Yes, I'm talking about using Pam to help the lugs clear the mud better. Where l'm going the mud has lots of clay and my concern is my tires balling up with mud. When that happens The lugs don't clear and the tires spin with a layer of mud on them. Mud is different in different places. Depends a lot on the clay content. I'm talking specifically about driving ok clay mud roads and dikes near the Salton Sea, Google mud pots in Saloon Sea and you can get an idea. Thanks Bill

 

Imagine walking in mud and you have a big wad of it on your boots. Imagine having to scrape most of it off and then having trouble pressure washing it all off with a hose. That's what I am talking about. It's some of the stickiest mud you've ever seen. Bill

 

I'm familar with the kind mud you are talking about, I call it water proof mud

 

If this is a vehicle that is gonna be pulling double duty through the mud and then driving home on, I would not be doing anything to the tires to help the mud slide off on without washing the truck real good. Towing it home is one thing, but driving on the road is another.

I don't know what kind of tires you are running currently, but it sounds like it's time for you to look into getting good mud tires first before thinking about using supplemental ways to help clear the lugs.

Remember the first and foremost key to clearing most mud tires is wheel speed. Without that, nothing you do will help clear the tires better.

 

Im gonna spray every exposed surface of my 4runner

 

Yep, that's what I'm going to do. I got BFG Mud Terrain KM2s, which should be great.Good to know. The other problem is that I will be driving on dikes with canals on both sides, it's pretty gnarly!!!

I'm just looking for something to help. What do you all think of chains?
Bill

 

I had a feeling you'd say the KM2's. Me being into the mud bog scene for quite awhile there is nothing that will beat the Super Swamper TSL/BOGGER in the mud.

Any other "mud" tires is just another street wannabe mud tire. Those KM2's are great all around tire though if your crawl, occasional mud on the trails etc etc, but if you want a serious mud tire the TSL Bogger is the only way to go.

 

I don't recommend trying that on ice....

 

boggers suck on the street. Any bias tire isn't good at all for daily driving.

I'd recommend the swamper tsl radial. Screw spraying crap on your tires that's nt meant to be on tires. Just get tires with a purpose designed in them, and forget about it. If you can somehow manage to clog up a set of TSL's then you shouldn't be driving.

 

i prefer to use KY.

 

 

Thats what she said!
Probably not cost effective though...
