  • Very expensive
 
 
 
 

A skull-and-crossbones tread pattern makes the Dick Cepek Crusher one of the most recognizable mud tires on the market. It doesn't carve through deep mud quite like the famous Interco Bogger tires, such as the top-rated Interco Super Swamper Bigger LTB (*Est. $485), but experts and owners say the Crusher still distinguishes itself in the mud. It's a good trail tire and rock crawler, too, and one expert calls it his favorite sand tire. Like most super-aggressive mud tires, though, the Dick Cepek Crusher carries no treadwear warranty and it's rough and noisy on the highway. If you want to save money -- or you don't want skulls on your tires -- the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar (*Est. $195) is the critics' top mud tire choice.

An expert test at Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road compares the Dick Cepek Crusher with the magazine's favorite line of mud-bogging tires, the Interco TSL Bogger. Owners at Offroaders.com and TireRack.com also judge the Crusher's performance both on- and off-road.

1. Petersen's 4 Wheel & Off Road

With a tread pattern reminiscent of the ultra-pricey Interco TSL Bogger tires, the Dick Cepek Crusher prompts Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road testers to wonder whether this radial tire could outdo a bias-ply Bogger in the mud. The answer is no, although the Crusher does a great job on both mud and rocks and even better on sand. The super-aggressive tread hums loudly on the highway, but the noise is "bearable."

The Dick Cepek Crusher is a favorite mud tire among owners here, with an average rating of 9.4 out of 10 in five reviews. Owners love the fierce-looking tread pattern. They report some pull and drag on the highway, but nothing that's unexpected from a quality mud tire.

3. Tire Rack

Only four owners had posted reviews here for the Dick Cepek Crusher when we checked, but all rave about its performance in mud and snow, as well as the skull-shaped tread lugs wrapped around the sidewalls.
