Mudzilla vs Radial Treps

Post by ar3nbe »

Im currently running a set of 35x13.5 Mudzilla (M8080) on my GQ.

They have been decent so far, and not really found them lacking for grip in the stuff I drive on, comparing to a mates car I can definitely see there superior to the Cooper STT (obvious isn't it). My biggest concern is that the Mudzillas are bias, and are quite average on the road. So im looking to go to something thats still decent offroad, but a little nicer on road.


So pretty much, how to the Radial Treps compare to the Mudzillas on Mud and Rocks.

Any input would be massively appreciated.

I have never used Mudzillas, but you don't hear much about them. I had radial Treps in 35s for a while on my GU. I found them to be pretty good all round but never really got to use them to their full potential. Being directional tread pattern they are relatively quiet for mud tyres.

I don't care about looks but I'd like sidebitters on radial treps for extra traction.

I know its off topic but have you seen the new CLAW, its side bites are knotched for extra wall movement.

I have only seen pics of TTC Radial Claw and the Bias Claw, they both look impressive, as you said they knotched now for extra flex and it might stop them from cracking and getting torn as easily now. In 6 months the bias claw is meant to be coming out in smaller sizes :armsup:

Back to topic sorry.

imo unless the sidebiter is the size of the ones on a bias trep or creepy they are not worth worrying about
and i wouldnt let it sway a purchasing decision .
