T/A 265/70R16 tires. They worked really well for the first two years or so, but then started to wear down really fast. I'm at 36,000 miles and they are completely smoked. They're pretty close to the wear bar already. To be fair, I put 'em through their paces with a mixture of long highway trips and off-road fun (mostly on rocky terrain in Colorado and rock/sand in Utah).

I have had two sets of BF ...

I have had two sets of BF Goodrich tires on my SUV and they are the only tires I have gotten 100,000 mile on. Before I retired I averaged more that 44,000 miles per year on a set of tires. I have never had a blowout or road hazard problem with these tires. It is the best product for the money.

Not sure I’d drive on anything else now.

I don’t know where to start with these tires. Such an improvement over my original tires, I went through one season, about 12k miles, and couldn’t ride on the, any longer. They just wouldn’t stop or hold the road I wet weather. They looked like new. These Michelin tires stop in the wet weather, and don’t spin upon leaving a stoplight. In the winter, when you get the slippery conditions with just a small amount of snow, the kind where you don’t know if it’s black ice or just wet? These tires excel! They grip, stop, turn and track like you would hope. I’ve owned pickup’s most of my entire adult life, these are my favorite tires I’ve ever purchased. I’ve owned all the major brands as well. They are quiet and ride nice, (for a truck tire). They are not aggressive but provide good traction in the winter months and are stable on slippery conditions. I like that the tire sipes go all the way through as well.

Less than favourable

I live and work in Canada's North. I'm lucky if 50% of my driving is on paved roads, and I consider the fact that these tires came from the factory as part of the "off road package" absolutely laughable. I can't count the amount of times that my 3/4 ton Ram has had to be pulled out of a soft snow covered shoulder beside the road... or a wet grassy lawn... or heaven forbid a sandy work site. It's embarrassing. When I DO venture south and finally get to a highway, they perform adequately. But for what I require out of a truck tire, they are, quite frankly, dismal.

Running two sets

Running one set of Rugged trails on an 2008 six cylinder Envoy and another set on a 2008 Toyota land cruiser. These vehicles split their time between six lane highways at speeds up to 80 MPH in temperatures of up to 122 degrees. Off road on very rough mountain and canyon tracks in Oman and deep desert work in the empty quarter. So far, not one puncture, good traction and with 20,000 miles on each set, not too much wear. Beats the factory fit tyres hands down.
