Hey there Ron, These tires look great. I don't see mention for offroad or mud use on these. I live in Texas and although it snowed here during Christmas near me, I don't need snow tires. I do however need something that is good in the mud and dirt. I do a lot of off road driving daily in my Vanagon going places that amaze the 4wheel driving construction workers I am going to see. Civil concstruction, lots of dirt sometimes lots of mud. I don't have a Syncro, just a GL. Got anything to fit my ride?
