like what kind of mud, where?
are you looking for a competition tire or a street 90% of the time tire (lets face it our jeeps spend lots of time on the pavement, even if we try our hardest not to)

What type of terrain do you run the most? Where do you live? Are you looking for an aggressive tire or a less aggressive tire? I run general grabber red labels and I run mostly dirt sand mud and rocks. I used to have duratracs but since it never snows here I switched to my current ones. Now get ready for everyone to tell you a different tire

im in az also. how do you like the grabbers. like overall for what we see here.
im thinking 33x10.50-15 grabbers next time around.
how about tread life.
i would guess right now not knowing anything about you or where you wheel her in az, i would say i probably maybe find 10% more mud than you do, but nothing to scare me. im up in the high country (prescott) but i also find plenty of high desert conditions.

I live right next to two farms, a rock quarry and a sometimes running river so I doubt you see more mud than me. But the grabbers are awesome. I've had them in every terrain but ice and snow and they have performed flawlessly. I have yet to be stuck in mud and I run through some pretty deep stuff. Sometimes slick mud too. I have about 12k miles on them so far and they are still like new. I would purchase another set in a heart beat. I paid $888 out the door with warranties and I'm running 265/75/16 tires which are about a 32. If you want to run 33s, look up the metric equivalent. They're usually a lot cheaper. My only complaint about them is the red letters are glued on so with as much as I rock crawl, the letters are starting to peel.

i think someone told me, if your runnin a xj in jeep speed you are going to be running a 33x10.50 grabber because its like the sponsored tire or something
im going to stick with 15" for as long as possible, they don't make a metric size on a 15' rim at all.
my km2 is about at half. 2 years old. wasn't really expecting much life, but i think im going for the grabbers next. mabey early and try to sell these tires.

Go for it man. I have no complaints and would recommend them to anyone. Hopefully it snows soon on the mountains so I can go test my tires in deep snow and on ice
