Of all the mud tires ever made,these were the Granddaddy of them all. Back in the 70's in Mississippi,If you didn't have these tires you were not a real offroader.From the swamps in the south,the red clay in the middle,and the black gumbo goo in the north,Mississippi has it all.No mudd wheelin' person worth his salt would go nowhere without a set of these tires on their vehicles.4x4's,2 whl drives, heck I even seen them on VW bugs.They were TOO good and that is what caused their downfall into history.R.I.P real mud tires!

Pros:

On a good truck you will go anywhere. Look mean! Sound mean! And wont dig holes. Great for a lot of conditions.
|
Cons:
|
They don't look fancy on a corvette.

I use my truck as a tool. I don't get days off because it rains.
I play with my truck. So when it rains i like to go play in the mud.
I have a 79 - 85 f250ish frankenstine. Has a 300 straight 6, very low geared transmission, and a transfer-case and heavy lock in axles and diff's. Which are worthless if you dig holes and have no traction.
I have had the old co-op grip spur's for years and now the new buckshots. The originals.
The tire treads are non-directional center strips keep the center of the tires from digging. The shoulder lugs bite the mud on the sides and paddle. I have had mud coned 2feet on the rims. I have crawled thru mud up hills and controlled down hills.
On the road. The tires need time to warm up. They need balanced. The more they wear you need to add a bit more weight. If you are looking for a tire on your family SUV or your over compensation truck; and drive on the road 99% of the time. I suggest you get Bridgestone hooks. But if you play often, and off road often and don't use your truck for long family trips. You should buy these tires. They wear good. Rotate often and balance and don't be a drag racer. And put slime in them. They will be the best tire you will ever own and you will be happy with the money well spent.
170$ a tire from yournexttire.com in firth Nebraska
Compared to 250~more for other tires that will dig holes and leave you stuck.
Thats my opinion.
CO-OP started it; and might have gone out of business. But Gateway realized the quality and are trying to keep it alive against companies that constantly try to squash the smaller guys. Especially when they have a better product.

I've ran these tires on everything from a old 1948 willys pickup in a 7.50 16 to now my 97 grand Cherokee and my 93 Toyota in a p78/16 same as a 33 10.50 16..so far they have been unstopable in anything short of trying to use the truck as a submarine. LoL..I saw some people think that since maxis is calling their version of a buckshot mudder the same tire but they don't even compare and never will.the old school buckshots are simply hands down the best mud tire out there and all I will ever use on my off road vehicles... And yes they are still available just google up buckshot wide mudder.they are all over ebay. ? Hope the post helps some of you make up your mind about these tires..try um and you'll likeum..
