Belays split in tread on every tire

Drive lots of highway miles and every tire wore out the exact same, a goose egg split in the bands down the center of the tread. Front two gave out at 45000 in 2.5 years and the rears now just a 3 years and 50000... low grade tire for slightly higher price compared to off brand

Great Looking Tire Had to Replace New

Tires came stock on my new 2011 Nissan Titan Pro 4X. The vehicle contnued to develope a vibration and at 800 miles was unbearable. All 4 tires were road force balanced and found to be defective (out of round-flat spotted). BF Goodrich warranty service was fantastic as they authorized 4 new tires of my choosing. I elected to go with the LTX Michelin's since Michelin owns BF Goodrich however, the dealer replaced them with the same Rugged Trails which from reveiwing the BF Goodrich website are no longer produced. Replacement tires are much much better (road forced balanced again). Still not the smoothest of rides but acceptable.

Highly recommend

I have over 110,000 miles on my 2010 Ram 2500, 4x4, diesel. Still have good tread. I just think I may need more for this winter. I highly recommend them and my son-in-law just put a set of Goodrich AT tires on his new Ford. Needless to say I'm going to put on another set.

A Totally Different Michelin Defender 2 Compared To Defender1

Defender 2's have a smooth ride quality that is very noticeable as compared to regular Defenders. Makes my 97 4Runner have a ride it hasn't had using the original Defender. Very pleased with the looks, ride quality, and performance of the tire. Seems the tread design does not make much noise. My only regret after having tires for eleven weeks! Apparently ran over a piece of 1/2" steel that got inserted into the tire tread. Selling dealer, even with a paid protection plan, plug patched tire with only 1345 miles instead of replacing it? Hope the tire is safe with this repair and doesn't start having issues with belts separating and roaring like a snow tire.

I HAD MICHELIN DEFENDER 2 FOR NINE YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS SO I REPLACED THEM WITH THE SAME BRAND. I was pleased with the longevity and the ride. I live where there's lots of snow, but it doesn't stop me from driving. THE DEFENDER 2 tires plowed through without slipping or spinning I'm pleased with my purchase.

not for snow

I use these tires for Ice fishing and commuting to and from work on a 2007 dbl cab 4x4 tacoma in the colder months. They look nice have nice white letters on the side, quiet and smooth on the road. These tires come from a manufacturer that makes great tires ie. radial ta's. The bad- From day one they were dangerous in snow. The tread fill up with snow and you have slicks. So if there is any snow on the ground I am in 4 wheel drive. I get stuck in 4 inches of snow on flat asphault without 4wd often. My ABS gets a workout if there is snow. Stopping distances are really really long. Second dry rot is common on these tires in the tread area it doesn't hurt anything but cosmetically I don't like it. I have 35000 miles on them and have 1/8" tread remaining. They have worn evenly with regular rotations and dry traction remains fine. These tires would be fine in a san diego type climate.

Great Tire!

My 2008 Ford F250 Super Duty 4x4 came with tires. I love them. No road noise, consistant wear across front and rear. I have 77,000 miles on them and could do about another 3k but the treads getting to the point where off road theres little grip and I need a front end alighment. I do about half my driving as towing and most as highway or rural roads, very little city. No problem tires.

Worked great, but wore out really fast.

My 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road came with Rugged Trail T/A 265/70R16 tires. They worked really well for the first two years or so, but then started to wear down really fast. I'm at 36,000 miles and they are completely smoked. They're pretty close to the wear bar already. To be fair, I put 'em through their paces with a mixture of long highway trips and off-road fun (mostly on rocky terrain in Colorado and rock/sand in Utah).

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.
