haha  you are asking way to much out of a 15in offroad mud tire.  you would probably be better off with a name brand all terrain tire

good luck

didnt think the mud terrains would live up to that expectation but figured i'd ask

not thinking those a/t or xtreme a/t will hold up very well though??

Yea, sounds like you want a BFG AT. Or Nitto Terra Grappler. Or if price is an issue ProComp Xtreme AT.

Really? No, they are not the "better" tire. They are the "budget" tire. I would take the BFG or Nitto over the ProComp.

the regular a/t design just isn't rugged enough thats why i like the pro comp xtreme a/t.its a design in the middle-(also why i was lookin at the dick cepek fc II-they are a hybrid of all terrain and mud terrain)

jus checkin that the bfg mud terrain or another brand mud terrain rides a lot rougher and wears out faster than the pro comp xtreme a/t?

The BFG KM2 mud tire would be a good choice if you want something a little more aggressive. They ride and wear REALLY well for an MT.

Every vehicle will be different. It depends on your driving style, roads, alignment, weight of the vehicle as equipped, towing or not, wheeling or not, ect...

I would think that 30,000+ wouldn't be out of the question if you keep them balanced and rotated.
