You are correct. Thorn Turds suck off road. They look really agressive from the side and they have no lugs on the face so they are quiet on the road. They are great for a street cruiser / show truck.

They will suck just as bad in sand as they do in mud or snow. The sidewalls don't flex very well, the same as all bias ply tires.

My sidewalls flex like a drag tire and they're bias but I also run single digits.

We sell a lot at the store from 235/75/15's all the way up to the rednecks wanting 37's
Guess I'm one of the "rednecks" since I run 38s and have gone as big as 44s.

You're right, I should have stated that they don't flex as well as a radial tire, unless they are aired down really low, as in single digits.

I've had good experience with Treadwright's Guard Dog tread in mud. I like their Puma for an all-terrain tire.
