On the FD's 6x6 they are less then impressive in the mud. When we got it stuck, the straight bar would load with mud and the truck didn't have the tire speed to throw the mud out of the tires, once the tread was loaded the tires would not cut any more and we couldn't move even after we pumped out all of the water. In a couple of weeks we will be changing over to some Firestones that have a tread similar to Power Kings. I also noticed that the tires only have an 8-ply rating.
My 2-cents
