Default ProComp Xterrain

Hello,

I've red many articles but I cannot decide neither understand where ProComp Xterrains stays in ProComp tires.

Is it a mud tire or a all terrain?
What is your opinion of it? Is it better that BFG MT or Toyo MT?
Do you recommend it for a 2dr JK Rubicon with no lift? I am going to 285/75r16 (more or less 33x11,5).
These tires are only for jeepin, I have the stock set for everyday ride.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Miguel from Portugal.

ProComp Xterrains are a very aggressive all terrain tire and should get more miles out of it than a MT, is it better than BFG MT or tOYO MT i have no idea.

These tires are more agressive than the others you have stated.
Personally I love the Xterrain I have owened 2 sets i set on a 97 Z71 and now again on my JK. They have a very similar pattern to the baja Claw but the gaps between the lugs are bigger for better clearing.
Some people dont like directional tread but it desnt bother me at all.
These tires are tough, I have never had to use a spare since I have been purchasing these tires and they have great road life as long as you rotate them.
I dont do much rock crawling but what I have done they have not let me down, and other than a super swamper I havent had anyone out perform me in the mud.
Fairly quiet on road for what they are too, not as loud as my buddies mud grapplers.
not too shit hot in the ice but deep snow they keep diggin and propelling you forward.

thanks, Pro comp calls them a MT
here is some info
Review of the Pro Comp Xterrain
The Procomp Xterrain is a radial MT (mud terrain) tire that offers a 3 ply sidewall which is said to be thicker and more puncture resistant that some other popular radial tires on the market. The Pro Comp Xterrain's main feature is an aggressive, deep, wide void tread design that uses a directional, staggered pattern that is made to channel mud and debris out and away from the center of the tire. The tread of the Xterrains uses what Procomp refers to as the XTC or Extreme Traction Compound. This compound is said to allow maximum puncture and tear resistance while maintaining the flexibility and stability necessary when running at low air pressures. The sideways are designed to be extra durable utilizing up to 3 plys of polyester, while the tread uses 1 ply of nylon, 2 steel and 3 plys of polyester. The Procomp Xterrain's large lateral lugs get traction assistance from sipes that run the through every lug, helping it to get traction on-road as well as offroad. One drawback of the tread design is that is configured in a directional pattern that gets better traction in one direction over the other. So when you install the Xterrain, install them so that the tread will channel mud out from center and away from the tire patch. Over rocky terrain the two layers of opposed-angle steel belting spanning the tread area maximizes puncture resistance while allowing the tread to flex under lower air pressure to maximize traction in rock gardens. On road the tread has been designed to be considerably quieter than you would expect from a Mud Terrain tire making it an idea radial mud tire for a daily driver. We like the Xterrain's aggressive look and performance to match. Sizes range from 31x10.50R-15 up to a 40x13.50R20.

You know man I have put so much research into tires over the years... it took me months to figure out what tire i wanted for my pickup and it ended up comming down to the Xterrain then when I bought my Jeep I did the same thing and once again came down to the Xterrain.
I just wanted something that I could rely on to get my 1 legged ass out of the bush and run day to day to work and back.

I will bring in some vids from home on monday and pust them.
