There is a trade-off between aggresive mud terrain and an all-terrain like the terra-grapplers. They do ride pretty smooth when they are new but as they wear down the Mud terrain will ride alot rougher. keeping them balanced and a proper alignment is critical to make them last where the all terrain its not as important. When I first bought the Mud Terrain I was told they were quiet. HA , Thats not exactly a correct statement, you can hear them a mile away, literally. but when the windows are up you can still hold a normal conversation. The main reason I bought the Mud Grapplers again was because I got 50,000 miles out of my first set and they were not 75% worn and I intend on using them in their respective terrain "MUD"!
