Best Tyre for Mud and Rocks

Sorry mate, but you won't get 5 35" tyres (in the brands you've listed...) for $1500... Won't happen... You'll probably be lucky to get ANY 35's for $1500 to be honest... If you go with a no-name or generic brand, you MAY get four 35's in that budget... Just the way it is mate... But if you wanna throw a few extra spoons and look at the brands you've listed, well you'll find they're all pretty good...
How well do you get on with your tyre bloke...? I got my 35" MTZ's for just over $400 each.. and I find them to be a bloody good tyre both on and off road...

Try this one here, Summit Mud Hog 315/75R16 for 289 AUD. I got the Mud Hogs myself since a year and they are pretty good. Very quite on road, good grip on rainy roads and pretty grippy offroad on mud and rocks. Even on sand they perform. Wear is pretty good too, have them since a year, drive a fair bit to work every day (45km a day at least + every second weekend a long trip) and they still have 90% of profile left.

It is worth to have a look in our 4x4 parts review section 🙂

^^^ agree.. I've got a set of the 315's from hacket's discount tyres for $265 each and they are going great guns 🙂

^ Well, there ya go, I stand corrected... 🙂 probably worth a look...

I know a few people running the summit mud hogs now. Makes me wish I had have known about them when I bought new shoes for my pajero 3 odd years ago. Having said that the MTZ's have been a great tyre. They're at about 70% tread left as I don't do big km's and I have a set of road tyres 🙂 They have a few chips in them now as I went a bit silly on some rocks one day but other than that they have been faultless.
