i bought the maxxis based on it looking like a good mud grip tire, reasonable price, and favorable reviews. considering how deep the lugs are - i think they are pretty quiet on the road. in the mud, they're very good. it doesn't snow much in georgia, but we had one good snow with about 6 inches of snow. i went anywhere and everywhere for the 3 days that the rest of the area stayed shut down.
