38,000 miles and wore out

I have a set of BFG Rugged Trail T/As that came factory on my 2008 Ford F150 Fx4. They are a really great looking set of tires. They've been rotated at 6,000mi intervals during normal service and used for highway/city driving, but at 38,000 miles they are completely shot and all have significant weather cracking. I've had BFG tires before (for both truck and SUV) and have always gotten good wear and tread life, but not with these. Wasn't expecting to get 80,000+mi out of them, but certainly expected more than what I've gotten. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I'm highly disappointed to have to replace with so few miles given the care and use.

Best tires I've ever owned

In 45 years of driving, this is the best tire I've ever owned. Cam as factory on my Tundra. Amazing traction. Never let me down. 55,000 miles and just now nearing the wear bars.Pulled 2 stuck chevy's out of mud and snow without any problem. Only issue I have now is that I can't find any of these in my size in stock anywhere.

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.

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.

Tires wear very evenly, ...

Tires wear very evenly, and were very great for the fuel economy and highway travel. However, I only got about 30,000 mi out of them and did not preform very well at all off road. I would recommend if you do alot of highway driving, and if you do not have a high torque vehicle such as a diesel.

not up to the standard

This tire came on our fleet vehicles. We have over 300 on the road. When they were brand new they were good tires as most all tires are. I rotate my tires every 10k. This tire requires you to rotate them more often. after 25k miles I started to feel and hear the tires getting louder. I drove 35k miles in 9 months so I'm on the road a lot. I work from the mississippi river to the Atlantic, from the flat lands in the midwest to the rugged hills of PA and Maine. They are just horrible in the snow and rain. I wouldn't recommend these tires to anyone. If your looking for something that goes on the highway and the gravel/mud roads this isn't the tire for you.

I would buy this product again and again

I bought my F150 Lariat 4x4 new back in 2007. I have just reached a little over 70,000 miles on my tires and they now need to be changed. The tires are very quiet. My son loves them compared to the other tires that I had on another truck. You could hear me coming from a mile away LOL. These tires are very quiet, smooth running and have worn very well. I would highly recommend them. Thumbs up, Goodrich.

Pretty scared by the reviews

I just put these in my 2011 f-150 supercrew after inwas told inwas getting the Rugged Terrain. I went with the rugged trail because its the size they had and my oem wrangler SR As were wore out. Its the families primary vehicle and by these reviews I am scared to death to drive in anything other than sunshine. I mean i read reviews on the GY Wrangler SRAs were not good for snow and ice but they never gave me trouble. But these reviews are down right scary with my 14, 6 and 1 month old. They seem to handle fine on dry pavement, but very stressed now about when the weather comes. I just wish people would say more about their trouble in bad weather like are they hydroplaning bc they are doing 80mph down the highway in the pouring rain or is it 10 degrees outside when the snow is packing in the tread. Ugh. Im not sure if i regret my purchase but defintely dont feel like finding out the hard way!!!

Good Quality

I used this tire on my '09 Honda Accord for years. The last set lasted 6+ years. I average 11,000-13,000 miles a year. Wore great and evenly with regular rotations and alignments. Now I'm getting them for my '18 Accord. I really like the quality of this tire.

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.
