Default toyo mt's in mud?

I'm most likely gonna be picking up a set of Toyo Open Country MT's soon, and was curious if anybodys got an opinion on these in the mud.

Comparible to BFG's or are they more for the dry stuff?




Sorry if it's been covered already, did a quick search with no luck.

if we could ever get any rain out here in socal, i might be able to tell you but unfortunately, all i can say is that they perform extremely well in just about any other condition including snow/icy roads. also, their sidewalls are the toughest i have seen to date and they wear very very well. but mud.... i have no clue - sorry.

yeah, i have driven my JK in some deep snow in utah last year and without any problems. in fact, my JK would stick to the road where locals were going off into the ditch. needless to say, i ended up using my jeep/winch to pull them out

Not to hijack, BUT...

what kind of miles do you expect out of a pair, how are the on road manners, you mentioned snow but could you talk a little more about ice? I know they're pricey, but to pay a little more to get more miles out would be worth it for me. I'm looking at 33's. Thanks, Clay
