Mud Tires for SUV, Light Truck and Modified 4x4 Vehicles
 Mud Tires - MUD TIRES or MT are as you might have gathered from the name, designed to perform most specifically in the
mud. But when you look at the tread design of many mud tires, they generally perform well in other conditions such as on the rocks, in deeper snow, as well as in loose gravel and in the softer, constantly changing terrain of
the wooded trails.
This is because mud tires are usually designed from a softer compound with wider
gaps between large lugs, which grab onto anything it can hook one of its lug edges
around. They are especially effective when aired down. MT tread designs typically are what make
or break a mud tire and vary widely from manufacturer to manufacturer. Drawbacks of the MT Mud Terrain tire
are they perform poorly on the highway especially in the rain where the wide lug
pattern results in less of a tire footprint on the road. Even worse, the MT can be downright dangerous in icy conditions.
Mud tires also tend to wear quicker than an all terrain or a street tire and
depending on your perspective, the on-highway noise level can be undesirable as
it typically considerably
higher especially after they wear down with highway use.
