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!

Extremely disappointed

OEM Nissan Frontier Pro X4: 2012 This is my wife's daily driver. She is past full retirement age and drives on pavement and rarely any place with a speed limit over 45mph. The truck has 31,000 miles and the tires are bald. Have had two previous F150s with Goodrich OEM tires that ran to the 7x,xxx range. To say I am disappointed is an understatement.

Undecided!

Bought my Defender 2 tires today 11/18/2024. Have to say that on the way home on the interstate with some new asphalt and some new pavement I noticed a hum inside the car that was not there before. Was hoping these new tires would be quiet. Maybe they will break in maybe not.

Exceptional tire!!! Defender 2

These tires have demonstrated exceptional handling capabilities. Road performance is superb, with unmatched wet and dry traction across various terrains. The tires appear to be durable, boasting an 80,000-mile rating. While the price point is slightly higher, the value proposition justifies the investment. This is undoubtedly a superior tire.

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.

Very satisfied with brand ...

Very satisfied with brand style and service of this tire being the originals and did not want to chang, I wanted to stay with same wanting the spare to match since it was almost with-out wear. Tires are still servicable enough even though they are seven years old stil have lots of tread left , plan to put them on my 1949 Chevy 3600 .

P265/70R16 111S

We love this tire on our truck couldn't ask for better. We bought new tires last year just before Thanksgiving. The did everything we hoped for in this tire. We travel a lot and while out in Colorado back in Feb we went off road with our 2 wheel drive truck. Our truck got through the muddy clay batter than the 4 wheel drives did. Gas mileage on the road was better than we hoped for. Love the way this tire performs.

Not your typical milage

I purchased my F-250 Crew mid October 2006. She was shod with a set of the BFG Rugged Trail TAs. I've had different BFG tires in the past & knew of their quality, so I knew these would do me good. My 1st heavy snow I was impressed with the grip and confidence. The ride on dry pavement was nice and quiet. MPG isn't an option in a gas Super Duty. The 75psi and F-250 suspension made bumps a bit rough though (it rode like a truck). I did a few thousand miles of towing of a 28' enclosed trailer (running about 11k lbs loaded) and 18' open trailer. I only rotated the tires 3 or 4 times over the lifetime, but always watched my pressures and treated the sidewalls with silicon sprays. I considered replacing them in the Fall of 2010, but they weren't down to the wear bars yet. Finally this year I decided to replace them with another set of the Rugged Trail TAs. So after 96,911 miles the truck got a new set of tires! And they STILL have 3/32 - 5/32" of tread left on them!!!!!! Oh yeah, these tires are AWESOME! I'm hoping to get up to Moosehead Lake to test them with some off-roading this Summer.

Not as quiet as the Michelin Energy Saver

i recently purchased the Defender 2 for my Toyota Camry LE. My original tires were the Michelin Energy Saver. These tires seem to perform well, but they are not as quiet as the Energy Saver. I'm considering swapping them out for the Energy Saver because of this. Have you heard this from any other reviews?
