Overall pretty disappointed

I've always had pretty good luck with BFGoodrich tires until this set. I purchased a new 2014 Nissan Xterra and was initially pleased that it came with the Rugged Trails. However after my last oil change at the dealer, I was very surprised to hear from them that my tires were going to need replaced soon. I have 35,000 miles on these tires and normally rotated them at 10,000 mile intervals. I had expected to get at least 50,000 miles out of them so you can say that I'm a bit disappointed. I have ordered some BFGoodrich All-Terrain K/A KO2 tires as replacements but I'm having second thoughts.

Poor milage before replacement

My son replaced the factory original tires on his Toyota Tundra Crew cab with these tires. They did not last more than 25,000 miles before they needed to be replaced. He gave the truck to me when it had 14.000 miles.It has 47,000 now The gas millage and handling were normal but the poor millage obtained is making me replace them with a different tire It seems that every other revied here has the same complaint :-(

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.

Great Tire!

My 2008 Ford F250 Super Duty 4x4 came with tires. I love them. No road noise, consistant wear across front and rear. I have 77,000 miles on them and could do about another 3k but the treads getting to the point where off road theres little grip and I need a front end alighment. I do about half my driving as towing and most as highway or rural roads, very little city. No problem tires.

I HAD MICHELIN DEFENDER 2 FOR NINE YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS SO I REPLACED THEM WITH THE SAME BRAND. I was pleased with the longevity and the ride. I live where there’s lots of snow, but it doesn’t stop me from driving. THE DEFENDER 2 tires plowed through without slipping or spinning I’m pleased with my purchase.

Must have hit the lottery with my Rugged Trail T/A

I have read a lot of reviews on the Rugged Trail T/A tires, and to say the reviews are mixed is an understatement. To the point that I must have hit the lottery with the OEM tires that came on my F150 with HDPP. The size of my OEM tires is LT245/75R17 LRE. Apparently, these tires come in two different tread designs, but the design on mine is the "dog bone" design that the KO2's come in. I just ordered a set of KO2's to replace the OEM Rugged Trail's on my truck. I have 71,250 miles currently on my truck.

P265/70R16 111S

We love this tire on our truck couldn't ask for better. We bought new tires last year just before Thanksgiving. The did everything we hoped for in this tire. We travel a lot and while out in Colorado back in Feb we went off road with our 2 wheel drive truck. Our truck got through the muddy clay batter than the 4 wheel drives did. Gas mileage on the road was better than we hoped for. Love the way this tire performs.

Tires extremely loud

I purchased a set of Defender 2 tires for my Ford Flex 10/9/24. The vehicle is AWD and was aligned shortly thereafter. Since purchased these tires, primarily the rear 2, have been extremely loud. The Defenders I previously had on this vechicle never displayed this obnoxious behavior and I was very satisfied with them. Would not consider purchasing these tires again.
