Excellent street-able mud tire, good wear if you keep them rotated and monitor pressure. They cut through deep snow like they are heated. Good self-cleaning characteristics in deep mud, like most other tires, they cake up in deep/wet heavy clay.

Note regarding other reviews: Ignore idiots that can't spell, type in all CAPS and put "C" load range tires on 3/4 & 1 ton pickups. Consider the source.

I've had multiple sets of BFG M/T on vehicles and they've never let me down. If you get stuck with these you either don't know how to drive, or were doing something stupid. If you're experiencing poor wear (and are marginally smart enough to run appropriate pressure and rotate frequently), your junk vehicle probably needs suspension work. If you like Chevy's and Goodyear M/Ts... well, I can't help you, cause you can't fix stupid.

Pros: Very good handling in snow, ice and wet roads. We drive a lot of miles on Interstate and mountain roads. Lots of snow here at 7,000 ft. Loved how they handled, my wife felt very secure in them.
Cons: Tread life is horrible. Rated at 60,000 miles, and I have to replace them already at 35,000. Gas mileage went down 4 miles per gallon vs previous tires.
Overall: Going back to the Geolanders for everyday use - got 75,000 miles out of them plus better gas mileage. Will most likely buy another set of Grabbers next winter but just for the winter as they are the best tire we've had for snow that is not a true snow tire.

Glad to see OEM on 2013 Honda Accord Sport model. They make the car well worth ride and comfort that I'm suppose to get from a new car. Unlike runflats on much more expensive Euro sedans, these tires compliment the sedan's handling. I just came off a cross country trip down along I-10 and back. Houston to Daytona Beach, back again, then up to Chicago and home to Albany, NY. Having owned 4 previous BMW's( 2-3 series, 2-5series), the Accord Sport model compared pretty well. Granted I didn't feel inspired enough to take suggested speed of 55mph, corners doing 70 mph, as I've done with the BMW's. But they are a very good to excellent tire to put on this car. Will keep you updated if and when I hit deep snow. I've the luxury of owning a Jeep Compass for really snowy roads. If your looking to get a tire that's perhaps a little pricey, they imho are worth the money. Nice job Michelin!

Great tires. Exceeded my expectations. Went through a snowstorm a couple weeks ago, 34,500 on the tires (regularly rotated). Handled great. Put the Jeep into 4 wheel drive, and where other cars and trucks were sliding backwards downhill, the Jeep slowly but surely crawled through it, with very minimal slippage. I have had lots of tires (Michelin, Goodyear, Big O), and the performance of these tires ranks with the best of them.

these tires are the best tires i have ever owned. in the past snow storm NY had, 30" of snow, these tires preformed flawlessly. i was able to get my jeep out of the driveway without shoveling, just 4WD-High and i was free and that was through 2.5' of snow. on the way to work today the roads were covered in ice and these tires gripped the ice better than any other tire i experienced.

Best set of tires for any SUV. I've installed these tires on a few vehicles I've owned (Jeep Wranger,Lincoln Aviator,Ford Escape) and have never been disapointed. If you are looking for a great replacement tire, then look no furher

Last tires were blizzacks and I was sad when they no longer made them in my jeeps size. Worried these cheaper tires would be worse but they ROCK. Just got through Blizzard nemo in ct where my city got 38" of snow. Plows were not equiped to handle this and streets were a mess...yet I was out there no matter what, even when the the state closed all roads to get supplies for an elderly neihbor. I drove mostly on at least a foot of packed snow/slush...and not only did I get through no problem, I never slid when braking or cornering...and always kept strait. In fact I never felt the limit of these tires. Of course Jeep 4x4 helps but still. Haven't gotten a chance to test on black ice yet..I assume they'll be a bit worse than a fresh set of blizzacks. My old steering seems "squishier" than ever with these tires though.

Bought these tires for my Jeep Liberty CRD. Mounted them on dedicated rims. Bought tires slightly oversized, but only by.2 inches.

Tires have a slight road noise, but to be expected with a more agressive tread. Tires were tested in the Blizzard of 2013. Tires gave me confidence that I was in control of the vehicle. I admit, I did get stuck, but only after high centering the vehicle in a 3 foot snow drift. No fault of the tires, just the driver.

I opted not to stud the tires. If I was in a location prone to more snow and ice, I may have. But, I did like the fact that these tires gave me that option.

