aloha I just got these treadwright m/t's and im from hawaii but im based in washington. its snowing right now, pretty cool. what are mud terrains like on snow on the highway and wheeling? I wanna go wheeling this afternoon. mahalo for any help.

 

do to lack of siping mud terrain tires are not as good on slick paved surfaces as the equivalent all terrain tire,but as long as u keep speeds down and drive very carefully you will be fine.
they shine in off road situations. driving through snow is similar to driving through mud.

although i must say, the BFG all terrains i have ran were great in powder as long as i kept the momentum up.

have fun out there, be safe, and dont end up in the gully like Trevor [91toyota]

 

Mud tires are good in snow... not icy or slippy conditions.

 

I have goodyear wrangler M/T......not sure if its same pattern but there M/T's

anyway i love em driven in the snow with them multiple of times handled that well.

Highway....not bad mine you can barley hear them just turn up the radio and noise is gone.

Wheeling? like rocks? mud? well i can tell you they will do in the mud : P

but ya my next tires are gonna be from treadwright tell me how you like them
thanks

 

Its been snowing all day here in hillsboro oregon, I run 30x9.5R15s they are mudcat M/Ts, I think they are amazing in the snow, I can have some fun but when im not trying to i can really stay on the road haha.

 

hey thanks you guys, they were awesome, no slipping or anything on the highway and off road they were great, these re treaded tires are amazing, look good, perform well, and 70 bucks each!!!

 

Sipe em!

 

i've looked into them too,im gonna get one as a spare to my 33 inch BFGs

 

goodyear mt/r's are decent ice / snow tires, bfg m/t's are awful in snow/ice...

 

x2.... also don't be afraid to air them down

 

I would get BFG AT TA/KOs for winter driving. If you're going to be road driving, the thinner the better for the snow. fat wide MT's are great for floatation on things like sand or powder snow. If you're not going deep snow offroading ***bring plenty of buddies with winches if you attempt this*** then you shouldn't go wider than 10.5" on your tires for sure. 30x9.5r15s would be better than 31x10.5r15s in wet and snow conditions. Other bonuses of the ATs is lower road noise and all around better road handling manners. I've put tens of thousands of miles on sets of 31x10.5r15 bfg ats in the last few years in New York winters. I love driving around the streets before the plow trucks get there. Never gotten stuck yet.

I say you're good for whatever, just watch out on the highway at speed when its below freezing, wet, or snowing. Siping the tires is a good idea so long as you're pretty conservative about it. Hacking apart your tires doesnt do you any good for longevity or safety on the road. Have fun! Post pics of your toy in the snow!

 

I run the Definity Dakota M/T in 31x10.5, Wow for a mud tire they do great!

 

have 'em studded....better than siping IMO

 

I've run Kumho MT's (30 x9.50) in Arkansas snows. I've also run BFG AT's in the same size. The MT's did just fine. Better in some situations, in fact. Particularly when the snow packs on the road, and in the Spring if it happens to snow then. The ground underneath is mud. The AT's just packed up and no go. Wash. winters may be different, though.

As far as ice, I don't know of any tire that really keeps traction.

 

I run a set of M+S tires that are very similar to any set of M/T, with a bit more siping. The tires perform VERY, VERY well in snow, but don't perform as well as a true winter tire on packed down snow and or ice. On wet roads, it's really easy to lose traction, but the tires are unstoppable in the snow.


My buddy runs a set of BFG A/T on his S10 Zr2, and they seem to have very good grip on snow, but like the M+S tires, they fall flat on their face under icy conditions.

 

I'm still here though!

 

mud tires= slippery. I just crashed my truck with mud tires yesterday. First snowfall, on my way home from work, I slid about 100 feet, desperately trying everything to avoid an accident, but then i hit the Neon... My bumper protected mine, but the Neon is pretty FUBAR.

 

Mud tires (at least mine) are not to good in light snow applications. Once it gets to about 7-8" then they actually drive pretty well.

p.s if the snow is not that deep, airing down is not what you want to do. That will increase your footprint, thus de-creasing the PSI and will cause floatation = crashy smashy!
