These are the three that I am currently looking at. Wanted to get some other opinions . Not much highway this will be the pasture and soggy bottoms around my land.

I run Toyo M/T’s and they pull good in the mud. I am in the pipeline construction business so I see some nasty ROW’s from time to time and have probably run every mud tire out there. I rate the Nitto’s second so I think the order of those pics is accurate imo.

Why not a set of Super Swamper TSL’s it you aren’t gonna run them on the street? Those tires can dig you to China but I can see the tread melt off them on pavement.

I run 35” BFG KM3’s, not much out there on them but previously had Nittos and Toto MT’s before. I like them better so far.

My vote goes to the Mickey Thompson MTZ. It is awesome in the mud and tough as hell. I ran them almost daily in mud when I was construction surveying for Morganza to the Gulf levees.

We all have our opinions, but I didn't care fore the Toyo or Nitto M/Ts. Like above, if your not running much highway, go for the more agressive TSLs or Nitto Mud Grapplers if you want "cOOl" sidewall look.

Get some Interco TSLs if theyre not normally on pavement. LTBs even better

This. If they will rarely see the street, Super Swamper TSL is the ay to go.

That's what it looks like it's going to end up being

They are second to none off road (expect maybe boggers which they also make), but the road will eat them up much faster than anything else.

If you really want to get with it in mud, get a set of Boggers.

Currently running the cooper evolution MT on my daily driver. Budget friendly but only had them about 7k miles so not sure on how long they last. If I get 40k out of them I will be happy. Seem to pull decent enough

I can't say anything about the Toyo MT's but the RT's on my Duramax have 44K miles on them and will easily make 50K. I will be going back with another set of Toyo's for sure.

I would go super swamper SSRs. Kind of inbetween a mud terrain and the TSLs or boggers. They're radial so when you do drive it into town they'll be a little smoother. Probably my favorite interco tire. My cousin had them on his truck in high school and they were great in exact situations you describe.

Boggers are sweet but you can dig yourself to trouble in those real quick!

TSL's are the only answer. They are in a different league than regular radial mud grips. I had a set on my truck for a while and there really is no comparison to a street tire. If you rotate them religiously and pay attention to air pressure they aren't super horrible on the highway. I got about 20k miles out of mine and they were normal bias ply TSLs

Check their blem list if you haven't.

I used to run their irok Nds on the side by sides because they never wore out
