Well must admit, If I could get the Firestones over here, they would be going on the second set of wheels, but as I cant, then its the Hankooks for me. BFG's are good but overpriced compared to all the others....imo

needless to say, the M/Ts will offer much better mud performance than the Michelin Latitude's!

The type of mud will make a huge difference too.
Thick sticky clay wont clean from the tire as well as "standard" mud.
