Work well for the intended purpose

These are the OEM tires for my 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Crew Cab. Some reviewers don't like these tires for off-road, deep snow, or mud. These tires are not designed as true off-road tires, BF Goodrich makes other tires better suited for those applications. This on-road tire is a compromise for occasional off-road use and if you understand that, they are good tires. I have a very steep 200 ft. driveway since my house is on a hill in the mountains and even in over 12 inches of snow I haven't been stopped. This past week during hunting season I had to drive off-road to retrieve a deer and had no problems. If you don't know how to drive in snow or off-road there isn't a tire made that will help you. These tires are very quiet compared to off-road tires and wear is respectable. I'm getting over 35,000 miles a set, primarily on-road miles.

This tire is a proven tire for its use

These tires come standed on my truck, the tread ware was excellent, I changed them out at 65000 miles only because of weather cracking, I think they would have gone another ten thousand miles, I would have bought the same tire but the price killed it for me, I put another brand on and I am not happy with them.

sidewalls cut easily

Came stock on 2010 Dodge 2500 pickup, 14000 mi. road & highway use , plowed park lot of my business twice in 2011. replaced r/f tire 9/2012 cut in sidewall,was going to rotate spare onto front & buy (1) new tire , new spare had cuts on sidewall just from hanging under truck, cant use new spare.Now have to buy second tire.Not happy!!! I'm sure the warr. will be just as good? Ran BFG radial T/A's for 15 years on 74 pwrwagon, used for lots of plowing & pounded them off road, not one problem!

The only reasonI bought ...

The only reasonI bought these tires because they were on sale at a great price. They ride much better than the Michelins that came on the truck from the factory. I believe because of the tread, they make a bit more road noise than my previous tires. The all terrain tread has been great in the snow.

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.

Sidewall deteriorating

I have this tire on my 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie deisel Mega Cab. I have approx 80,000 miles on the tires. The tread is still good for another 10,000 but the sidewall has been deteriorating since 2008. It started on one tire then began to spread to additional tires. I guess I will be forced to replace the tires before the tread is worn out simply because the sidewall looks like it will split anytime. I pull 7 different trailers up and down the highway ahd was very diligent about tire rotation/inflation. I do not believe I have abused the tires would like to replace with same but have my reservations now.

Cracking Tires

Horrible tire. 1st set on F-150 replaced under warranty at 23,000 miles due to extensive craking between the treads and at top of sidewall. Replacement set now has even worse cracking between treads and on sidewalls after an addtional 37,000 miles. Its a shame that I now have to replace these tires due to cracking when they still have plenty of tread left.

Excellent wear and Ride

2500 dodge ram 4x4 diesel 4dr. These tires have 45,000 and still have 45% tread left. I believe they are partly responsible for my good fuel mileage also. I have Never had a tire on a Pickup last like these. Great in heavy rain. No complaints in snow. My off road is occasional and I they have performed well till I get in mud then they just get me by but I have never been stuck either. If you don't have a lot of mud these are the tire. If I had lots of snow I might go with K/O's but this one is doing very well. I will buy these again, just sorry i didn't find these decades ago.

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.
