Truck Mud Tires - For Those Rough Roads

Looking to pick up some truck mud tires?  When you drive your truck through off road conditions, in loose gravel, dirt and even thick mud, you need to get a hold of some truck mud tires to ensure you get something that cleans up well and has a good tread life.  The question is, how do you go about finding the good ones and where do you buy them frim?

Well, one of the best places to start looking is on a forum.  There are many people out there like you who are looking for a decent set of truck mud tires, and who better to ask for advice than fellow truck drivers out doing the same thing you are?

They will not only be able to give you a detailed description of the tires, but also first-hand experience on how well they performed for them in various terrains.  There really is nothing better than first hand experience, so rather than just browsing the tire listings at various online stores and comparing the technical aspects of the tires, head on out to a forum.

Some forum goers will give lists of some of the tires they feel perform the best under various conditions, or lists of tires they wish they had.  You may have to dig around for these kinds of posts, but if you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can always make a post and hope someone answers.  One forum you can try doing this on is the “Yota Tech Forums”.  Search for it by name and when you find it, just go to the Tires & Wheels section and do some searching.

A lot of the serious truckers will tell you that BFG tires are good, but that if you’re looking to do some serious “mudding” then you need to go with the Super Swamper line of tires.  Of course you also need to consider the cost of the tires as well, often when you go for the best truck mud tires, you’re going to have to pay a hefty premium. 

As far as what tires you should specifically look out for, here are a few:

Dunlop Mud Rovers, Dayton Timberline M/T’s, 31”10.50” Swamper TSL’s(around $135 a piece), BFG M/T’s(around $158 a piece) and Swamper LTB’s (around $117 a piece).

Do keep in mind that although most people prefer Swampers, they tend to be more expensive on the whole and don’t last quite as long as other brands such as BFG.

In the end, when searching for truck mud tires, be sure you do thorough research before investing your hard earned dollars on a set of tires, go onto a forum and soak up all the knowledge you can, then go out there and get the best value for the buck!
