Compared with a mud terrain? I guess MT's do have those thick lugs all over them. Makes sense.
Still, one thing I've heard time and again from experienced adventurers. I don't know if some will disagree, but I've always been told by guys that they just keep their tires at 80 psi (I assume they had tires rated for that pressure), and no lower, and they almost never, or never got a flat.
I practice this at the 50psi rating of my AT's, and they don't have so much as a mild leak. They have plenty of tread, but they're old and worn looking... I avoid sharp rocks and such when I can, but these babies have been through some serious **** in their life with me alone (they came with my 81 bj60 donor truck).
I'm pretty sure they're BFG's. And yeah, they can handle the mud when necessary. I've driven almost as much thick deep mud in the last few days on washed-out local highways as I did in highschool playing in mudpits... they've done great.
