You said mud, so honestly the km2's and the duratracs are horrid in the mud.

You really need a good MT tire in my opinion. I know what is popular on here. But what works is often another story.

I have to agree with holycaveman. Only problem is if it's a daily driver MT tires are a bit of a pain in the ... Also this may sound crazy but always check Walmart when your shopping for tires, the red letter Generals are $3 more at Walmart but you get free shipping to the store (TireRack charges over $100)

Yes thats true. I forgot to mention it because performance to me is number one.

If I get a year out of the tires then great, as long as they do what I want them to.



I hate having a tire that doesn't work in the terrain I run. So I will take a cut in mileage to be able to go places without pulling cable. But that is me.
