They are certainly not a bad tire, and are very tough.
No, not a bad tire at all. It's just when you have a choice what is the best option. I now have done the MT/Rs and don't think they are the best choice.

Honestly, I think they have gotten me stuck a couple of times. Because they are great at traction but when you start breaking packed mud up and it packs into the lugs of the tire, the MT/Rs don't clean as well as they should in my opinion.

Knowing this going into muddy areas will cause you to drive differently, more momentum etc. to compensate. But I know the MT/Rs do extremely well on in the 15" version on a other trucks, on Jeeps, etc. I'm not so sure about how well they clean on those but the load rating is lower, so I am guessing that it might have somethng to do with the performance on the H2.
