Great

In 2004 I purchased a 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty Crew Cab 4x4 with a diesel engine. This truck came equipped with BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A in LT265/75R16. This vehicle in itself is heavy and I also pull a 30' fifth wheel when vacationing. I drive 60 miles a day to and from work and much of it is in 4 wheel drive. As of today I have 105,338 miles on these tires and believe they still have 25% of the tread left. I will be replacing them soon because I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where the winters are hard and long, old saying is 9 months of winter and 3 months of poor sledding. Thank you for a great product, I will be looking for another BF Goodrich product for a replacement.

These tires are utilized ...

These tires are utilized on the Offroad model since the Nissan XTerra is a vehicle which is produced for both venues - on and offroad. I have owned the vehicle since new, as were the tires. I have approximately 55,000 miles on these tires. I am pleased with their dependability, only issues would be during the winter months with ice. I would recommend these tires for any vehicle with 4wd. Should I need to replace them in the next 10k miles or so I would purchase the same BF Goodrich Rugged Trail tires..

Not as quiet as the Michelin Energy Saver

i recently purchased the Defender 2 for my Toyota Camry LE. My original tires were the Michelin Energy Saver. These tires seem to perform well, but they are not as quiet as the Energy Saver. I'm considering swapping them out for the Energy Saver because of this. Have you heard this from any other reviews?

Only Michelin Will Do on My Forester!

I purchased my Michelin Defender 2 radials as replacements for my unacceptable OEM tires when we purchased our new 2024 Subaru Forester, insisting that the dealer replace those tires with the much-superior Defender 2s. It caused a bit of a stir but they went along with it and we couldn't have been happier since then. Between the Ice-X 3s that we roll with during the winter months, our Forester is "Michelin-covered" year-round and for many years to come!

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

These tires are AWESOME!!!!! I have 2009 Ford F-150 SuperCab 4x4 that has turned over 406,000 miles that I use for work as a Project Manager for a precast concrete company. 90% of my traveling for work is on the highway running 60 to 75 mph. The factory tires went to 67,000+, then I put a set of BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires on to give them a try. With the large amount of traveling that I do I needed an excellent set of tires that could live up to a lot of miles all year round. I found that with the Rugged Trail T/As. The first set on the truck I ran to 157,000+ miles. Still had good tread, but the sidewalls started having cracking that made me want to replace them which I went back with the Rugged Trail due to the excellent life I got out of the first ones. The second set of Rugged Trails I ran to 181,000+ miles. Once again, the tires still had good tread on them, I changed them due to the sidewalls having cracking. My mechanic said I could have probably ran them another 50,000 and they would have been fine because the cracking was only the outer layer of rubber from the heat of the pavement in the summer time, but being I'm out of town the biggest part of my time I told him to go ahead and change them. The third set of BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/As went on my truck a week ago. I have had outstanding service with these tires and as long as BFG is selling them I'm going to keep buying them without a second thought. I rotate my tires every single oil change (6,000,7,000 miles) and check the air pressure on a regular basis. I've never had an issue with cupping or uneven wear on either set I have had on my truck and in matter fact, my mechanic took the 181,000+ tires home with him since they were still in good enough shape that they could be put on a truck for someone that may not have the cash for a new set at the time. Excellent job BFG. It has been a long time since I have came across a product that is actually 100% worth the money that a customer pays for it.

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.

Re-shoe for worn out soles

Great Tire so far. Our 2023 GMC Acadia SLT factory Primacy Tour A/S tires were good but were getting low on tread depth at 40,000 miles. With all the home reconstruction going on in Treasure Island, FL, due to last year's double whammy of a 3' of tidal surge and then Hurricane winds two weeks later, the "balding " tires were getting prone to debris/construction material nails, shards, etc.

My tire.

I have been driving on michelin tires for 20 years now. I will always be driving on michelin tires. I have been driving now for over 50 years and on many other tire brands as well but michelin tires will always be on my vehicles now. Great company to deal with if you have an issue.

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.
