Winter tires are specifically designed to handle the challenges of driving in the most dangerous months of the year. From their tread patterns all the way down to the chemical compounds in the tread rubber, they are built specifically to provide better grip and more control in winter conditions.

Mud-terrain tires are a type of tire designed for off-road use, particularly in muddy or rocky terrain. They have large tread blocks with wide channels that push any rocks or chunks of mud out from under the tires, giving the driver the most traction possible. This mean M/T tires are able to handle steep trails and deep mud better compared to all-terrain and rugged-terrain tires. Additionally, they have a self-cleaning footprint, which is made possible with their high void ratio and wider lug spacing, making them excellent rough terrain tires.
