Review of
the 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.

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.

| I
am using this tire as an
all around tire on my F350
4X4, as it has been
advertised as an
exceptional all around
tire. It handles good on
slow off road conditions,
but it is wildly unsafe at
highway speeds under load,
even when properly
inflated. I believe this
tire is highly overrated
as a Load Range E tire in
the 285/75R16. I have had
two major sidewall
blowouts with this tire at
highway speed and it is
squirmy and very unstable
when loaded. Both times
were near death
experiences at 60 and 70
MPH. I would not recommend
this tire to anyone who
plans to use it on the
highway under a loaded
truck.

| I
ran these tires on my 1999
Chevy Tahoe (2657516).
They were great off road
and dirt road. My commute
is mostly highway. I had a
severe sidewall blow out
on a rear tire. Fine for
lighter vehicles and
mainly off road use. Would
by the SSR in place of
this one.

| i put these
tires on a 83 ford f-150
about 5 years ago when
they first came out, mine
are 35-12.50 , tires have
been exactly as advertised
, they have performed
great for a mud tire on
and off road and even as
good in the wv snow. id
recommend these tires to
anyone looking for a
little less hard core mud
tire that's fine for the
street.

Don't buy
the belted tire if you plan
to drive it on the street!
I have suffered with mine
for about a year now. Today
I am going to go buy a
different manufacturers
tire. My Jeep has been
almost undrivable for the
past year, the only good
thing I can say is my wife
has not borrowed my Jeep
since the TRX's were put on.
She is terrified of it...

This tire
is ok but not as advertised.
It does pretty good in most
terrains, but not very good
in the mud, they tend to gum
up a lot. Also they did not
handle the road well, and I
had a blowout at highway
speed. I do use my truck
on/off road and that's not a
good idea with these.

I think
this is a great snow/rock
tire. The side wall seems
thicker than the BFG 3 ply
"tri-guard". All around
offroad performance is
awesome! And it looks great.
I recommend this tire even
for the weekend warrior.
Decent road manners, but
when was the last time you
got stuck on dry pavement?
