My guess is a mud tires is probably a bit more serious than Blast is considering -- as a class they tend to be noisy, ride harshly, wear fast (if using soft compound) and uneven -- but, if you can stomach it, the Interco (Super Swamper) SSR is road friendly, and my understanding has a super soft compound which makes them good in the wet. I've never seen a bad review of this tire.

Hey John,
Thanks for the info on the Revo 2's I have been interested in these tires, who are they on ice?

For 5 years I have been using BFG A/T KO's on my 4x4 Toyota Tundra. I have found them to be good snow/mud tires but like skates on ice.

I have Nokian Vativva All Purpose (not like all-season) tires on my work truck. The rubber is softer making them a much better ice tire but I tend to get flats on freshly graded gravel roads.

I`m going to have to possibly try the REVO2 next when my BFG AT wear out.

With the jeep I tried a few times to slide it around the corners to check traction and it's amazing, I can't get them to break loose! With my F250 I can, due to no weight in the back but it's VERY HARD, much harder than I would ever drive either vehicle around a turn in traffic/city. That = good for me The same is true for snow, and ice, their performance is amazing.

If the REVO2 is better then awesome.

I used to have the Pole Position on my old cars, they were nice back in the day!

My feeling is they do extremely well in slippery conditions, but they are still an AT tire. A dedicated winter ice tire is going to be infinitely better.

But, the way I approach it is when it gets REAL bad out, chain up all four.

Try TireRack.com. They have a large selection and many reviews that are very handy. Prices are good too.

I have had several good experiences with tirerack.com. I have no affiliation with them other than as a customer.

I go to America's Tire and have them match tire rack price + I pay $25/tire to install/mount/balance. Depending who you get they may charge you "shipping" too which is normally $80 or so. Still way better than full retail.

Another advantage to Big O is they are a national chain that operates under various names in differing areas. In Texas they are Discount Tire. I know Blast has seen a Discount Tire, there are several just off I45 in the areas from Conroe to south of Gunspoint (woops, sorry, Greenspoint) mall.

I use Discount Tire exclusively. They typically will match Tirerack (minus shipping) as well. The other thing is they will order *from* Tirerack and can order pretty much anything you want.

TireRack has a wholesale program too, find someone who is in with them and it's normally 5-25/tire cheaper than their web posted price too. I got America's Tire to honor their wholesale price too.
