Im in a tire debate. I have been running thebgeneral grabber red letter tires for a while now and absolutely love there offroad traction until it comes to anything muddy. Once they get a little mud on them they are slick. So that being said ive been going back and forth between the trepador tire, grabber x3, and the truxus mt. What do yall think

My vote is Pro comp pretty much any of the swamper line for only mud or milestar patagonia mt if you want to go through mud and still have a nice ride home. Might help to know what your driving, tires act different on different rigs. Im suprised generals arent doing it for you are you in a full sized rig?

Ive run a ton of different tires. Boggers, truxus mt, procomp xtreme mt, grabbers, bfg km2, the best tire ive run for our terrain is the bogger but there crap for asphalt. Ive seen alot of good reviewa on the trepador radials but am having trouble deciding.. lol

May just be me but if i were you id get the procomp tires aka interco super swamper tsl line if the mud is that bad, they are legendary in the mud for a reason.

With a larger rig you will probably eat up most mud tires, many if not all have softer compound. on the highway, thats the trade off.

Yea. Ive been through that especially with the interco tires ive run. I dont really mind if i need a set once a year aslong as they provide what is needed..

Yep thats the conundrum even in my colorado tires wear pretty fast at 6300lb i get a new set of patagonias every 1.5 years, on my ranger @ 3000lb it rarely need new tires maybe every 4 years.

I had to go through alot of different tires til i found what was right for me and my use, its expensive and annoying the only tire i can for sure tell you to stay away from are toyo open country mt they may be ok on small stuff and they look good but in rain they slip and slide on the road and in mud they get stuck like a at tire, and they wear crazy fast.

I have an 89 FSB running Maxxis Bighorn MTs . I love the things... have done everything I have asked this past year and looks like they should run for a few more years.... we don’t have the same kind of mud here as you do there though. They clay here seams to be no challenge for the bighorns.

Irok Radials. Pitbull Rocker Radials. Are the kings of mud, around here.

The Grabber x3's are the most streetable of the ones you selected. Those look like the old Cooper STT's. Not the best in mud, but do perfectly fine in it.
