Review of
the Ground Hawg Mud Tire
The Ground Hawg Mud Tire is a timeless classic
"old-school" traditional Mud
Tire Design that is reminiscent of early generation Mud
Tires yet developed under today's technologies by Interco
Corporation. Originally designed by the The Denman
Tire Company, the Ground Hawg is a directional tread
design mud tire which offers superior performance in thick
mud, deep snow, and rocky terrain. Available in Bias
& Radial designs, the Ground Hawg has an aggressive tread
design that is made to work very well in deep mud yet wear
well under normal highway usage. Several features of
the Ground Hawg make this the choice mud tire for classic
truck pull series as well as offroaders who have been
ripping through the mud for decades. For offroad
toughness the Ground Hawg Bias Tires are the better choice
with up to 8 tread plys and 4 sidewall plys.
The tread design is very aggressive and complemented
with massive siped outer lugs for clawing and digging in
mud and snow. Inner staggered lugs are
designed for a larger footprint and siped for traction,
self cleaning and longevity on the highway beyond the
average, mud terrain tire. The heavy duty
construction is made from a durable tubeless nylon
construction with a bulky rubber compound. Sidewall
protection and traction is enhanced by deep sideway lugs
extending far above the tread's huge directional outer
lugs. Outer lugs are also designed to accept studs
for even better traction, offroad as well as on ice and in
deep snow and mud.
For those who prefer a Radial designed tire, the Ground
Hawg offers it's Ground Hawg II Radial Tires. The
Ground Hawg II Radial Tires offers the best features from
the Ground Hawg Bias Tires, but in a radial design. The
Radial design offers 6 and 10 ply in the tread area but
only a 2 ply for the sidewall, although the wrap-around
tread design offers greater sidewall protection over most
mud terrain radial design tires.
 About
The Denman Tire Company and Walter R. Denman
The Denman Tire Company was founded by Walter R.
Denman. It was first known as the Denman-Myers Cord Tire
Company, and now known as Denman Tire Corporation. Mr.
Denman founded this company in 1919 after working with
Diamond Rubber Company, The B.F. Goodrich Company, and The
Miller Rubber Company. Mr. Denman was a mechanical and
electrical engineer. He was instrumental in perfecting the
first natural cord tire and was granted over a dozen
patents. The Denman family has since sold their interests
but the name Denman remains.
