amazed but happy

Ram 2500 quad cab 4 WD diesel Pulled 30 ft toy hauler for 2 years Pulled 18 ft stock trailer for 5 years Never a problem with tires Finally bought new set of rugged trail TA Just like the ones that came off at 95,472 miles Don't think you can do much better than that! Plus 18 to 25 mpg!

Pleased with my Rugged Trails

Rugged Trail T/A's came in on my 2005 F250 4x4 crew cab as the stock tire (LT 265/70-17). I had excellent trad wear with them, finally replacing them at 76,000 miles. I never rotated them and they never required a balance. When I replaced them, the rear tires were at 4/32" and the fronts were at 8/32". I found that to be outstanding since they were installed on such a heavy truck. They always got around good in the snow and rain. Not so good in mud, but very good off road if it was dry. I would highly recommend these tires.

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.

Do not buy

I am a contractor and drive in many condition. These tire handle fine on the highway. However they are about worthless in any other condition. In snow, mud or wet grass they do not have any traction. The tread fills up and you have slicks. I am not impressed with the tread life. I have had these on two vehicles booth dodge 2500. One was a diesel and the other gas. Booth trucks had worn tires within 15,000 miles and needed to be replaced. That was with rotating them every time oil was changed. Every 4 to 5 thousand miles. I you plan on driving in any condition other than highway chose another tire. I don't expect great wear with a 2500 series truck but i have had much better luck with other brand tires.

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..

Excellent Choice for a 2500/3500 Ram

I have just over 71K miles on the original tires on my truck (2010 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab, 6.7L Cummins, Auto, 4x4). They ride extremely well, are quiet, excellent off road, they do their job, and they wear even with rotations done every 7500 miles. The tread life has more than exceeded my expectations. Around 45K miles I remember saying I have about 10K miles left on them--with approaching 20K miles beyond my initial assessment, I couldn't be happier with these tires. I will be purchasing these again right around 75K miles. Couldn't be happier with them! Thanks BFGoodrich!

More than disappointed

I failed to rotate these tires so I know I added to the problem of tire wear, but at 19K the front tires are looking heavily worn and the rear tires are not far behind. I'm so unhappy with these tires that I decided to junk them and buy a new set of a different brand.

Very poor mileage from the tires

On a 2015 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X Crew cab. Have less than 30,000 miles on the tires and they have been rotated usually ever 5,000. Most of the mileage has been highway miles. Have used T/A radials on numerous trucks and was satisfied. This set of tires is a great big DISAPPOINTMENT. To be worn out at this low of mileage, ridiculous!!! Status of tires have been verified by Nissan dealer plus a tire store.

Two Sets Down, Probably Go w/ Third Set

I am closing out my second set of these tires on a 2007 Toyota Tundra. Am seriously considering a third set because I have had good luck thus far. Have averaged 55K/set so far. I could run this second set a little further, but I think it makes sense to not push things from a safety perspective, particularly where wet road traction is concerned. I am a little concerned with some of the comments on this site regarding sidewall cracking, but I am pretty sure that I will once again choose this tire for my third set. I will definitely post an updated review if things don't work out well!

Just bought our 3rd set.

After buying a 2011 Xterra Pro-4X that came with these tires, we were sold. Once those originals wore out (they had over 50k miles on them when we passed them along to a friend and bought new ones) they were promptly replaced with a new set of the same tire. I just ordered a set for my husband's Titan Pro-4x which we'd bought used and came with some Firestones. Those tires didn't perform nearly as well as the Rugged Trails do. Our 4x's will wear nothing else as long as these tires continue to be available. They ride well on pavement, but still provide the right amount of traction and grip needed when things get muddy, snowy or otherwise messy. They even handle well in heavy rain.. we practically drove the X through a rainstorm/tornado one day and never had an issue with hydroplaning or skidding. I recommend these to everyone with a four wheel drive.
