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.

I use thease tires on my 74 Land Cruiser camping / daily driver. They work awsomein the snow and mud, they could clean out a bit better in the mud but as far as im concerned they worke better than the other street orientated MT's i have witnesed or tested. Unbaetable in snow. Found they dig down prety fast in the sand but i never got stuck. I dont haul alot of weight but have not had a roblem in the last 3 years with wear (they get rotated regularly)or sidewall blowing or anything like that. i highly recomend thease tires if you are runing a Land Cruiser / Jeep like vehicle and need a tire that can do it all.

i had a 2000 silverado on 6inchs with a set of 35x12.50R16 trxus tires on it, my exp with them they were great while they lasted, had them on the beach and didnt need to air down just stayed in 4hi and cruised, had them in some thick mud and they cleared np and got traction and made it through everything unless i bottomed my frame out, all and all i liked them, only lasted me about 2 years though could almost watch the wear monthly, had an 87 k5 with kuhmo mts same size and they lasted 4 years at the 3/4 tread i bought them at so what im comparing it too

on the road Worns like ice cream in the sun

they get unbalance very quickly, in the first 1000 km, less that 20000km they worn out needs replacement although they claim full warranty not to wear for at least 100,000mile, , I send e-mail to complain but no support or answers, this tyre is good for off-road ONLY no paved roads or heat.

Pros:
|
Quiet tires for mudders
|
|
Cons:
|
two tires with broken belts and one with a bubble in the side
|
|
I ran 35/12.5/17's on my truck. The traction on pavement is not good at all. They break traction with very little power applied. On wet roads the will break traction almost everytime. The F250 will turn sideways if I am not paying attention. Warranting them with 4 wheel parts sucks. You have to mail them to a certain location in TX(buy tires locally). They did wear very quickly. Not many miles on them at all and they were no good. If you are looking to have a good street tire and occasional off road tire, choose something else. I have no confidence in these tires. The only pro is that I think it is the only mudder you can find in the 16.5 inch rim????? That is a radial.

Pros:

Awesome mud tire!!
|
|
Cons:
|
No cons, even when the middle of the tire is bald the side bites still get you through the mud!
|
|
Was a little sketchy about the tread design when i first ordered them but was very impressed with how they performed, not only in the mud but in the winter also. Only got 30k out of the first set but i do drive alot of highway.

Pros:
|
Quiet and smooth on road, extremely griptastick offroad, true measurement
|
|
Cons:
|
They are heavy.
|

12 000 and counting, starting to pick up a slight hum at freeway speeds, still less that the much smaller bfg kms they replaced.
Pro: travelled mountain highways in snowstorms with no issues. Excellent on wet rock, gravel and light mud. Aired down to 8psi they ride on top of the deepest snow, any more psi and they dig deep, fast with no build up. Low wear so far.
Cons: 84 pounds @37". (but lots of tread and sidewall lugs). Ice traction is only slightly better than bfg km's. One tire out of 5 was hard to balance.(it did balance, took nearly 1lb but that could be the steelie it's mounted on)
I would highly recommend these for people who wheel hard.

I have these tires in 235/85/16 on my 2008 Dakota 4x4 4.7. I drive a lot on the highway at 70-80 mp/h and these tires are not squirrly or scary. They are great on wet pavement, snow, slush, ice, mud. Don't go on the rocks or sand so no comment about that. I like the look of the tire and the price was right $400 used with 80-85% tread on them. These tires are loud and hard to balance and I lost about 50 km to a tank in gas mileage with them. They have been a good tire for me so far and I would recommend them to anyone who does my kind of driving.

Balancing, tread wear

Got these tires on a f350 that I drive daily on the highway andget off road often. Best going tire I've ever had in the snow and mud (they replaced BFG MT's) Have never been able to get them balanced, just found out that 3 of the 4 tires were out of round. got 12,000 mils on them and they are well below half tread. (was getting 42-25,000 out of BFG's) Love how they went in the snow and mud but they beat me to death on the road and aren't lasting like I think they should. Took the first out of round tire off at 3,000 mi. and it already had 5/32" wear! To me, they would be an awesome off road tire for a lighter vehicle.

I have these tires on my Jeep Wrangler as well as a 1978 F150 4x4. The truck tires are over 8 years old and look like new. Lots of miles and no wear. They are quiet on the highway. I have pushed snow with the bumper and not spun.Great in rain, snow,mud, rocks, havent tried sand yet!
Only bad thing is the balance. I sent a set back due to not being able to balance them. They are a nightmare to balance. Take lots of weight.