These tires are average all season tires. I felt that for a 60,000 mile tire that I would have gotten more out of them. At 41,000 miles they have to be replaced. They wore evenly I just did not get the mileage out of them I had expected.

I wanted to love these tires but they just don't deliver for me. At my earliest chance, I am going to switch back to the Goodyear OEM tire, it was much better overall. So here is the run-down: As mentioned in other reviews, my tires are beginning to cup. I am sure that minor vibration and increased noise will only get worse. My suspension, by the way, checks fine. Fuel economy: I saw no benefit by using these tires over the OEM Goodyears at all reasonable tire pressures from 30 psi to 40 psi. Below 32psi, they are mushy, above 34psi, the ride is very harsh compared to OEM. Dry traction and handling are wonderful! Wet traction and handling is very good. Hydroplaning is average, snow traction is limited but they do OK on ice compared to OEM.

The tire was very well priced, and tread wear is normal, but they are VERY loud. One tire blowed out on my wife as she drove on the interstate. Good in snow but would not buy any more due to the noise. I have a Jeep Wrangler with large BFG Mud terrain and are much quiter than my wifes cherokee with the winter force.

Great traction on anything difficult from mud to deep snow, resists hydroplaning great though they suffer on wet pavement or ice. I would expect as much from a mud terrain tire, in mud they are king! I have switched to BFG Rugged Terrains as my switch to city life dictates, we'll see if they compare. I have actually put over 110k on these and they were still decent and many would have gone another 20k if the wife hadn't had enough of the road noise, haha. Not everyone can use the radio volume to kick that issue to the curb. I've had a budget boost on my Jeep the entire time and even with IFS and no upgraded upper control arms they still wore well, although I rotated religiously to keep wear in check with the exception of the last 10k which they really started cupping up front.
Overall a great tire that I would recommend to anyone running on mixed terrain. Mine started out over dirt roads of Nebraska and ended up in the city for that last half, worked out very well in both situations.

Tires are great in the snow only drawback is they howl on dry roads. So loud it sounds like a bad bearing. Wore these out after 50000 miles and went to Dunlops no more road howl

Bought these tires for my daughter's Jeep Grand Cherokee. We live in Houston so we have not had a chance to drive in snow or ice but these tires have been great in wet and dry conditions. They have held up very well and have kept my daughter on the road and under control at all times. She has rotated the tires consistently and I see no reason why we cannot reach the warranty limits (50,000 miles). I would not hesitate buying another set for her or any of my other SUVs.

This is an amazing tire. I've had them on my Jeep for a couple years now and I love them. They're fairly aggressive and will go wherever you want. They're great in snow. I like them because they're big tires, but not so big and aggressive that they're ridiculous and impractical. I'm not buying a 5th tire to stick on the back of my jeep. I will definitely buy these tires again when I need a new set of tires, but the tread is lasting a long time, so it may be awhile.

These are OE tires and quite amazing. I've used them at off road parks climbing muddy rocky hills and very rough trails. They do great - really great. Even in deep mud they pull me through. What is surprising is how quiet they are considering how aggressive the tread is. They do get a little louder as they wear down. I've climbed Mt Autero and other mountains in Colorado and these tires never flinched. If you know Mt Autero - the first mile or so is heavy rock and very punishing! I have about 20K on this set of four. They are worn some and have small nicks and cuts on the tread, but never a flat or a bead break. Great Tires, I'll be buying these again.

These were the OE tires on my Jeep Patriot. I just took them off today to go to larger tires with a more aggressive tread. Overall for an OE passenger car class tire, on a 4WD suv/cuv, they performed very well( even in the snow ). While they would not have been my 1st choice of tire for the vehicle, and many people beat them up, they were much better than I expected. I drove in a few really bad snow storms and never had a problem with them although that may have been more a credit to the 4WD system in the Jeep than the tires? Still, they didn't hurt me in anyway. Only real complaint would be they seemed to be loud on certain rode types. Other road types very quiet. Other than that not a bad car tire. Just not really an appropriate tire for a 4WD suv/cuv IMO. New tread was 11/32 and when measured today they all had 8/32 left( very even wear ).

I also have a set of these tires on an F-150, I have been very happy with this A/T tire. It’s smooth, quiet and responsive on the highway, and they have performed well in the rain and snow as well as the dirt.
