Mud Tires

[seawizard]

What brand of off-roading tires do you prefer? Nitto or Mickey Thompson Tires? I am torn between the Mud Grappler Tires and the Baja Claw Tires.

Nitro mud grappler, aggressive for mud. What is your engine size and tranny and what size tire are you thinking?

BF Goodrich.....oh wait that was not one of the choices was it?

I looked too.

I know this isn't one of the choices, but I really like the General Grabber X3's. I was running the BF Goodrich KM2's, but switched. The X3's work really well - I even run them on my truck.

What is this "mud" you speak of?? I am not familiar with the term.

I run Desert Track tires with the squares in the middle on both my Honda Pilot and my blue buggy. Good for sand if you run 6#s of pressure. More the grip in the sand isn't as good and at 4#s they leak at the seals. I have to run on asphalt for about 1/2 mile to enter the dunes which is hard on the paddles breaking them down/splitting the paddles off the tire.

For what it is worth.

Cross the pond, I'll show you some



I don't know if you can get them over there but here we run Fedima's - they use the geolander pattern but make them in 4 different compounds (one hard road, then 3 competition compounds) - the softer competition ones are a great option for lightweight rails and baja's.

Cool pic, love it.

I am used to my terrain looking like this.

I have Dick Cepecks. I chose them because their weight less than the popular brands. I don't know how they perform since I am in the middle of an engine overhaul.

What tires work "best" depends dramatically on where you are using them. Chuckput shows his local extreme. MY experience in that neighborhood is that when it DOES get wet...most of that stuff gets slicker than fresh snot on a glass door knob. Then it turns into concrete when it dries. But the OP didn't tell anybody where he's at, or where he's going offroad. We can probably assume that he's talking about using them on a VW-based 2WD offroad vehicle, and said "mud". That's about ALL we know.
