Tires are very good on the road. Performance characteristicts on road are very good, noise is minimal. Off road performance is good but not great. They handle ice and light snow very good, deep snow over whelms the limited tread. Its what you expect when buying a tire of this type.

My 03 4x4 Excursion came with these tires OEM. Managed 98K on factory set and am at 98K on replacement set. And ready to buy a third set now. These are excellent all weather tires suitable for average use in light off-road applications. No serious road noise unless you wear the corners of the tires down prematurely.

I have 40,000 miles on this set of tires and will be lucky to get to 50,000 miles. I have them rotated every other oil change at the Toyota dealer and keep them properly inflated. I am a conservative driver and was hoping for a lot more miles, like I have gotten previously on a set of All Terrain TA's. Most of my driving is on the freeway and never off road. Not sure I will buy these again, but puzzled why I did not get more miles on them like others that are leaving reviews?

This is my 2nd set of Defender tires. The Defender 1 or original gave me more than 85k safe miles and performed expertly in snow and rain. The Defender 2 allowed my car to hydroplane in a CT flash flood on I-84 at 40 mph. The Defender 1 gave me about 2% better gas mileage.

These tires came on my used 2002 Sequoia. They were manufactured in 2008. 11 years ago. Still have usable tread but starting to dry rot a little in between the tread. When the time comes, I’ll definitely consider another set of these although they’re hard to find locally. I have put about 20,000 miles on them since I got the vehicle and have had no issues in rain. Have taken several road trips and they don’t make a lot of noise considering the 275/65/18 size. Very wide tires. Love the way they look.

I love the defender tire Michelin. The tires gripped the road really well . There was a car on a busy road and I didn’t see it right away and had to use the brakes fast. The tire really stopped quick. I was glad we had a brand new set of Michelin’s on a car.

I am starting my 8th set of these tires that I have had on my 2 3/4 TN Ram trucks. 100,000 miles / set. Great load range E tires that ride smooth on the pavement and still perform well in all weather conditions, as well on gravel roads. I hope they never discontinue this tire!

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.

I originally purchased a set of Goodyear Assurance Max Life tires in September. After putting 8,000 miles on them, I just wasn’t happy with them, especially after the first heavy rain. America’s tire bought the Good Years back and sold me this set of Michelins. I could feel the difference almost immediately. After almost a week on the tires, they are very quiet and smooth, even on rough roads. Have not driven in the rain with them yet, but I am sure they will be excellent. Very happy with these tires.

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.
