Default Treadwright MUD tires?

https://www.treadwright.com/p-4-30-9-50r15-mud.aspx
Has anyone heard or used these tires? They look like a copy of mud swampers. I would like to get 30's on my jeep to replace my goodyear rt/s 29's. Looking for a good tire off road that won't kill the mpgs

Lots of people run them but make sure it's legal to run retreads in your state.

I have a set on my xj...they came on it when I bought it but I am getting used to them. One bad thing is they are LOUD. And I wouldn't recommend airing them down. I haven't had a bad experience with this I just wouldn't trust it. Make sure retreads are legal in your state also..good luck

i run a set of 32 howler retreads from them and have nothing bad to say about them. they are loud but i have had worse on my xj. i can still hear the radio. they air down just fine and run high way speeds just as well. just shop around and you may find some prices the same as some retreads.

Then has anyone run the mud swampers that are the same style? Mostly looking towards how this tread design is with road conditions as well as off. I know that treadwright is an amazing dealer since I have heard many good things but am mostly curious about this tread. This is the other tread that came up for the size I would like but i don't think it would be as effective as the other in snow/mud/water https://www.treadwright.com/p-6-30-9-50r15-puma.aspx

X2 I have 32's. I beat the **** out of them and have no complaints at all. They are cheap and reliable

Those will be better in snow than the mud ones.

Well i only experience snow a couple times here in central new jersey and when if i plan on putting these on it will be in the summer so mostly road and dirt/mud conditions and plus I love the aggressiveness that they have. The puma's looks like a knock off version of bfgoodrich a/t and as everyone knows they aren't the most reliable tire when it comes to mud

you gotta call and check. when I ordered my 315's for my truck, the site said 8 weeks of backorder, so I called them and they told me about 3 weeks. 3 weeks later they billed my debit card and shipped them out
