I don't have these tires, but I do like the looks of the Mud Country's tread for a DD and trail tire.

I did lots of research on those tires and the Trxus AT's. I grabbed the Trxus because I do lots of sand driving and no mudding and am happy with the ones I picked. My next tire will be the DC Crusher even though the Trxus are much wider...Tj

Dick Cepek and Mickey Thompson arent to great, there are much better for the same price and less.

Treadwear is absolutely terrible with them.

I don't know if you are JUST talking about treadwear but fourwheeler magazine sure likes them.

If you want the best for your money get Treadwrights.

Had them already. They are not that wide of a tire. I got the 31/10.5/15's and they only measured 8 inches wide on 8x15 rims.
The Trxus 31/11.5/15's measure 31.9/12/15..Tj

You're talking about the Treadwrights? I have two sets, they both seem to be the right size. The 10.5 isn't the tread width per say anyway.
