Best Mud Tire
 
I own a 2001 f150 fx4 with 32" BFG km2's but I am putting a 4.5" suspension lift so I want 35" tires to wrap around 20" rims. But I am having trouble finding a good-looking, aggressive tire that will pull decent in mud, yet durable enough to truly last the 40k most mud terrains claim to last but rarely hold up to.
I have looked at nitto mud grapplers, toyo m/t's, ss m16's, ss irok's, baja's, and so on... still not sure on a final decision...
What is, in your opinion, the most aggressive yet durable mud tire out there?

km2's as far as durability/treadlife. Also i hear ppl get great life from the toyo M/T's. Also the prolly have more of a wider variety of sizes with a 20" rim i'm guessing. They(toyo) look good on big wheels imo

Toyo MT or KM2's are your best bet.

I love my toyos

Ok well for an actual mud tire id go with Mud Grapplers. But for road life then dont get the Mud Grapplers. I got about 35k out of mine though although others havent been so lucky to get that much outta them

I dont really want that much mileage out of a tire, i dont know about anyone else, but i get bored with the same tire when they last 50k miles. I know as far as money goes thats important, but i dont know. When i get to it....mud graps for me.....Terras are boring!

If you want an MT that can go 50-60k miles with mostly highway driving get the Toyo's. If you want a serious tire for a lot of mudding look at the Interco's but expect around 30-40k miles max.

Trail Grapplers just got mine on and love them so far

I like the DC Mud Country's. Good road manners and great mud performance.

have you considered Kumho's mud terrain they have gotten really good reviews i believe they are going to be my next set and the are cheaper than the others.

i got about 60k on my old Hankook Dynapro RT03's.....didn't do much muddin but they were great on every surface i had them on.

^Really?? They look pretty good too..

I'm pretty fond of my Wrangler MT/Rs with kevlar. I don't really know about wear because I don't know how many miles they have on them, because I got them slightly used, but they are great in the mud, and they have worn pretty good so far. (And I spin my tires a lot lol). I am either buying these again, or kuhmo MTs

Have you looked at the Nitto Trail Grapplers at all? I've read good things about wear, noise and off road ability. Seems comparable to the Toyo's but for cheaper.

I've got the trail graps on my truck now and I love them, the noise isn't bad at all for a m/t and they feel great on every surface i've had them on so far

BFG KM2, Toyo M/T, or Nitto Trail Grappler.

Currently have a pinch over 20,000 miles on my Toyo M/Ts looking just past 1/4 of tread life gone. LOVE them. Suck in snow and rain but still a great tire.
