I've had the original "Super Swampers" which I'll clasify as all out mudder and Good Year all terrains through the years. I would say the Buckshots (LT285/70R16's)on my 2006 Chevy 4wd. Crew Cab are a very good compromise between the two. Great traction in slick muddy conditions and do well in modertely deep ruts. No snow or ice experience with them yet. On the highway I notice a slight swimmy feel when into curves with these tires and this may take some folks a little getting used to. Only light road noise compaired to all out mudders. If you are looking for a great middle ground between all out mudders and everyday all terrains. This is a good tire. Real experience...Expect to get around 30,000 miles under ideal conditions...rotating/chk balance every 5,000 with good front end. They will go 40,000 but due to more wear you loose sipping and risk hydroplain. I wouldn't reccomend pushing it for highway use after they get to that point.

I have this in the front of my discovery. it works two fold, as mine is permanent 4wd with a lift it keeps the steering tighter with a lift. This is because i have not corrected the angles on the caster, and the diff gears make the front end heavier. I am running 32's and plan to jump to 35's so we'll see if they hold up to larger tires although eaton says its no good. I have had this front true trac for 5 years and very pleased. Would have to be shown up off road to change it to arb, and even then might not due to complexity of that setup. just drop in and go. cant beat it

Had this in the rear of my land rover discovery for about 7 years. What a diff. no need to activate but did have to upgrade to better shafts, but would have done that no matter what. Unit does disengage louder now but not too much. I would buy this as a rear diff on any vehicle used off road. As for a front i've never used it, i use a true trac, and i love that as well. over all i would buy any eaton product

I have a set of 33x12.50xr15 on my ranger. They exceeded my expectations in the snow and mud. I haven't taken them in the sand, and don't plan on it. They are mud tires, not sand tires. Also, I believe they improved the ride in my truck on pavement.

I am comparing these tires to the Goodyear Wrangler and Bridgestone Dueler's. I would recommend the Hankook Dynapro MT tires over both of the above. They have about the same amount of noise as compared to the above tires. They are excellent when run on dry and wet roads. I have had no problems with them handling the city snow or the deep snow in the mountainous trials of Colorado. The only drawback I had with them was driving on ice along I-25. They seemed to not have the grip like the previous tires. Therefore, I used a siping tool and siped each of the tires. After doing this they handled just fine in all situations. I definitly will stay loyal to this tire and recommend it to anyone and everyone as long as Hankook keeps making the tire.

Bought 5 33x12.50 R15 Swampers for a 89 Dodge Raider, good traction on trails, it's 1" sidewall handles abuse well, thread design cleans mud fast and sends it flying, works on loose sand but you have to lower your pressure to 8 PSI and use 4WD or they dig easy, great performance on silt powder even in 2WD leaving a dust cloud behind you, for street and road they are heavy and you must be careful on wet pavement, it's thread is tough, got a 3/4" nail pinch and simply pull it out with pliers with no patching needed.
