Interco TrXus Mud Terrain
The TrXus Mud Terrain tire is Interco Tire Corporations Mud terrain tire that competes directly with other popular Mud terrain tires like the BFGoodrich MT T/A KM which attempt to give the consumer a mud terrain performance while behaving well on the street. As with the other Interco tires, the TrXus excels in their design. First the TrXus uses the three stage lug design which has proved itself impressively in not only mud but also on the rocks, in deep snow, on loose grainy terrain and on the changing wooded trails. Down the center of the TrXus are a variation on Intercos two center row design of alternating "v" shaped lugs, which incorporate sipes that allow the tire to grip not just on the rocks but better on wet roads and in icy conditions than typical mud terrain tires would. The center lugs as well as parts of the outer lugs incorporate a "stepped" design that allows better release of mud and debris for better self cleaning as the wheel rotates around through the terrain. Sidewalls are protected by a supplemental tread design that not only servers to reduce sidewall damage but also assists with finding grip. The TrXus is available in both Bias and Radial designs. The for users who are looking for a good Mud Terrain that also drive well on the road, the Radial design is the tire you will want where on road handling is better than you might expect. Sizes available up to 38" with plys ranging 6 and 8 on the Radials and 8 and 10 in the Bias Plys.
Manufacturers description of this tire:
TrXus Mud Terrain
The NEW TrXus Mud Terrain is INTERCO'S answer to the need of those who want a smooth, super quiet ride with tough, thick sidewalls with a chip and cut resistant compound. This tire has more siping than any other mud terrain on the market; which has proven to be almost magical in icy snowy conditions. These same traction features make this tire a serious rock climber.
Each TrXus Mud Terrain tire has its individual specifications and is heavier than the original equipment tires of comparable size. Many brands of tires are made from generic specifications which means there are many "brand names" coming out of a particular factory but all the tires have a common specification basic body or casing. The only difference is the mold the tire is cured in. The tires will have different tread designs but the body of the tire is common to many others of the same size but under various names.

HORRIBLE bounce at 35mph
|
|
Puchased five 10.50x31 TrXus MTs from Discount Tire and mounted them on my 2002 Jeep Wrangler. I had high hopes for these tires, and I loved the way they looked. However, there was a HORRIBLE bounce at 35mph and higher, and they were UNSAFE at speeds above 50mph.
DT says they have trouble with this particular tire all the time. So, why do they continue to order and sell them?... It took several visits to DT and two calls to their corporate office to get them to admit the tires were defective with greater than 60 pounds of radial runout on four of the five tires. Then it took more arguing and threatening to get the television news team out there before they finally took the tires back with less than 500 miles on them.
The DT manager kept telling me it was normal for big tires like this to bounce completely off the roadway at 50mph. 31 inch is Big?!? Hmmm... I don't seem to recall having that problem with a set of 35 inch Super Swampers a few years ago.
I doubt I will buy from DT again, and I certainly will not buy another set of TrXus MTs. Too bad, because they sure looked good on the Jeep. BTW, the DT staff now runs out to meet me in the parking lot when I come in to have the tires rotated. I guess they got tired of me talking to other customers. ;o)
Bottom line... Don't buy the TrXus MT for anything on-road. However, if you trailer your rig to the trail, the TrXus MT is a very good rock tire.
Maybe quality would improve if Interco would move the TrXus MT production from Mexico back to the United States. Meanwhile, I am very happy with the BFG MTs I purchased to replace the TrXus MTs.

WATCH OUT FOR METRIC SIZES!!!
|

WATCH OUT FOR METRIC SIZES!!! Started out with 265/75-16. Cracked ALL of my stock rims (Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins). One in 13 different places. Sidewall blowout while towing a trailer full of quads and bed full of bikes (@50mph)not fun! Interco replaced all 5 tires with 33x12.5-16 No issues (M/T Rims) for the life of the new floatation tires (33k miles).

NOT for street use. These tires do NOT balance well, they take a lot of weight. Also have "run out" when mounted. I have tried 2 different sets of wheels. Would not recommend them for a light vehicle like a jeep or Toyota. One of the worst tires that I have tested on road. Do fair offroad.

