Interco TrXus Mud Terrain
The TrXus Mud Terrain tire is Interco Tire Corporations Mud terrain tire that competes directly with other popular Mud terrain tires like the BFGoodrich MT T/A KM which attempt to give the consumer a mud terrain performance while behaving well on the street. As with the other Interco tires, the TrXus excels in their design. First the TrXus uses the three stage lug design which has proved itself impressively in not only mud but also on the rocks, in deep snow, on loose grainy terrain and on the changing wooded trails. Down the center of the TrXus are a variation on Intercos two center row design of alternating "v" shaped lugs, which incorporate sipes that allow the tire to grip not just on the rocks but better on wet roads and in icy conditions than typical mud terrain tires would. The center lugs as well as parts of the outer lugs incorporate a "stepped" design that allows better release of mud and debris for better self cleaning as the wheel rotates around through the terrain. Sidewalls are protected by a supplemental tread design that not only servers to reduce sidewall damage but also assists with finding grip. The TrXus is available in both Bias and Radial designs. The for users who are looking for a good Mud Terrain that also drive well on the road, the Radial design is the tire you will want where on road handling is better than you might expect. Sizes available up to 38" with plys ranging 6 and 8 on the Radials and 8 and 10 in the Bias Plys.
Manufacturers description of this tire:
TrXus Mud Terrain
The NEW TrXus Mud Terrain is INTERCO'S answer to the need of those who want a smooth, super quiet ride with tough, thick sidewalls with a chip and cut resistant compound. This tire has more siping than any other mud terrain on the market; which has proven to be almost magical in icy snowy conditions. These same traction features make this tire a serious rock climber.
Each TrXus Mud Terrain tire has its individual specifications and is heavier than the original equipment tires of comparable size. Many brands of tires are made from generic specifications which means there are many "brand names" coming out of a particular factory but all the tires have a common specification basic body or casing. The only difference is the mold the tire is cured in. The tires will have different tread designs but the body of the tire is common to many others of the same size but under various names.

this was my first set of off road tires was a set of these in 33x13.5 for my 01 Ram off road edition. they are a good tire if your weekend worrior is also your daily driver like mine is, they lasted me about a year and then i handed them off to my sister who has a wrangler, and there still kickin. they did pretty good in the sand but not so good in the mud cause the tread got all clogged up pretty easy. my only complaint is they can get kinda noisy on the highway, but thats nothin a turned up stereo cant fix

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!
