not best in mud
|

I am currently running 33 x 12.5's on a 2000 wrangler w/ a 4" lift. These tires get lots of looks from the unique appearance, but not the best off-roader. In Western NC I see a bit of everything. They did OK on trails, but have trouble in the mud holes, and slippery rocks. If you want the look and stay mainly on the street these are the tires for you.

wear very unevenly, not good in mud

I put 36x14.50x16.5 radials on my Super Duty 2 years ago. I still have them on. However, these tires wear very unevenly. Got to rotate them seems like every 3 months or so. Not good at all in the mud. Fine on pavement or light wooded trail. OK in the sand. Tires are NOT off road caliber. TSLs are much better.

Awesome all round tire
|
|
Cons:
|
|

I find these tires are an awesome all round tire!
Reading that people say they are scary on the highway confuses me...My Jeep TJ is a daily driver and I find these tires are quieter than most MT's, smooth as can be on the highway...no fear, even with the fact that I have completly removed my sway bar I still feel comfortable at highway speeds...
In the mud I found that they are not the best but work well...On rock these tires give me just about all the traction in the world...In deep snow I found it hard to get myself stuck...
As for icy roads, I don't think there's another MT out there that will give you the traction I have experienced with my TrXus, they seem to drive like a great all terrain tire...Most of our wheeling in this area is through off camber wooded trails and these tires are amazing, they seem to keep you well from sliding sideways and with all the driving through clear cuts with broken branches, logs and tire getchas I've yet to cut through a sidewall, mind you I have lots of lil' cuts and chunks of rubber removed but man with the amount of wheeling I do, usually 2 or 3 times a week on some pretty hardkor trails there is no doubt in my mind what my next tire will be... TRXUS all the way!

Good offroad tire, rapid cleaning

Cons:

terrible on street
|
|
I bought these tires for the value, and good reviews. They are awesome off road, mud, rapid cleaning, good side grabbers, snow good and sand. My Jeep being a daily driver, these tires suck on blacktop. Its not the noise, but the shaking of the whole jeep. They also wore down in about 15K miles. Overall, if your using these for almost total offroad, great tire, but if you use them going to work, ect...don't do it.

A little squerally on twisty paved roads

I bought these tires (235/85r16,load range e)for my 01gmc 1500 shortbox so i could plow and also for skidding trees out of the woods. My 8'fisher plow is really heavy but with the proper suspension mods and only 50 psi, these tires do fine on the highway,and the traction on ice and snow is unbelievable.Ive pulled my crewcab dually out of the snowbanks as deadweight (by myself)when that got stuck with little trouble,these tires go forward, backwards or down,but they NEVER sit and spin.My girlfriend drives this truck all over the place and besides being bubble balanced,she has no complaints.I love em'

They flat out kick...butt
|
|
Cons:
|
|

I have a set of these in 255/85R16 (33x10.5R16) on my '96 Ranger 4x4. They flat out kick...auhhhh...butt. I love them and my next set, only because I want bigger tires, stands a VERY good chance of being more TrXus MT's. We get LOTS of snow up here in the winter and this truck has been my DD since before I got the tires. They do great on the snow, ice, and slush covered roads up here. Even with my rear locker I only really loose traction when I make it happen or completely expect it. I haven't been stuck once in two winters...knock on wood. I think the soft rubber combined with the large amount of siping and this particular size's narrow width help to make a great winter tire. That narrowness also hurts them in the sand, at least in this size. I didn't have a good experience in really soft sand and had to air WAY down to get anywhere. Again, in a wider size they would likely do better. In general offroad use they have done great by me and I have not found them lacking...other than they have the typical Swamper TSL habbit of digging to China if you are in anything loose and let them. When you have traction and momentum they will get you where you need to be. I love them!

HORRIBLE bounce at 35mph
|
|
Puchased five 10.50x31 TrXus MTs from Discount Tire and mounted them on my 2002 Jeep Wrangler. I had high hopes for these tires, and I loved the way they looked. However, there was a HORRIBLE bounce at 35mph and higher, and they were UNSAFE at speeds above 50mph.
DT says they have trouble with this particular tire all the time. So, why do they continue to order and sell them?... It took several visits to DT and two calls to their corporate office to get them to admit the tires were defective with greater than 60 pounds of radial runout on four of the five tires. Then it took more arguing and threatening to get the television news team out there before they finally took the tires back with less than 500 miles on them.
The DT manager kept telling me it was normal for big tires like this to bounce completely off the roadway at 50mph. 31 inch is Big?!? Hmmm... I don't seem to recall having that problem with a set of 35 inch Super Swampers a few years ago.
I doubt I will buy from DT again, and I certainly will not buy another set of TrXus MTs. Too bad, because they sure looked good on the Jeep. BTW, the DT staff now runs out to meet me in the parking lot when I come in to have the tires rotated. I guess they got tired of me talking to other customers. ;o)
Bottom line... Don't buy the TrXus MT for anything on-road. However, if you trailer your rig to the trail, the TrXus MT is a very good rock tire.
Maybe quality would improve if Interco would move the TrXus MT production from Mexico back to the United States. Meanwhile, I am very happy with the BFG MTs I purchased to replace the TrXus MTs.

