Best mud terrain tyre all-round
The General Grabber MT, particularly the X3 model, earns its reputation as a strong all-around mud-terrain tyre by effectively balancing off-road capability with on-road manners. Its aggressive tread pattern delivers excellent traction in mud, dirt, and rocks, while its robust construction and reinforced sidewalls provide crucial durability. Unlike some purely off-road focused tyres, the Grabber MT/X3 is designed to offer a relatively comfortable and stable ride on paved surfaces, minimising the typical mud-terrain tyre drawbacks like excessive road noise. Furthermore, General Tire’s commitment to producing durable tyres at a competitive price point makes the Grabber MT/X3 a valuable and versatile choice for off-road enthusiasts seeking a reliable tyre for diverse driving conditions.
Best for thick mud: Insa Turbo Special Track
Insa Turbo Special Track – We think the best mud terrain tyre for pure mud is the Insa Turbo Special Track. As this is one of the cheapest tyres we sell, you can be confident that we don’t have an ulterior motive for saying this! The Special Track uses a directional tread pattern, so it sheds mud very easily, and its side lugs are aggressive. Off-road racers swear by it as the performance is fantastic, and it won’t blow the season’s budget if any get damaged. And the reason it’s so cheap? Insa Turbo tyres are remoulded and built to high standards at their Spanish factory, which means they are also a little better for the planet.
Best tyre for rock: BFGoodrich KM3
If you need mud terrains and want the best out there, the BFGoodrich KM3 is very hard to beat. The quality is excellent, the road performance is pretty good for an MT, and the off-road performance is, of course, exceptional. You do get what you pay for with BFG. The BFGoodrich KM3 excels in rock crawling due to its innovative design and materials. The Krawl-TEK compound delivers exceptional grip on rocks and slick surfaces. At the same time, the Terrain-Attack tread pattern, with its large tread blocks and Linear Flex Zones, ensures maximum traction and adaptability to uneven terrain. Crucially, the CoreGard Max technology reinforces the sidewalls with a thick shield and Traction-Armour Sidewall Sculpture, providing superior durability against cuts and punctures from sharp rocks. This combination of enhanced traction and robust construction makes the KM3 a highly reliable tyre for tackling challenging rocky environments.
Best tyre for road use: Falken Wildpeak M/T
Falken tyres are a little bit of a best-kept secret in the 4×4 world. Their Wildpeak AT3WA all-terrain is our pick for the best on-road all-terrain tyre, and their Wildpeak M/T mud terrain is also an excellent bit of kit. First and foremost, it’s great off-road thanks to its superb mud and rock traction and its sidewall protection. And for road driving, the Wildpeak M/T is our favourite mud terrain as it’s one of the quietest and best-handling MTs on the road.Â
Best tyre on a budget: Comforser CF3000
Chinese-made Comforser tyres are of really solid quality for the money. The CF3000 features a directional tread pattern (tractor style) that really grips well in mud and sheds it easily. Considering the price point (they start at just over £110), tread life is also perfect. Numerous size options are offered, including mud terrain tyres 265/75R16.Â
Best value for money all-round mud terrain tyre: Cooper Discoverer STT Pro
In our opinion, Cooper’s Discoverer STT Pro is a great choice of tyre for rocky ground. When you’re driving on rocks, it’s not just traction that’s important – you also need to know that your tyres have good protection from rock rash. The Discoverer features an Armour-Tek sidewall design that really does give great protection from sidewall damage. There are also loads of sizes available with white lettering if that’s your taste. Add to that a great mud performance, and you’re on to a winning combo for an all-round mud terrain that won’t break the bank.Â