These tires really kick butt on my 1986 mint Toyota 4x4. I have ran the TSL swampers and boggers and know this tire isnt as good in the mud but very close. The TSL's and boggers sucked on the street, vibrated badly and hummed very loud. These are smooth with very little noise, even my wife didnt complain about the ride untill I brought her off roading and put the truck on its side! I highly recommend these tires, they kick ass!

6000 miles they have multiple belt separation. Interco doesn't believe me
|
|
I've had these tires for almost 2 years now. The problem is that I've gone through 2 sets of these tires in a 34x12.50R16 format in the 2 years. My first set were great they stood up to the test on wet roads in heavy rain, they did hydroplane a bit, but was able to regain control. They did great in the Mud, shallow and deep thick clay type mud. I didn't have enough snow to play in over the past 2 years, but in the foot or 2 that we had, they proved themselves great in that. And rockcrawling they seem to do better than BFG and GY that my friends had.
The tires are rated for 25000 miles, my first set barely lasted 15000. At 13000 the tires had very little tread at all, by the time Interco agreed that they were defective and sent me another set, two of the tires were completely bald, and only one of them still had some tread left. My second set seemed to last a lot better than the first, I rotated them regularly, balanced them, and got an alignment on regluar basis. Now they developed their own problem. At only 6000 miles they have multiple belt separation. Interco doesn't believe me, but they'll refund me what I paid for them. And I plan to buy some ProComp MTs.
I will recommend these tires as long as you don't plan to do much highway driving. I believe that I was just unlucky enough to get 2 bad sets of tires. But they were great while they lasted, as long as you maintain them.

Over the past two sets of TrXus MTs, I have driven over 40,000 miles on both sets. 36,000 mi. on one set, and around 5,000 mi. on my new set. In between sets, I tried out both the BFGoodrich All-Terrain and Mud-Terrain tires on my '03 Rubicon, and I simply was not as pleased as with the TrXus MT. While the AT/KM provided a superior ride and handling on the street, off the road traction was completely diminished in comparison to the TrXus MT. At speeds above 40 m.p.h. on dirt and sand-covered roads down in Baja, Mexico - the TrXus MT excels. The MT/KMs allowed my short-wheelbase Jeep to handle "squirrely", not providing the level of confidence that I had with the TrXus MTs. Another confidence builder are the stronger sidewalls on the TrXus MTs. While I blew a sidewall on a relatively easy trail outside of Joshua Tree National Park with the BFG MT/KMs, regular jaunts in this same region have yet to blow out a sidewall on the TrXus MT.
When on the street with the BFG MT/KMs, the high-pitched squeal was enough to force me to not take the top off of the Jeep, but with the TrXus MTs, the noise from these tires is not nearly as bad as from the brand-new set of Mud-Terrain KMs. Also, the ride of the Mud-Terrain KMs were enough to drive me crazy during my commute. With the TrXus MTs, I am treated with a softer, more comfortable ride - whether its on concrete or asphalt.
I am completely satisfied with the TrXus MTs with regard to performance on the trail, price, durability, and longetivity on the street. These tires are my favorites!

i am highly disapointed with these tires
|
|
i bought these tires for my 3\4 ton due to the 10 ply rating, i figured they would be great for my job being in construction, but because i am often towing a trailer and do mostly street driving, i only have 12 000 km on these tires and am already down to 50% tread. i am highly disapointed with these tires, once they wear a bit the siping is useless and street driving becomes scary unless its 100% dry. i am pulling these tires off my truck before winter cause i am actually worried i would rearend someone. they look awesome and perform amazing in mud. but as far as street use and stuff. you midaswell buy a swamper tire.

The perfect all round tire for a Jeep Wrangler.

I've had these tires on my daily driver ('03TJ)for a whole year and I found these tires to be an awesome all round tire...they are very quiet on the road (not that that matters to me) smooth and quite light...In the winter I found these to be the best M/T that I have driven with on the snow and ice...
On rock I find them amazing at about 8-10 lbs of air...
In mud they are fair...If you are looking for a mud tire, there are many out there that are better then the TrXus M/T's but if you're looking for one of the best all round tires, then I highly recommend these...
As for standing up to punishment...I wheel hard and quite often through clear cut areas where there are plenty of "tire getchas" and have yet to puncture a sidewall...there are plenty of cuts and gouges but they have never let me down...
