Best mud terrain tires

Top pick: BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3. It's the mud tire most people should start with — a proven, widely available mud-terrain with a huge size range (15" to 22" wheels), so you can fit it to almost any truck or SUV, and it balances real off-road bite with tolerable road manners.

Who the others suit:

• Falken Wildpeak M/T — if you want strong owner ratings and a slightly softer, more livable mud tire for a daily driver that still plays in the dirt.
• Nitto Trail Grappler M/T — a good middle ground: aggressive enough for mud and rocks, quieter than a pure competition tire.
• Nitto Mud Grappler — for serious mud and deep ruts where maximum self-cleaning matters more than highway comfort.
• Toyo Open Country M/T — a heavy-duty choice for big lifted rigs and hard off-road use.
• Maxxis Roxxzilla / Carnivore — best for dedicated trail and rock rigs, not daily driving.
• Crosswind M/T, Vizzoni Mudz, Cosmo Mud Kicker, Radar Renegade X — budget mud tires that get you the look and grip for less; expect more road noise and faster wear.

Whatever you pick, match the size and load range to your truck's door-jamb sticker, and rotate often — mud tires cup quickly.
