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

This tire came on my 2012 F-350 4x4 dually. I've towed my 20K lb camper more than 13K miles and driven unloaded more than 20k miles. The tires handle excellent on wet, dry, snow and dirt. I have not been on ice or mud. They dig in sand. I am very pleased with the tires, but I am currently searching for a new set as they are completely worn out. Tires are worn pretty evenly and have had normal rotations.

I have had two sets of BF Goodrich tires on my SUV and they are the only tires I have gotten 100,000 mile on. Before I retired I averaged more that 44,000 miles per year on a set of tires. I have never had a blowout or road hazard problem with these tires. It is the best product for the money.

I always buy Michelin tires for my travel and performance vehicles. They are tough, dependable and long lasting. This is the second set of Michelin tires I have purchased for the Explorer. The first set had shorter stopping numbers than the Defender, but I went with these based on the dealer recommendation. Plus these are 80k mile tires. I have not driven them in the rain to test stopping distance due to the recent drought in Texas. But I can say they stand up to the 100+ heat at highway speeds. I highly recommend Michelin tires.

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.

I bought a set of these from a guy that had them on his 1 ton truck, he had them on for less than a year and under 2,000 miles. I can see why he sold them for so cheap, they have a very harsh ride quality. They do wear evenly which is a good sign but when I hit a bump...hold on for dear life. I have new shocks and no leaf spring issues but these tires don't help absorb any of that force from hitting a bump. Snow, wet and slushy road conditions are the enemy of this tire, terrible traction. Be ready to use your four wheel drive even with the lightest of snow fall. If you drive a GM truck with traction control oand stabilitrack, keep that turned off with these tires and your 4WD ready. I can see why the previous owner got rid of these for cheap, I see them for sale all the time for dirt cheap on local websites. It's time BF Goodrich stops overcharging for tires just because of the name. I used to have the 33 inch mud terrains but after these tires, never again

The Defender 2 tires are replacements on my Lexus ES 350. The tires are quiet and handle well but they are very bumpy/rough riding. I've had the tires rebalanced but it didn't fix the bumpy ride. I've driven them about 500 miles so far and I wouldn't recommend these tires due to the ride quality. I'm giving two stars because they are very quiet and handle great.

These tires are great! They take me anywhere I choose to go,on and especially off-road! My gas mileage has remained incredible, also the car rides even smoother than it did before I instaled the BF'S. The solid construction of the tires allow me to air them down for a superior ride with no resistance on my little 4-CYL. Resulting in great fuel economy! GREAT WORK YA'LL! It's BF'S or walk!

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

I don't know how, but after my factory originals came off my 2002 Avalanche, I tried these on a lark. 60,000 miles later, I'm on my second set. My gross load, 12 times a year is 15,000 lbs. towing hay. Never a problem , even in 110 degree heat. Great tire on non paved road in summer and darn good in winter mud. BFG is all I trust for the entire families vehicles- no kidding. I wish they could make a tire which would keep the dirt outside where it belongs. Thank you B.F. Goodrich
