I need some input from all you wheelers out there on tire advice. I mainly drive on pavement 90 % of the time. I'm looking for a tire that's more aggressive than an all- terrain but less aggressive than a true mud terrain. I want a tire to work very well off road and be somewhat street friendly on the pavement ( no excessive tire wear ). I wheel in dirt,mud,up hills, and in a mixture of sand and dirt. I'm thinking of buying the Super Swamper Trxus Mud Terrains or the D*#! Cepek F-C II's. I have read that the Trxus Muds were really good off road and very street friendly. Do you think these tires are a good choice or do you know of any other good tires that would be better. Any help would be appreciated.

BFG and swamper m/t's are both very street friendly. Along with some of the budget m/t's. Just dont expect a ton of miles out of them and rotate front to rear regularly.  

A friend of mine has 31x10.5-15 Truxus Mud Terrains on his 1986 CJ and is very happy with them. He also mostly drives on road. He told me they're good in the rain, ice and snow. I don't know much about the wear but he has put almost 5,000 miles on them and he says they still look new...

Did you ask him how well they perform off road?  

not exactly. He has driven offroad with them and they've done everything he's wanted them to; never been stuck with them driving on mild trails, plus places he "makes" trails. He even helped extract a friend's fwd 80's pontiac while camping.  

If he hasn't been stuck hes not pushing it hard enough! Mud terrains in general do very well off road. I prefer the BFG's but Interco makes a good product as well.  

Since your gettin a wheel and tire package it is definatley cheaper to get it though the mail and get them mounted and balanced. National has always been good to me!  

i say stay away from any kind of super swamper. Id get the bfg mud. The only reason id get super swamper is if i was going off road more than 50 percent.  

Bro, Bfg ta ko are in most opinions the clear winner for wheelers like us.  I have had 33's and now 37's and taken on rock crawling, mud, sand, and their best terrain snow.  I hesitated buying another set because I really wanted something more aggressive and meatier, but the preformance of the tire is supperb.  Just check out the bfg web site and the comparison of the at vs. the mt and the mt only beats out the at by 1 mark in the mud catagorie.

If you need more agressive go with SS Irok radials.

Yeah, I know what you are saying, I'm kinda having second thoughts about the Trxus Muds since I don't wheel that often. I am considering the BFG all- terrain KO's.The only reason why I was thinking about the Trxus Muds is that I would probalbly wheel more often if I had these tires. I just can't seem to make up my mind. I think the best all- terrain tires are the BFG all-terrain's. The new KO's are better than ever. Right now I have the Goodyear Wrangler RT/S that are only supossed to have a 40,000 tread life to them, but I have over 70,000 miles on them right now and I only rotate them every six months. That's not bad for free tires,since my old ones were recalled. Well, soon I will have to make up my mind what tires I am going to buy because the tread wear is almost down to the tread bars. Thanks for your input.  

I like the truxs all right. They wear pretty good.  The bfg AT doesnt cleann out very well in mud. A gret tire is the wrangler MTR but they are costly. Oh, when you find the cheapest price on your tires, call 4 wheel patrs and they will match it.

Before you end your search, check out this tire.  Cooper Discoverer SST.

I don't know that much about them but have been told that they are the best kept secret in offroad tires and really are the type that fits your needs.

Good luck and go wheelin more so you can justify those tires you want.

Yeah, I read a write-up about these tires and they seemed like they would work pretty well. The hardest part about selecting the right tire is that there are so many choices.  

Wrangler MTR's are a glorified a/t in anytyhing except rocks. BFG a/t's are awseom tires for the street and mild wheeling but have no place in the mud. BFG m/t's if rotated regularly will get you nearly 40k miles, not bad.

This tire thing is driving me nuts, I'm still not sure what tire to buy. Price is important as I don't want to have to spend too much. I'm still trying to fiqure out what tire is going to give me the best of both worlds. An A/T is not going to give me the traction I'm after when I go off road but will give me the mileage and traction on road. A mud tire will give me the traction I'm after off road but not the mileage and traction on road. The Trxus Muds have siping in the tread blocks for wet weather traction on the pavement and the outer tread blocks look like they would do pretty well off road. Siping in the tread blocks of a mud tire is what I'm looking for. It would be nice if they could give you a ball-park figure of mileage on a mud tire if you rotated them on a regular basis but not a warranty. This sounds fare to me. The average price of the Trxus Muds is $115 a piece for a 31x10.50x15 and this is pretty much all I want to spend on a tire. I guess that I will just have to buy the tires and if I don't like them I'll just have to deal with it. (Close to 40,000 miles out of the BFG Muds aren't bad, but too costly for what I want to spend at about $140 to $150 a pop) Thanks for your input!!
