Work well for the intended purpose

These are the OEM tires for my 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Crew Cab. Some reviewers don't like these tires for off-road, deep snow, or mud. These tires are not designed as true off-road tires, BF Goodrich makes other tires better suited for those applications. This on-road tire is a compromise for occasional off-road use and if you understand that, they are good tires. I have a very steep 200 ft. driveway since my house is on a hill in the mountains and even in over 12 inches of snow I haven't been stopped. This past week during hunting season I had to drive off-road to retrieve a deer and had no problems. If you don't know how to drive in snow or off-road there isn't a tire made that will help you. These tires are very quiet compared to off-road tires and wear is respectable. I'm getting over 35,000 miles a set, primarily on-road miles.

Leaves a bit to be desires

These tires came standard on my 2010 Tundra. When new they rode nice and looked good. They however did not wear well. My truck is well maintained and has had an easy life but you wouldn't guess it by the condition of the tires. 46000 and they are completely worn out!

Best tires on the market.

I've purchased several tires in the defender range, normally lt or ltx but these are my first defender 2's, I can't tell you how impressed I am. smooth, quiet, and my fuel mileage increased over the stock tires. I like michelens because of the full depth siping, the tiny cuts in the tread where all the traction really comes from.

Perfect Tires

I bought these for my Jetta in 2019, my car had 62,000 miles on it. I am almost ready for new ones I have 145,000 on my car! I love Michelin’s won’t buy anything else, if it is good enough for the Paris Metro than it is good enough for me! (We road the Metro)

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.

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.

I've had two sets of ...

I've had two sets of these on my Tundra. Neither set have had any manufacturing defects. I have got about 50K from each set. After 40K, (this winter) they didnt do very well in the snow, even with a bit of tread left. I'm going to try my luck on a set of BF All Terrain's next.

Do not buy

I am a contractor and drive in many condition. These tire handle fine on the highway. However they are about worthless in any other condition. In snow, mud or wet grass they do not have any traction. The tread fills up and you have slicks. I am not impressed with the tread life. I have had these on two vehicles booth dodge 2500. One was a diesel and the other gas. Booth trucks had worn tires within 15,000 miles and needed to be replaced. That was with rotating them every time oil was changed. Every 4 to 5 thousand miles. I you plan on driving in any condition other than highway chose another tire. I don't expect great wear with a 2500 series truck but i have had much better luck with other brand tires.

2011 Frontier Pro-4x

My 2011 Frontier came stock with prior generation Rugged Trail T/A. Truck is mainly for commuting, 50/50 city/highway with only a few light offroad excursions. At 13k, I have only 5 to 7/32's left. If this were my G35 w/ 160 treadwear sticky tires, I'd understand, but this is quite poor for my truck. Offroad traction was actually good when newer, but unless I'm in 4WD I can barely steer in snow. I had a 2009 Frontier SE with Long Trail T/A - not as aggressive looking, but had a lot more tread at 18k and were A LOT better in snow. I won't be buying Rugged Trails in the future.
