Tires are very good on the road. Performance characteristicts on road are very good, noise is minimal. Off road performance is good but not great. They handle ice and light snow very good, deep snow over whelms the limited tread. Its what you expect when buying a tire of this type.

142,800 miles and they still had 4/32 tread on them. I was going to make them last to 150,000 but I got a hole in the right front tire that was to close to the sidewall to fix. Definately bought the same tires for replacement. I will be disappointed if my new ones don't go 150,000 miles. lol

I got these on my Tacoma from the factory and I was pleasantly surprised. I currently have 52K miles on these tires with no complaints. They work well on sand, loose gravel , snow, wet conditions etc. The road noise is not too bad compared to other BFG tires I have owned .

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.

Tires ride smoothly and quietly. Was hoping to replace my Michelin Primacy with another set of Michelin Primacy. Old tires had plenty of tread but were getting old (summer only car with low mileage). The Defender do not corner like the Primacy. The Primacy were more performance oriented and you can tell the difference. Unfortunately the Primacy in my tire size is no longer available (225R60/16). I do not drive like a race car driver but when I made a U-turn, you could tell they didn't grip the same. Also when making a left turn with and advanced light, sometimes I can tell my tires are slipping (accelerate a little too hard for the tires). I wish the Primacy were still available in my size.

The stock 265/75 R16 BF Goodrich Rugged Trail 114T that came new on my Nissan Frontier Nismo are the fastest wearing tires I have ever owned. My vehicle sits in the garage when not in use so the tires even stay nice and dry when not in use. I currently have 27000 miles on them and they are already almost bald. Also I'm 54 years old and a very conservative driver so if they wear fast the way I use them I promise you they will wear fast for you also.

Rugged Trail TAs came standard on the 03 Excursion. The powerstroke diesel makes 325 HP and 545 FP torque stock. I reprogrammed the ECM and TCM for high performance and I pull a 8000# cargo trailer and 30' travel trailer. This is no grocery gitr. After 85K I bought another set. These have 97K and have another 5-15K left. I am pricing another set for this winter. I want to find them in a larger diameter because 265's look ridiculously small for this size SUV. These tires are a great value, don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Joe U. Green Bay

Overall a great long wearing on on/off road tire that covers all the four seasons and great for the north woods. The northwoods for me is logging roads, gravel and packed leaves on a trail, which I utilize. Traction in deep snow was good and coupled with wet pack and ice it was good also. I think a lot of people believe that they can drive just as well on snow and ice as dry pavement and get themselves in trouble. I got 105,500 on my Ram 2500 because I rotated and balanced about every 7,500 miles. I truly believe in my opinion that this is the key for any tire to achieve great life. I would buy this tire again as it has the versatility of everything a normal person would drive on and through on an occasional basis, or four seasons of Wisconsin weather.

These tires are utilized on the Offroad model since the Nissan XTerra is a vehicle which is produced for both venues - on and offroad. I have owned the vehicle since new, as were the tires. I have approximately 55,000 miles on these tires. I am pleased with their dependability, only issues would be during the winter months with ice. I would recommend these tires for any vehicle with 4wd. Should I need to replace them in the next 10k miles or so I would purchase the same BF Goodrich Rugged Trail tires..

The factory Yokohama tires on my 2024 Subaru Crosstrek were fair at best. They had a decent ride BUT they did not even make it to 36,000 miles (which is not acceptable!). I bought the Michelin Defender 2 tires and I am exceedingly pleased with the results. The Michelin Defender 2’s (along with a wheel alignment) have made a significant difference in the overall quality and performance of the ride. Tight on the corners and overall smooth and quiet. The Michelin Defender 2’s are noticeably quieter and hug the road smoother. From now on I will only be driving on Michelin tires. Also, they have an 80,000 mile warranty. I drive in all kinds of weather conditions and thus far they have exceeded my expectations in all respects. Great job Michelin you have made a lifetime customer out of me.
