Tires Guide

BFGOODRICH

The BFGoodrich Radial Mud-Terrain T/A's wide, muscular tread is shaped to provide extra bite and, according to the manufacturer, formidable traction. Special traction bars in the voids between the tread's shoulder elements enhance self-cleaning ability, and the tread pattern has been tuned for a quieter highway ride. The Radial M-Ts are available in 17 sizes and three load ranges for a wide variety of applications. For information, contact your local BFGoodrich Tire dealer.

BIG O

Big O Tires' Big Foot XT's computer-generated tread is designed to dig and grab in the mud as well as other driving surfaces. The XT tread design is available in sizes ranging from 235/75R15 to 35x12.50R15; some sizes fit 16-inch wheels. Big O tires come with an unusually extensive warranty. For information, contact your local Big O tire dealer.

COOPER

The Cooper Discoverer Radial STT is said to be an excellent tire choice for mud. The deep shoulder lugs are alternately scalloped so that one section always has a clear shot at fresh terrain for better traction. They're available in a full range of sizes for most 4x4 applications. For information, contact Cooper Tire Co., Dept. FW, P.O. Box 550, Findlay, OH 45839, 800/822-8686 (dealer info).

DENMAN

The Ground Hawg directional tire is designed to offer excellent traction in mud and is available in radial and bias-ply in sizes up to 44-inch outer diameter for the serious bogger.
