I've never really found a good "streetable" mud tire. If the tread is open enough to cut well and stay clean (absent 800 HP) it rides rough, roars and is subject to tread seperation from heat on the highway (particularly where I live). I've always had spare sets of rims with mudders mounted and just swaped out before going to the woods. With an impact wrench, compressor and a good floor jack, it's a 10 minute job.

I dont know if the parnelli jones dirt grips are agressive evough for you, but they are great on the street for what they are.

But really expensive, I believe that the 285s are about $210. But they are 10-ply and oversized.

What size are you looking for?

BFG Mud Terrains are pretty streetable mud tire, and get excellent mileage, 40-50K is the norm i have seen. a set of 305-70's is about 800 bucks though.

they work pretty good in deep mud, pretty good in DEEP snow, poor in rain, poor in ice, and not bad at all on dry pavement.

i had my 78 in some 10-18" deep slimy snot mud this weekend, never got stuck, but it was all over the place, kinda suprised me it did not track well, i followed a few guy thru, one guy with boggers went thru like it was 1/4" deep, almost perfectly straight, with no drama. my truck could not even stay in the ruts from other trucks, we forged our own trail

i did fare better than a couple lesser shod trucks, thjose were on all terrains, and one was stuck inside of 2 seconds and 20'!

there are far better tires for mud, and i will be getting those for the 78, as it is only driven on pavement long enough to get to mud or snow, boggers for me.
