Re: Mud King tires
 

I don't put any faith in the TireRack's customer surveys. Most drivers can't
tell if they have a low pressure tire, much less compare the performance to
other tires. New tires are always better than the old ones.
Mud kings are supposedly the same tire as the old MT, with one less sidewall
ply. That makes it a great tire, but for a vehicle driven mostly on
pavement, something with smaller lugs will work better, like an AT.

TireRack surveys need to be taken with a grain of salt slightly
smaller than a cowlick.

However, it's fairly easy to read the reviews and determine if
the rating is credible.

I have been running them since 95 & I like them.. they are in expensive, not
a lot of road noise, & for the wheeling I do they work fine!
