Review summary

AI-generated from verified customer reviews.

The Federal Xplora R/T tires have received predominantly positive reviews from customers, with praise for their performance, appearance, and value.

The Federal Xplora R/T tires are generally well-received by customers, offering a good balance of off-road capability, on-road performance, and value. They are particularly praised for their aggressive looks and versatile performance in various terrains. While some users report issues with road noise, this seems to be an expected trade-off for the aggressive tread pattern. Overall, these tires appear to be a popular choice for those seeking a capable all-terrain tire at a competitive price point.

Positive highlights

Excellent off-road performance in various conditions including mud, snow, and desert terrain. Attractive and aggressive appearance. Good on-road handling and traction. Relatively quiet for an aggressive tire (though opinions vary). Great value for the price. Good tread wear and longevity reported by many users. Versatile performance in different weather conditions.

Negative highlights

A few isolated quality control issues (out-of-round tires). Mixed reviews on ice performance. Some users experienced faster tread wear than expected.

Great Tires

Got these in 35x12.5R20 put around 35k miles on them before I had to change them due to external circumstances. I rotated every 8k miles and still had 11/32 tread left. Would buy them again especially for the price. I live in Colorado and go camping and fishing in some remote areas and they did GREAT. No issues. Not much road noise.

Great A/T Tire for the price!

I will keep my review short, but these tires are great. We converted a sprinter van into a camper and installed this on it. We've put 18k miles on the van and high way driving is comfortable, but as expected they do create noise. When we get to really use the tires off-road and on service roads they really pull their weight. Only gotten stuck once with a rwd full length sprinter van. I call that a win. Treadwear after all these miles they still look very good. Haven't measured tread wear but I have seen trucks with A/T tires and they always seem to wear quick. Not these. Definitely will buy again.

Look good, handle better, wear great

Been running these tires for about 2.5 years now on my 2014 F250 super cab. After 25,000 miles they are down about half tread. Tires have been wearing smooth and even. Good durability in rough terrain. Good traction in wet and snowy conditions. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing extra traction for winter or off-road.

Bought these a year and a half ago. At first the tires were excellent. Love the aggressive look and grip was great in all conditions. Unfortunately it only took about one year (8k miles) until that grip in wet/snowy conditions went away. And tread life is horrible. Only have 13k on them and they're at half tread. Was really hoping to get 30-40k out of these but I'll be running slicks by that point. I liked the price point before prices of everything went up, but don't think I'll be running these again.

Good dry traction off and on road. On pavement very loud at low speeds and in corners. Good in loose snow, abysmal on ice/hardpack. Impressive in mud. Seem to be wearing well. Good overall value, but Ill be trying something else next. 10k so far 285/75R16

There great tires especially in winter. Just a little noisy but that's to be expected with a more aggressive tire I would definitely buy them again

I bought a set of these in size 35/12.50r20 for my Dodge Ram 2500 and they work real well when it comes to getting traction in all terrains. No issues so far and they've been on for right at 10k miles. Still have about 2/3 of tread life in them. Would recommend for a good all around tire if you want the more aggressive look for a cheaper price. They are a little noisy but I enjoy the way they sound.
