^Well if you can't imagine the noise and general horror "mudders" would cause then you're right, they're probably not for you. However some people actually use their trucks off pavement and in snow and......mud! BTW, I'm not talking swampers or Thornbirds, more like Duratracs or Toyo RT/MT.
No they're not the most efficient tires, neither is a big RV drinking gas like it's free.
But, the most useful, do everything tire is a stout mud tire, siped for rain n snow traction.
Fortunately for all of us there are tire designs for everyone.
Cute comments. Since were all adults here, and well past buying our first set of tires, you know exactly what I was talking about. And, like most adults of a certain age, macho stupidity doesn't really impress me. So, buying macho, aggressive mud tires for a nice trip on paved roads doesn't really do much. Some guys feel they need a truck with an 8" lift and ten grand worth of bolt on **** to look cool, while on parade in town, others need to walk around with a gun tucked in their shirt. Then there are the rest of us that wonder what exactly they are compensating for?
Probably don't need any explaining about what leaving the pavement is , from you. I've done things at Moab that would leave a lot of people crying for mom, or at least jumping out, and walking back to town. Using nothing but a nearly stock rig, with a 2" terraflex, and some 33" ATs. No drama, no looking cool for the parade in town. Started offroading forty+ years back, when we would segment bending pipe, used to build our homemade sand rails, with a forked tree and a little Oliver bulldozer to get the job done. My first rodeo was so long ago, I forgot what color the horse was.
