The Blackhawk Ridgecrawler RT receives a mixed reception from users, offering an affordable rugged-terrain option with solid performance in rain, snow, and mud, but drawing heavy criticism for rapid tread wear, excessive road noise, and high-speed vibrations. While some light-duty truck and SUV owners praise their value and winter capabilities, heavy-duty truck owners and towers report significant issues with sidewall flex, balancing difficulties, and poor longevity.
What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
24/100From 9 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Blackhawk Ridgecrawler RT receives a mixed reception from users, offering an affordable rugged-terrain option with solid performance in rain, snow, and mud, but drawing heavy criticism for rapid tread wear, excessive road noise, and high-speed vibrations. While some light-duty truck and SUV owners praise their value and winter capabilities, heavy-duty truck owners and towers report significant issues with sidewall flex, balancing difficulties, and poor longevity.
Pros
- Excellent traction in rain, deep snow, and mud
- Affordable price point offering great budget value
- Aggressive and visually appealing look on trucks
- Relatively comfortable ride quality at moderate speeds
Cons
- Rapid and premature tread wear
- Excessively loud road noise
- High-speed vibrations and shaking, particularly above 70 mph
- Subpar dry traction and noticeable sidewall flex under load
Worth knowing
- Users with heavy-duty trucks like the Ford F-250 Super Duty reported dangerous sidewall flex and unsuitability for heavy towing or high-payload applications.
- Drivers towing trailers or utilizing heavy trucks noted rapid tread wear, estimating a maximum lifespan of 20,000 to 25,000 miles.
- Owners running larger sizes, such as 37x12.5R18 on light-duty trucks like the F-150, reported a surprisingly comfortable ride and good initial durability.
