Bad tires for wet

When I was on a road trip it started to rain and out of nowhere I skidded around several times as if nothing had happened. Luckily I didn't cause an accident. Since then I realized that it's very easy to skid when it's wet. Now I'm afraid of having an accident when the pavement is wet.

Very satisfied with brand ...

Very satisfied with brand style and service of this tire being the originals and did not want to chang, I wanted to stay with same wanting the spare to match since it was almost with-out wear. Tires are still servicable enough even though they are seven years old stil have lots of tread left , plan to put them on my 1949 Chevy 3600 .

Defender 2's are LOUD, LOUD tires

I wish I could give a "0" to the defender 2. I just purchased them last week and they are LOUD. Very, Very LOUD. They are so bad my wife does not want to drive in the Santa Fe with me. If you are smart, please stay away from the Defender 2. Thank you.

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.

I just purchased again!

This was original equipment on my 2010 Tundra, and it was used mainly for towing our 7000LB travel trailer. I just replaced with the exact same tire, I was very pleased to get 48000 miles from these tires with probably about 14-15000 miles of towing on them. The tires where very good in the rain and snow, and I went off road driving a few times with no complaints. many tires on the market where rated better and some even cheaper but why change a good thing??

I would buy them again

These tires are OEM on my 2014 F150 Supercab 4x4 XLT long bed truck which has the HD package. I use the truck about 1/2 the time towing a travel trailer. I do not go off-roading. I have used it to back up a rain slick grassy hill into my camping site at home football games. They are not noisy, since the tread design isn't super aggressive. After 42k miles, the tread is still in great shape. Just from tread wear, I'd say I have another 25k + miles left before I have to replace these. At this point, I will the same or similar BF Goodrich tire.

When I purchased my truck ...

When I purchased my truck it came with these tires I was so happy with the treadware and ride and proformance,I searched to find the these same tires even though the one dealer I went to said I could get cheaper ones that would just as good. I left and called BFGoodrich to find a dealer close to me, where I purchased them now I'm happy.

I currently have 45,000 ...

I currently have 45,000 miles on these tires and they have performed excellent for off-road and highway driving. I was surprised of how smooth they feel on the highway and they have excellent traction as well. One thing I found out about extending the life of your tires is to rotate and balance them every 5,000 miles and so far its paying off. These tires are also built tough, my wife loves to hug curbs and the sidewalls are definately holding up, thanks BFGoodrich.

Rugged Trail TAs

My Nissan Titan Pro4 X truck came with these tires in 2008 and I just put my second pair on the truck. The handling, low road noise, long wear, and dependability make them worth much more than I paid for them. If this set lasts as good as the other I will never have anything else on my trucks from here on out.
