Both sides of the coin here guys, and I can't believe I'm saying this.
Rex, I think you did jump a little harshly here. He did ask about a good mudding tire. I don't follow every post so don't know his situation, and my quick answer probably would have been the same.
But I would have also asked what his intent was, to get some more info.
Do you need it for winter/slippery conditions as well?
I like my KM2's but I've only had them in mud once. I would go with a general M/T tire. if you're concerned about ice driving, the duratrac or other aggresive A/T might be better.

If hes near ice a bfg mudd would be good they have the studding holes in the tire, his state might not allot metal studds tho.

Everybody seems to like the Goodyear Duratracs, but basically all name brand all-terrain or mud tires will do just fine. This question is too subjective for a definite answer. Above all else, just make sure you get something with a warranty. Mud tires will usually make more road noise, ride a little rougher, and get worse gas mileage. If the percentage of on-road driving is above 50, I'd go all-terrain. They'll last longer.

I would generally agree with you Jam but in this case chesty has been a part of numerous other threads from the OP and I knew what the guy was asking for from his other posts he has made that chesty has just posted his usual dumb crap in that he seems to do to just about every single thread he posts in!
Had it been someone else that posted it that I knew wasn't a part of previous convos from the OP I would have not responded in the manner that I did

I don't think I'll ever put another set of swampers on one of my trucks, they are the roughest riding worst lasting tire on the market. And no warranty. But, they are tough tires, and they work well in mud.
BFG mud terrains are nice all around tires. A friend just bought a set of Durun mud terrain tires and is very happy with them, and they were a lot cheaper than any other tire out there.
