Gumbo Mudders?
Anyone ran Gumbos? I was wondering how well they wore. I have a set of 35x15.50 swampers now and will be needing a new set of tires probably this year. I'm curious about the Gumbo mudders. Also how well do they do off road. I do mainly trail rides and some mud running. The trails I run have a good variety of surfaces, from hard packed dirt to off camber rocks to mud to hill climbs and need a good all around tire that will clean well. Thanks

Gumbo Mudders?
We've got 38.5 Gumbo Mudders on my dads 75 F-250 4x4. Although its mainly used on sand, the truck always shines when put to the test elsewhere. Its done 4 ft of snow, 3 ft of mud (real sticky stuff), Rocks, flood water, the whole 9 yards. Always come through pretty good. The only think the tires dont do to well on is ice, but thats most likely do to a lack of any kind of siping.

i own a 93 f-150 4x4 and i have run mudders my whole life. they are the best deal and they really do work. the only problem is they get noisey when they get warmed up, so a a freeway ride might be a little unpleasant. they are great on wear. they last a long time if you treat them right.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-Nov-02 AT 00:58 AM (EST)]I've ran gumbo's for a few years now and flat love them. I feel that they out perform swampers. I live in Washington state and use my rig in snow,mud,dirt,& sand and have never been let down do to tire. I only wish they would make a radial larger than a 38".
