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.

3 sets over 80k mi each

Had a 2005 F150 drove for 6 years 242,000 miles. Original BFG Rugged Trails went 84k miles and liked them so well bought 2 more sets with the 3rd set still on them when I traded the truck. Bought a 2011 F150 with OEM 275-65-18 tires and may get 70k if lucky. Tossing back and forth between Rugged Trail and another well known brand....biggest toss up isn't price, its the ride, low noise, look and the OWL style. I think they will look good on a white truck.

LT 265 70R 17

Bought a 2005 F250 Super Duty 4X4 Diesel with BF Goodrich Rugged Trail TA's 265 70R 17's and just replaced them with the same tire. I had 48000 miles on these tires and could have gotten another year out of them but with the original tires over 8 years old, I decided to replace them. I am very pleased with BF Goodrich tires.

Not putting these on again

I have a strong dislike to this tire. They tires seem to wear fast, but they do ride nice on the road (anything outside the road is bad). I got these tires with the truck when I bought it and want to put on different tires soon. They are fine on dry pavement but snow, ice, mud even driving in dry fields these tires have very little grip in. I use these for regular highway, and snow and off road conditions and recommend that you go with a more aggressive pattern if you need to go off road.

In 7000 miles on the ...

In 7000 miles on the current Rugged Trails, they have handled well in wet, dry, and mild off-road conditions. In the packed snow on the roads in the mountains, I expected the tires to slip in several situations, but was surprised at the amount of grip they had. Wear is minimal so far with the E rated tires on my 3/4 ton Dodge and I am satisfied with these tires as the original equipment on the truck.

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).

Pretty scared by the reviews

I just put these in my 2011 f-150 supercrew after inwas told inwas getting the Rugged Terrain. I went with the rugged trail because its the size they had and my oem wrangler SR As were wore out. Its the families primary vehicle and by these reviews I am scared to death to drive in anything other than sunshine. I mean i read reviews on the GY Wrangler SRAs were not good for snow and ice but they never gave me trouble. But these reviews are down right scary with my 14, 6 and 1 month old. They seem to handle fine on dry pavement, but very stressed now about when the weather comes. I just wish people would say more about their trouble in bad weather like are they hydroplaning bc they are doing 80mph down the highway in the pouring rain or is it 10 degrees outside when the snow is packing in the tread. Ugh. Im not sure if i regret my purchase but defintely dont feel like finding out the hard way!!!

Great tread life on a dually

I'm on my second set of these for my 2017 F350 DRW. These replaced the factory tires that were underwhelming to say the least. The steers lasted about 70k miles, and the drives gave nearly 85k miles. The truck spends 90%+ of its life with a 20k lb. gooseneck trailer hooked to the back of it, much of that off paved roads, and some of the off road is severe. I have about 30k on the second set of steers and about 15k on the drives, and they're wearing great.

rugged trail t/a

these came on my pick up and have 55,000 so far and have little life left. they seem to hold up and work good but they have little cracks started after been on for three years . but they don't leak air or doesn't bother performance. I put new on back and havent cracked yet maybe after four years they crack because it was new and probably was on the truck a few month s before I bought them even though it was bran new truck

RUGGED TRAIL T/A ten ply

I purchased a used truck a few years back with these tires (brand new) on it. The manufacture date on the tires show that they are now five years old. They are ten ply tires with prob half the tread remaining at this point. With in the last month both front tires have suddenly blown out. Both times they caused extensive damage to my vehicle. both front fenders and inner fenders are toast. The first blow out ripped out my abs wiring and toar up my running board. Boath tires were in good visible condition and I have always maintained proper tire pressure. I would not recommend buying these tires and am going to replace the rear four tires as soon as I can afford to do so.....
