I believe you can order Mud Kings through Discount Tire Company. I know 4 Wheel Parts used to carry them, they might still I'm not sure. I ran 33x12.50 Mud Kings on my 84 F150, I bought them new... I think I had just over $550 into all 4 of them. They were an awesome tire for the money, I'd buy another set.

I've got 32" remington mud brutes on a jeep of mine. they do pretty well. When it comes to off brand mud tires I'd just pick the ones with the coolest name lol. Mud Brute, Mud King, Mud Rover, Mud Country, Mud Grappler, Mud Smacks, Mud Dragons, etc. OK I only made a couple of those up lol. Seriously though, on summitracing.com the Mud kings are $150 and INterco Trxus muds are $153 in your size. I'd go for the intercos.

So, we are mainly down to these tires:
Medalist Tires 58428 - Medalist Mud King XT Tires - Overview - SummitRacing.com
BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2
Yokohama Geolandar M/T Plus
Super Swamper RXM-05R - Interco TrXus Mud Terrain Tires - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I'm liking the looks of the Interco Trxus and the BF Goodwrench Mud-Terrain T/A KM2. I know looks aren't everything, but you can kind of tell how a tire will perform to a certain degree by looking at it.

I will be getting some in about 2 weeks, just wanting the best for the money.

Here you go
MATTRACKS / Suspension Tracks MODEL 105M1-A : eBay Motors (item 290371448601 end time Jan-16-10 14:54:44 PST)

Only $15,000 for some used ones. This guys been on ebay for at least 3 months. I've heard 30,000 for new ones! whew. They're cool, but mattracks or 5 more old for trucks? I've been through this in my head before

i had a pair a while ago of the old pattern BFG mud terrains on a jeep,now i have the new BFG MK2's on my psd and id say they are well worth the money.dont know much about the other tires listed but KM2's tread pattern is very similar to the BFG crawler line that are a excellent tire,very expensive.

In mud it probably goes Boggers, SSRs (own them), TSL, and Maxxis Bighorns (own them).

Ground Hawgs use to be awesome tires in mud.

53" Michelin XZL's

in my college dorm

on the way home. NOT MY TRUCK! Wouldn't catch me dead in a dodge...

all 4 for $400

Just waitin' on the money for Rockwells to mount these.

I run 44" Gumbo Monster Mudders on my '79 F250 and '84 F150

My bro has 44" Gumbo Monster Mudders on his '78 Bronco and Buckshot Mudders on his '96 F150

I put 39" Ground Hawgs on my girl's '84 F150

My mom's '86 bronco has 33" TSL's

I like the Ground Hawgs the best, they look kick *** and perform awesome. They're 39's and are as wide as the 44's.
