TrXus MT's ruled the snow!

[BearClaw]

We did a Raptor Run in CT recently with 20 trucks having various tire types and I have to say the one truck with TrXus MT's ruled the day and the trail. There was 18 to 24" of slushy snow over icy hard pack. We spent most of the day recovering trucks and I was impressed that the truck running the Trxus tires had little or no issues. So much so, that we made him break trail and assist in many of the recoveries.

We had BFG's, Nito's, Toyo's and Goodyear tires also on the trail, none compared in these conditions.

I was looking for a good snow tire and I have now found one.

Has anyone run these (35") on stock rims? Any rub?

Sweet! More comments on the TrXus MT please! Anyone else run them?

Gettin new tires on NV's soon.... (drool)

I'm sure they worked well but would probably give more credit to the driver. Not a magic tire.

Wouldn't disagree on the driver plays a big part. I have driven in a lot of deep snow and technique and experience does play a big part. However, equipment does make a difference and considering the number of trucks and experienced snow drivers, I must say this tire made a difference. How much is the question that all could raise relative to all of the opinions about tire performance out there. As opposed to reading reviews - after watching this trucks' performance, compared to 19 others, I must say there was a definite tire advantage.

Also, Sharpertouch, who was running these tires had run stock BFG's before and had nothing but good things to say about the TrXus MT's.

Hey Jim. Thanks for the pm. I'm at work right now but I'll definitely add to the discussion a bit later.

Was anyone running Goodyear Duratrac's? Heard they are good on the snow/ice. I will be in the market for some tires before next winter.

I am sure but will confirm.

I ran these on a lifted Tacoma years back. They were awesome. When they are new they are actually even great as a daily driver. All the siping makes them do very well in rain also. Once they wear a little they became pretty loud but your not gonna find a better mud tire that can perform in the white stuff.

Are these load range D? I was running C's on my Taco in a 35, but it may have actually been a 315-75/16. Can't remember.

I will have to let Sharpertouch answer that.
