The other day i was mud boggin in my bone stock 03 S-10 4x4 when i decided to go down a little atv trail. well this ended in my worst stuck ever. i bottomed out in a pit of mud that was the same consistency as pottery clay. the only way out was the way i came in but i had no rear extraction point(no hooks trailer, hitch, nothin')! so i had to tie a rope to my bumper and get a ram 3500 to pull me out really carefully. luckily it worked. i was wonderin if any of yall would recomend the best mud tire you know of in the 30 inch range so i can go back and woop that mud pits ass. i was also wonderin what would be the cheapest way to add a strong rear extraction point.

Cooper discovery mud terrain tires work pretty good for a small tire. They make alot of road noise though. BFG mud terrains work almost as well and make almost no noise on the road.

Well for the ultimate mud, get the tinker tonk size boggers. BFG M/t's work well if it will see a lot of street also. As for rear extraction, either get a custom bumper with d-ring points, Aatach d-rangs to the stock bumper if its metal with some huge backing plates, or just get a hitch.

the tsl's are better than the coopers and way better than bfg's but also louder compared to a bogger they are almost as good and a little quieter. also is the mickey thompson claw i have had experience w/ all these and like the claw the most

The little TSLs don't last long.
After only getting 3,000 miles out of a set of 33/14.50-16 boggers I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.
BFGs last forever and work pretty well in the mud.

Any mud terrain ( BFG, MTR, super swamper, regal I 've used these with great success) . A class III or IV receiver hitch w/ the warn receiver shackle works great also. mud tires alone won't keep you from bottoming out. good luck and have fun!

In a stock-type S-10, almost any tire with more meat would help. The TSL radial might be exactly what you're looking for. Also, with your truck being probably around 3000 lbs, tire wear shouldn't be an issue. A radial would definitely be better than bias ply, but either should get you around 30k without much problem. Hope this helps.

The Swamper LTB's are AMAZING!! I run 33X13.5 on my 4Runner, and not a complaint at all.
As for an extraction point, put a hitch on with a hook or D-ring that utilizes the hitch. I have a hook on my Tacoma, picked it up from Advanced Auto.
Any pics of the stuck???

I was wondering if anyone here has used the Mickey Thompson Baja Radial MTZ's? They would be seeing mostly street use, but also some mud, dirt, and snow of course during our Ontario winters. How do they perform, how long would they last?

If you are looking for a good cheap mud tire you might want to look at the Mud Kings. I am running a set of 35x12.5x15's on my 86 1/2 ton chevy and have put them through a lot of mud, and have no complaints as to how they work in the mud. They do make a little noise on the road but i think any tire of that size and style will make noise.
I have 2 friends that have them on their Yukons, and they seem to last a long time. Both are on they 2nd or 3rd year on them and neither of them rotate them like they should, and one drives like a real ***
I belive I paid I paid 600 or 600 for all four and mounting and balanceing them. I belive they are well worth the money.

if you can afford it go with 2 sets of tires and wheels, ons set for the street and one for offroad. a street tire will give you better milage and wount wear as fast on the road and then you will get a long life out of your play tires
