ATs cant self clean worth chit in anything deeper than groundwater mud and they turn into slicks.
Ever hear the expression "just spinnin your wheels"? Try actually trailriding or bogging with ATs and youl understand it perfectly!

You wanna know a secret? Mud-terrain tires are only superior to all-terrains in deep mud and deep snow. In every other situation, all-terrains perform better.
I really don't think the OP is planning on going mud-bogging, or he would have known better than to even ask this question.

You want to know another secret?
BFG A/Ts are over price pieces of junk. They last a decent while, but suck on anything other than dry packed dirt (not sure about snow, haven't seen any in 10+ years). They have the worst thread cleaning pattern I've ever seen, which is why they cake up so fast and become useless.

ATs will outperform MTs in dirt, grass, sand, ice, shallow snow, and pavement.
Last time I checked, dirt, grass, and sand were considered off-road.
You're right, they don't clean very well. That's why it's not a "mud-terrain" tire. No all-terrain tire is going to clean very well in mud. That's not what they are designed for. However, they will still outperform any stock all-season tire in the mud.
Name another terrain besides deep mud and deep snow where a M/T will outperform an A/T. I can't think of a single one. Oh, I guess rock climbing. But I don't think the OP was concerned about that either.
