you will be extremely satisfied. I've had mine for about 6,000 miles now. In 4 inches of snow I was passing cars doing 45-50MPH when they were CRAWLING. I never ever lost traction unless I was stomping it. Even in heavy downpour, I drive as if I would on dry roads and dont think twice.

I know they, BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A's, get a decent rating by many here but they got a below average rating on the ConsumerReports webpage. . . right along side the Goodyear Wrangler AT/S.


Their "rolling resistance" and "cornering" numbers were terrible. Their "braking, emergency handling, snow traction and steering feel" were average.

The Goodyear's are [a lot] worse.

The Nitto Terra Grappler AT's were head-n-shoulders above the rest. The Toyo Open Country A/T's also rated above average.

Before I decided to get new shoes for my truck, I seriously considered put on the BFG's 33's on the OEM's but those rating figures turned me off them.

The BFG Rugged Trail T/A is a crappy OE quality tire. The All-Terrain is an very good aftermarket tire. I have them on two trucks right now and love them. Had the Rugged Trails on the F150 from the factory... sucked! Could not wait to lose them.

The BFG All-terrain is an excellent tire. I live in Wisconsin where we have every different type of weather and they perform great in all of them!

That's a serious apples and oranges there....

The rugged terrain and the all-terrain are COMPLETELY different tires. Like others mentioned, the RT tire is a cheap OE tire, but AT is a legendary, long-lasting, and very versatile tire.
