How to Select a Mud Tire for Overlanding:
A mild mud pattern will serve most travelers, as highway manners are still a consideration.
Select a mud tire with siping on the tread face for improved wet rock and road traction.
A chamfered lug profile will reduce mud retention and improve lug integrity
Shoulder lugs will increase traction in ruts and also reduce sidewall punctures
Look for mud and store ejectors between the side lugs
Favor a taller, narrower tire for muddy conditions
Mud tires also excel in most rocky conditions, due to the mechanical keying between the large lugs and irregularities in the rocks surface
Use a Light Truck tire (LT) with a two or three ply sidewall and a load rating appropriate to your curb weight
Mud tires will have higher road noise than a typical all-terrain due to the lug spacing. This can increase driver fatigue.
Mud tires will typically have longer stopping distances on road, particularly in wet conditions
Mud tires also reduce fuel economy (and ultimately range) due to increased rolling resistance and weight over an all-terrain
Mud tires will have a shorter tread wear life than a typical all-terrain
