Default BFG T/A KOs in mud

Ok, I live in south Louisiana and we never get snow here and there really aren't any trails to ride so the only real wheeling I do is in the mud.

I've read a lot of reviews on the BFG T/A KO tires and they all say great things about how they handle in the snow and on trails but I haven't found any dealing with how they perform in the mud.

I know these aren't mud specific tires so I know I'm not going to get that level of performance but I'm looking for something with a little bit longer tread life and something thats quieter than M/Ts. That brought me to the T/As.

So my question is: Does anyone know if they handle well in the mud? If not, anyone know any good T/As or even M/Ts with a decent tread life that perform decently in the mud?

They're great on dirt, snow and the rocks. They dont clear mud very well and turn into racing slicks.

Look at BFG's M/T and Dunlop Mud Rover's if you want a good mud tire that will last awhile on the road also.
