How Good or Bad are the BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A Tires?

just curious how you guys and gals with the second generation TRD off road tacomas liked or did not like the BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A Tires (265/70/R16) that came on your trucks from the factory, thanks!

 

C'mon guys answer this man. I have the same question about the same tire. btw dude. Are you ok man Did sandy do any harm to you?

 

IMO I think they should come with the all-terrain tires. It seems like they up the fj's way more than the Tacomas.

 

Honestly, it depends on what you plan on using them for. As a street tire...they're fine, except in the rain they're pretty crappy, offroad use just sucks IMO

 

I dont have any personal experience with them, but I've heard several people refer to them as "rugged fails".

 

I don't have issues with them, but I will be getting all-seasons next time.

 

There is a reason people call them rugged fails....

Try and search around for some more verification, many people upgrade from those with much haste heh

 

they are the suck

I mean

THEY ARE THE SUCK

they arent a dedicated road tire, so their onroad grip sucks.
They arent a A/T offroad tire, so their offroad grip sucks.

theyre right in the middle of sucking at both.

hey man thanks for askin how i was, yes, i made out alright, my father-inlaws repair shop got flooded out again and there was no power in my town for days, just recently got it back, and many around me still dont have power, there are gas lines miles long , literally dozen of trees down in my area, on roads peoples houses etc. its crazy... and now we got another noreaster bearing down on us... but all i can do is hope for the best, repair crews are there busting their asses everyday out here, my heart goes out to everyone helpin out and goin throught hardships right now.. and thank you again man for asking, it means alot

 

I agree, seems like the FJ's got the hook up. TRD OR's should have come with BFG All Terrains.

When I was picking up my truck from the dealer the other day I noticed a brand new TRD Tacoma and it had "BFG Rugged Terrains". I guess thats the new version. They definitly look better, Im sure they do about the same offroad though.

 

there's a reason we call them rugged fails

 

CLASSIC!

 

Garbage! Everytime I go to my truck I just want to slash my own tires. Off road truck you say? well, where the hell are my off road tires at, huh?!?! I'll tell ya where they aren't....they aren't ON MY TRUCK!

 

I cant complain, it depends on what your using them for. I do some mild offroading to get where we ride and its deep sugar sand and never have had a problem, also navigated heavy rain and the hurricane with them just fine, we will see for winter. They beat the hell out of what toyota used to put on them, those crappy dunlops. I would say they're a decent tire for factory equipped, if your looking to do some decent offroading then get the KO's which the Baja's and FJ's have. But no sense in replacing perfectly fine tires unless you have a need/justification for different ones, besides "rugged fails" hear say.

 

All this info is good - just got my 2009 Tacoma and of course it came with those tires. I was wondering if they were actually any good because there are a few light off road places around here.

 

It depends on how the tires are used. As either an off-road or street tire exclusively, they're not so hot. However, as a decent street tire with decent off-road performance, they're not bad at all. Certainly can't say how they compare to every tire out there today, but they're better than most of the all-terrains I've owned in the past.

 

I got those tires off as fast as I could. After 20,000 miles they were just plain dangerous in the rain.

 

Going to replace and sell mine before they get too many miles on them. Just can't decide on Duratrac or KO.

Ran KO's on my previous GM and had no issues, but I don't shop around a lot.
