If you're looking for long tread life, an M/T isn't the tire for you LOL.

I have the Nitto Mud Grapplers, and they perform really well in all conditions. I guesstimate that I'll get around 40k miles out of them

to be honest! if you have the extra cash when you wanna purchase your next set of tires, i would go with the Nitto Trail Grapplers ....thats my next tire! buddy of mine has them on his 04 and they crawl good in the mud and don't get caked that easily!

BFG KM2's /thread

Ive heard of em going 60-70k. theyre a harder compound than most, for example, the nitto mud grapp is excellent in off road conditions and probably on road too, but with it having a very soft compound it will wear a lot faster too. my procomp A/Ts are extremely hard,, to the fact where i have to run a lot lower psi to get em to run right.

It's only an approximation... who knows lol. I'm really happy with these tires though. They balance really well, and have been wearing perfectly even.

Like I said, they perform well in all conditions. They are pretty loud at higher speeds, but it's a true MT... what else do you expect? One of the most aggressive looking tires out there as well.

Nitto Trails are the only MT I've ever driven on but I love them so far. Just went out today and got good n' dirty. Performed great in some thick mud. Not looking forward to the short tread life/replacement but that's what you get for buying MTs

The BFG KM2's or the Maxxis Mudder Buckshot, they clean out really good in the mud, and last awhile on the street. The Dick Cepek Mud Country is a great mud tire as well, on and off road.


Do NOT get the Boggers, they dont clean out for nothin unless you have high horsepower that can spin them quick enough.
