I'm using nexen roadian mt's, they aren't remoulds but the sidewall in them is thinner than my at's. They're the cheapest mud tyre I've found (in a 235/75 anyway) and I'm pretty pleased with them so far. They are a lot better on road than I was expecting, they slide in the wet but that was to be expected and it's only if you push it, and they are not as noisy as I thought, I paid £75 for my new ones from camskill.com, but I do mostly road miles, however If I was using it mostly off road i would have payed the extra and gone for the turbos
we've got special tracks and they're great in the mud - a lot of winch trial competitors us them or alternative brands with the same tread pattern
A bit noisy on the road and is the wet they are fine for the speeds I do with the cage, lift etc fitted
In the ice and thin snow they are pretty useless but fine in deeper snow
TSL super swamper are the dogs but are stupidly expensive and the smallest are 31 x 12 x 15 :ohmy:
I've run remoulds for years and have had a fair number of different brands and patterns - never had an issue. Having used Special Tracks I don't think I'd go back to a different pattern. Got Kaimans on at the moment as they were on the truck when I got it but they're obviously pretty much the same pattern as Special Tracks. I've always found them ok on road tbh - you have to be mindful that they're not going to handle the same as HTs or Ats and adjust your road driving accordingly if needed. I wouldn't use remoulds on a vehicle I was using for a high-mileage commute though - they do tend to wear fairly quickly.
