Jeeps are different compared to lard ass Raptors.. With close to 4000 lbs on front tires and 2000 lbs rear tires (aprox example) it is harder to achieve flotation like a jeep..
At least a Raptor in the mud (like deep snow) sinks to bottom and using momentum to power through..

OK
I had a set of the Grabbers on my other truck. Decent tire and if I remember correctly, reasonably priced.
