Mud Terrain SXT
Brand: Dean Tires
Model: Mud Terrain SXT
Size: 265\70\17
Price: 200 Each
Wheels: OEM
Lift: 2" RC
Spacers: 1.5”
Road review- They feel solid and you do hear them (Not like the swampers, but you do hear them)
Mud Review- Love the grip
Rock Review- Also love the grip here
Sand Review- Have not had them in sand yet
Snow Review- Last year with all the snow it was able to get me farther than the rest of the rigs I was running with, so I love them. Also they can be PINed so that should tell you something.
Air down Review: Soft sidewalls, so when I tried 15 psi I was all over the place, so brought it up to 25 psi it helped but I learned I don’t feel good about going below 30 psi on these.

Note I want to say; these are Load E rated & I normally run about 40 all the time. Al in all I am happy with them.




Also this will show you how it handles in the slippery mud going down a steep incline with 7 people in the XK

I'd say from that video that you had the best traction out of the group (and the nicest rig!) Cool review! I'd never heard of those.

Just reserving this slot for the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's

Brand: Good Year
Model: Wrangler Duratrac's
Size: 285/70/17
Price: 900 + 40 for the install and balance (includes free replacement of tires)
Wheel used: Stock wheels
Lift: Modified OME 3" lift (MLL+'s (extended Monroe Load Leveler Shocks))
Weight: 53lb/tire

Road: These are not MT tires, but obviously are a very aggressive A/T. On the road, they have a faint hum at most speeds. At slower speeds you can feel the tread underneath you. It's not oppressive or anything though. Drives through the rain like a champ, does NOT hydroplane, but prefers to knock water everywhere.

Mud Review: These tires are the best performing A/T tires I've ever owned. Mud slugs on the outside with A/T tread in the middle. It makes it a VERY versatile tire. Put the tires in the mud and all they want to do is stick to the ground.

Rock/trail Review: Get ready to hear tons of tapping when you are done wheeling. Pebbles seem to find there way into the tread pretty easily. But they 'self-clean' pretty well. They'll still look dirty, but the tread clears pretty well. These tires are more than capable on rocky/trail/gravel conditions.

Sand Review: Because these tires are a little bit wider than what I have used in the past for this WK, they ride a little differently than my silent armors. The silent armors pressed the sand a lot while riding on it, so the tracks were deeper. The Duratrac's ride on top, i'm sure they press, but they don't pess as much since the weight is distributed over a wider tire. But the tires clean well in sand, actually they clean well across all environments. Very nice tire in sand.

Snow Review:

Air down Review: I felt a lot more comfortable airing these tires than my previous, especially for wheels that aren't beadlocked. I aired down to 15psi all the way around. Improved the traction of the tires, especially in mud.
