Yupp, and from what I've heard they suck *** in the mud, don't clean out like a proper mud tire should, not that I'd expect them to, they are a crawling tire after all.

Oh me either, I vow to never take any other vehicle mudding like I have with this XJ. She'll still see mud occasionally, but nowhere near as much as she did the past 9 months. All mud ever does is get in ****, break **** and generally **** up everything at the worst time possible. The fun isn't worth the hassle, I'd rather break **** in the rocks

the new kevlar mtr's are great in the mud. in PNW there are a TON of guys running the new mtr. i have seen with my own eyes that they are well worth the cost. i have the km2 and they sucked in the mud. New MTR ftw!

i run a TSL Radial. If you live in really wet conditions the SSR Might be more fitting.

I am happy with me TSL Radials, even in wet weather. No issues on or off road. Tough little buggers I run mainly rocks, some mud and when its mud its the thick clay stuff most of the time
