A mud tire is a large, thick tire designed to resist the friction of deep mud.

Mud tires have large tread blocks and reinforced sidewalls having a rugged protruding design.

Mud tires have more aggressive tread configurations with wide lug spacing.

Mud tires hold an aggressive tread pattern providing a superior grip having large and deep voids between the tread blocks.

It is done to protect the tire’s interior for better and longer-term durability.

Wide tires provide more contact with the ground.
