90,000 Miles

I've just (9/23/13) replaced 4 BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires on my 4X4 pick up truck. I knew it had been a while since I'd put them on so I checked my records and found that I'd purchased those tires on 9/15/06 at 94,600 miles. When I replaced those tires, my odometer read 185,400. Now I'm no mathematician, but I add that up to 90,800, a remarkable number of miles for one set of tires. 7 years and 90,000 miles (I know I could have easily made it 100,000), you can bet your house that I replaced those 4 tires with 4 more Rugged Trail T/A's!

Amazing quiet and comfortable ride with better handling than the original equipment

I am so happy to get four new Michelin Defender 2 tires for my 2018 Toyota Corolla LE. I was considering the Cross Climate 2 but I glad I got the Defenders instead. It rides better than new and the Michelin Primacy MXV4 that came with the car were amazing and lasted 75000 miles and were still legal. The steering response is better than ever and the ride and directional stability are improved and very quiet. I highly recommend these to Corolla owners, because they are a perfect match. They go and go and go just like the Toyota cars

Exceeded Expectations

Have had these tires on my truck for the last 7 years / 90,000 miles (give or take) in all season northern Nevada weather and I am just now replacing them due to two tires being slashed. You can bet I am keeping one of the remaining two as a spare, thoough. These tires are more than worth it.

Great Tires

Ordered tires when I ordered my Truck in 2004(Dodge 3500 4x4 single rear wheel) have replaced them with 61000 miles on them. Only replaced them because of their age and me running into curbs and wearing the sidewalls down. They just passed inspection and could go for another 10000 miles or more I am sure. I haul heavy load(firewood, logs to mill,mulch) you name it. The are good in snow and mud,thats why I got another set.

Pleased with my Rugged Trails

Rugged Trail T/A's came in on my 2005 F250 4x4 crew cab as the stock tire (LT 265/70-17). I had excellent trad wear with them, finally replacing them at 76,000 miles. I never rotated them and they never required a balance. When I replaced them, the rear tires were at 4/32" and the fronts were at 8/32". I found that to be outstanding since they were installed on such a heavy truck. They always got around good in the snow and rain. Not so good in mud, but very good off road if it was dry. I would highly recommend these tires.

Cracking Tires

Horrible tire. 1st set on F-150 replaced under warranty at 23,000 miles due to extensive craking between the treads and at top of sidewall. Replacement set now has even worse cracking between treads and on sidewalls after an addtional 37,000 miles. Its a shame that I now have to replace these tires due to cracking when they still have plenty of tread left.

Good tire for everyday ...

Good tire for everyday highway with weekends on dirt roads. I have a ranch that is down a dirt road and I regularly drive it in different conditions. It has performed well enough (I have not been stuck). I like the price, load rating, quiet ride, and light off-road performance.

Absolutely Terrible

Like others other reviewers, I had these tires as OEM tires on a brand new 2014 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x and had very early failures on all 4 tires. My tires had to be replaced a few weeks ago after only 13 months and 12,303 miles due to excessive cracking in every groove of every tire. Absolutely terrible. This is not an uncommon problem with these tires and BFGoodrich should fix it. There is a lot of information on the internet available on these tires cracking.

Great tread life

The 2011 Ford F-250 I drive for work came gripped with a set of LT 265/70R17 Rugged Trails. As I sit with 77,489 miles on them today I will surely see 90,000 miles out of them. This truck weighs in at just under 10,000 pounds. I have had no issues with traction here in Oregon over snow or through heavy rains. I have had this set rotated only once, hard to find the time. Even wear regardless. The last set of Rugged Trails I had went 95,000 miles. This beats any other tire I have heard of in the same conditions.

Worst tires ever

Worst tires ever. I just bought a new 2013 Toyota Tacoma with these tires on the truck that had 3 miles on it when i purchased it.. They were part of the T.R.D. off road package as a factory upgrade. Well i just put 3,052 miles on the truck and while doing my first 5,000 mile/6 month service oil change and tire rotation i discovered huge cracks between the treads. It was on all 4 tires in the same area of the treads of the 4 tires. Ive never been off road or abused these tires one bit i drive like an old lady or so im told and i think its ridiculous that i have to get a new set of tires at 3,052 miles. Word of caution if i had these on my vehicle i would pay close attention and watch for the cracks that develop next to the treads on the tires. I will never except a new vehicle with these junk tires on it again.Im allso told BF will prorate my tires for a fee to replace them. That is absolutely unacceptable, i buy a brand new truck with 3 miles on it and six months and 3,052 miles later the treads are cracking badly and im told I have to PAY a prorate on these garbage tires???? I thought for sure id get 50,000 miles the way i drive but 3,052 miles , i cant afford new tires every 3,000 miles save your money and stress and get something else. I would upload a pic but it doesnt allow me.Im an A.S.E certified automotive technician with 15 years experience and a New York State Licensed auto inspector. Really stressed and dissapointed with these tires maybe they would be good for a tire swing but i think thats even pushing it for these tires.