WATCH OUT FOR METRIC SIZES!!!
|

WATCH OUT FOR METRIC SIZES!!! Started out with 265/75-16. Cracked ALL of my stock rims (Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins). One in 13 different places. Sidewall blowout while towing a trailer full of quads and bed full of bikes (@50mph)not fun! Interco replaced all 5 tires with 33x12.5-16 No issues (M/T Rims) for the life of the new floatation tires (33k miles).

NOT for street use. These tires do NOT balance well, they take a lot of weight. Also have "run out" when mounted. I have tried 2 different sets of wheels. Would not recommend them for a light vehicle like a jeep or Toyota. One of the worst tires that I have tested on road. Do fair offroad.

These tires really kick butt on my 1986 mint Toyota 4x4. I have ran the TSL swampers and boggers and know this tire isnt as good in the mud but very close. The TSL's and boggers sucked on the street, vibrated badly and hummed very loud. These are smooth with very little noise, even my wife didnt complain about the ride untill I brought her off roading and put the truck on its side! I highly recommend these tires, they kick ass!

6000 miles they have multiple belt separation. Interco doesn't believe me
|
|
I've had these tires for almost 2 years now. The problem is that I've gone through 2 sets of these tires in a 34x12.50R16 format in the 2 years. My first set were great they stood up to the test on wet roads in heavy rain, they did hydroplane a bit, but was able to regain control. They did great in the Mud, shallow and deep thick clay type mud. I didn't have enough snow to play in over the past 2 years, but in the foot or 2 that we had, they proved themselves great in that. And rockcrawling they seem to do better than BFG and GY that my friends had.
The tires are rated for 25000 miles, my first set barely lasted 15000. At 13000 the tires had very little tread at all, by the time Interco agreed that they were defective and sent me another set, two of the tires were completely bald, and only one of them still had some tread left. My second set seemed to last a lot better than the first, I rotated them regularly, balanced them, and got an alignment on regluar basis. Now they developed their own problem. At only 6000 miles they have multiple belt separation. Interco doesn't believe me, but they'll refund me what I paid for them. And I plan to buy some ProComp MTs.
I will recommend these tires as long as you don't plan to do much highway driving. I believe that I was just unlucky enough to get 2 bad sets of tires. But they were great while they lasted, as long as you maintain them.

Over the past two sets of TrXus MTs, I have driven over 40,000 miles on both sets. 36,000 mi. on one set, and around 5,000 mi. on my new set. In between sets, I tried out both the BFGoodrich All-Terrain and Mud-Terrain tires on my '03 Rubicon, and I simply was not as pleased as with the TrXus MT. While the AT/KM provided a superior ride and handling on the street, off the road traction was completely diminished in comparison to the TrXus MT. At speeds above 40 m.p.h. on dirt and sand-covered roads down in Baja, Mexico - the TrXus MT excels. The MT/KMs allowed my short-wheelbase Jeep to handle "squirrely", not providing the level of confidence that I had with the TrXus MTs. Another confidence builder are the stronger sidewalls on the TrXus MTs. While I blew a sidewall on a relatively easy trail outside of Joshua Tree National Park with the BFG MT/KMs, regular jaunts in this same region have yet to blow out a sidewall on the TrXus MT.
When on the street with the BFG MT/KMs, the high-pitched squeal was enough to force me to not take the top off of the Jeep, but with the TrXus MTs, the noise from these tires is not nearly as bad as from the brand-new set of Mud-Terrain KMs. Also, the ride of the Mud-Terrain KMs were enough to drive me crazy during my commute. With the TrXus MTs, I am treated with a softer, more comfortable ride - whether its on concrete or asphalt.
I am completely satisfied with the TrXus MTs with regard to performance on the trail, price, durability, and longetivity on the street. These tires are my favorites!
