MTR's aren't designed for mud. Nevertheless, their wide voids help them clear easily, and their biting edges tend to grab the bottom if you can find it. If you have to float, good luck...those biting edges turn into cutting edges and if it's deeper than your frame, you're hosed. It's most likely installation of the driver mod, but it seems that when I went to AT's from the MTR's that came on the Jeep, I did a heck of alot better offroad. I didn't do the same trails other than S. Cushman flats, but in the flats the AT's didn't seem any less worse for wear than the MTR's in the water. I won't go and do that again though....for me the Flats are winter-only, until I get some really good mud tires and have a few other rigs out there for support and safety.
I'd say BFG MT's. Siped, they can act like AT's in the winter, but are much better in the mud in the summer. They also wear pretty well, but are a bit louder.
Trxus MT's have the best of all worlds. Swamper TSL tread design (with smaller voids though....won't clear like a full TSL), AT-level siping, enough rubber on the road to reduce noise and help pavement pounding handling...and the larger sizes have the sticky compound available. It's like Interco wanted to please everyone and came through pretty nicely.
