Age old question, mud tire review?

I dont, I have freidns that do.

I run toyo's, if I really needed balance I could put on weights, but I get very little vib from my 38 x 1450's on trail ready beadlocks up to and inc 60mph. So I've never bothered to even attemp a balance of any kind.

Internal weights (pellets, sand, etc etc) are ok, but only work at higher speeds. Pretty much useless until after at least 30km/hr.

The major reason that beadlocks are not approved by DOT is because a lot of beadlocks weld on a locking ring to an approved rim, ie trail ready on MT Classics.  Once the rims is modified the rim looses it DOT approval and the beadlock companies are not spending the money to get the rims re-approved.  Here is a good website about beadlocks by AEV, http://aev-conversions.com/products/wheels/beadlock_info.php

As for mud tires, I love my SSRs but Interco.  Nothing can beat the TSLs when it comes to mud but the SSRs are more street friendly as they are a radial and have a little siping.

I run BBs inside my IROKs. Being that they are bias ply tires and often get a flat spot on the bottom when they sit for awhile its about the only way to balance them. No vibes at  any speed other than the lugs humming once they warm up. If the Jeep sat for quite awhile and I pull straight on the highway they vibrate for a km or so till they warm up and the flat spot gets worked out.

I like the MTZs they have better grip on ice than some of the actual snow tires I've rode. Ice traction should translate into rock traction. They'll pull you through alot of mud as well, not just throw it everywhere, actaul side wall lugs to not just there for looks like some other tires out there. I thought about trying a set of trepador's but unless you get into the comp. sizes they don't sport much for sidewall lugs either. If you want some pricing on any PM me. I can get you prices on most oof the other tire brands as well.
