Mud and Snow Tire
Hi,
I'm trying to find a good mud and snow tire.I don't really care if it rides great on the road or not. Something reasonably priced too. Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Luke
P.S. I also posted this on the Tire fourm.

The snow part is the kicker when looking into a tire for mud and snow.
What kind of snow? Hard pack, fluffy, stuff stuck to the hwy from the wind?
A goood winter/snow tire has a lot of sipes in them.

actually for snow and ice on a road an AT tire is better but not the ideal choice for mud.
If just talking pure offroad snow as in virgin unpacked snow then take your pick of the cheaper mud type tires.
Heck if just wanting a pure offroad ask around and find out who does recaps, was at tire store yesterday and a local farmer just bought 4 really aggressive mud recaps 16" rim for around $100 each. His truck rarely sees hwy use so they work great for him.

Anyone ever try the Cooper Discoverer STT's? My Mud Grapplers are slick as Clinton's willey and I need a new set of tires before winter hits in. I want something with good road maners and a long tread life for the stupid duty, but gives good traction in the snow when plowing, and does ok offroad. I'm not looking for an all out mud tire, just something to get me through the muddy pit areas when I'm pulling the ranger.

They gotta be quieter than the Mud Grapplers too. It's pretty bad when I can hear the tire roar over the loud azz dizzel when going down the road. Makes it really hard to sneak up on the bambi's too!

El Dorado MTZ Sports are what I've got on my truck in 31x10.50x15.
Eldorado - SUV-LT
It's a lot more aggressive tread than an AT tire, it's a radial too so it won't ride rough and they hardly make noise on the road. They also balance really well. It's got a LOT of tread depth and grips really well.

Uh, I run a 35x12.50x18 tire to fit the factory rims on my stupid duty. There are a metric crap ton of cheap 15, 16, 16.5, and even 17" at tires. But for some reason when you hit that 18" wheel size, the pickins get real slim and pricey! I've found way more 33x10.50x18's (well the metric equivilant) than anything larger. It's almost like tire manufacturers are scared to make a decent 35" tire for my needs.

Really, tire manufacturers make what they can sell, like anybody else.
You really don't see many trucks with 18'' rims and 35's. Usually it's 17''s or maybe even 16''s.
They make plenty of 20 and 22'' rims and tires though. Wonder why.
I'm so bad.
LOL.

I'm too white to spend useless money to go up to 20 or 22" rims....
