I love my new tires

I love my tires. I was distressed because we had a flat tire in the high-speed lane. We were concerned about replacing it. We were blessed to find a great company that replaced all four. We got a front-end alignment. I feel like I'm driving atop of the line Cadillac. My Highlander has always been a great ride, but the tires have made it a dream, and they look great. Bravo

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.

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.

Mazda CX-5

Great tires that grip better than any All Season I’ve ever owned. Wet (rain) or dry pavement, these tires hug the road like the best of them. I’d give them 5 stars, except I find them to be a little louder past 70km/h than I’d like… they have a slight buzz depending on the speed at which you’re rolling which gets higher pitched and louder the faster you go. I stalled on a 2021 Mazda CX-5.

Defective Tires

I got these tires on my brand new car less than a year ago. At first I thought they looked cool and performed well, but little did I know I was only going to have problems. In less than 9000 miles (thats not a typo) I had problems with 2 out of the 4 tires. First off I am not an aggressive driver and the tread is 50% gone. One tire will not stay inflated for more than a few days and the other popped while going less than five miles an hour on the nicest dirt road you have ever seen. Needless to say I will never get these tires again and I will never recommend these tires. Maybe they were just defective tires, I will never know because I am switching tires and never looking back. Maybe I just have bad luck.

Weather cracks on sidewall

I bought my 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Mega Cab Turbo Diesel truck in November 2012. I like the tires but they seem to be weathering a lot on the sidewalls. They still have plenty of tread left but I am not sure they will last anouther 10,000 miles. I have put about 25000 miles on them (highway mostly). I am taking anouther trip to Arizona next month. The tire is a great tire but I just wonder if this was a bad batch... I am probably going to have to get a new set before my trip.

Tire Squirm

I bought these tires a month ago and I am not happy with them. They have constant tire squirm at highway speeds. I constantly have to make microadjustments in my steering wheel to keep straight. I dont believe its an alignment issue as it wasnt there before the new tires.

Tires wear very evenly, ...

Tires wear very evenly, and were very great for the fuel economy and highway travel. However, I only got about 30,000 mi out of them and did not preform very well at all off road. I would recommend if you do alot of highway driving, and if you do not have a high torque vehicle such as a diesel.

Better tire life with Michelin, thank you very much

I used to have Hankook tires on my Honda Civic. They only lasted about 30k miles I had two sets, the one from new and the replacements. Both lasted only 30k and I drive very conservatively. I noticed that my wifes Acura has Michelin tires and has not worn them out after 100,000 miles. So that is 3X longer than my Hankook tires. So now I have Michelin Defender 2 tires and I like the stiffer ride they provide.

Not like the old Defender tire

I had defender tires on my old vehicle… super quiet and smooth. They made it 110,000 miles.. super happy. So I bought the new defender2 tire. Something has changed in the compound of the defender2 tire. Rides much rougher and and not nearly as quiet as the continental tires that came on my MDX. Decent … but not overwhelmed by these tires.
