Pro Comp XTreme Mud Terrain

pros
  • Excellent grip on rocks
  • Designed for off-road hobbyists
cons
  • Tears up on sharp rocks
  • No treadwear warranty
  • Noisy and rough on-road
  • Very expensive

February 2009. The Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrain is much more expensive than other highly rated mud tires, such as the top-ranked Firestone Destination M/T (*est. $130). It is designed for drivers whose hobby is serious off-roading. Despite its name, experts say the Xtreme Mud Terrain isn't spectacular in mud -- it's fine, but not on par with a truly extreme mud tire such as the Interco Super Swamper Bigger LTB (*est. $480). One reviewer notes it should have been called the "Xtreme Rock Terrain," because this tire excels at crawling on boulders. Some owners and experts report that sharp rocks have torn up these tires. On-road, testers say the Xtreme Mud Terrain is noisy and rough, as most super-aggressive tires are, but they report no problems with handling.

Several websites for off-road enthusiasts have reviewed the Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrain. 4 Wheel & Off-Road magazine, Offroad.com and ProjectJK.com all take the tire on-road and rock crawling, but the reviewer at ProjectJK.com doesn't test the Xtreme Mud Terrain in any mud. We found more than 30 owner-written reviews at Offroaders.com.

1. Petersen's 4 Wheel & Off Road

The Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrain isn't incredibly impressive in mud, Petersen's 4 Wheel & Off-Road tester Jerrod Jones finds. It's not bad, though, and Jones adds that it's excellent on rocks and can still be driven daily on the highway.

2. Off-Road.com

Off-Road.com tester Pete Bach is impressed with the Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrain's rock-crawling ability, although the tread loses a few chunks along the way. He finds only a little mud during his test, and he predicts that stickier mud would gum up the tires.

3. ProjectJK.com

The reviewer, identified only as Eddie, runs this site for Jeep enthusiasts. He reports on the set of Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrains he used on his own Jeep JK Wrangler at an organized off-road event in Moab, Utah. He says the tires are loud on the highway but get good traction on wet roads, and they stick well to slick rocks. He did puncture a sidewall on a sharp stick, but he says that would have happened to any tire.

4. Offroaders.com

The Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrain gets mostly good reviews at Offroaders.com, with 80 percent of owners recommending it. They report that it performs well in all road conditions and is fairly quiet on the highway, for a mud tire, but some complain that their tires tore up easily and they had problems getting Pro Comp to replace them.
