I'd say the Swamp Dawgs, with the smallest lugs trimmed out. Especially if you are going to be in the mud a lot - the Swampers act a lot like paddles or deep chevrons.

The Moabs may have them beat on the rocks, but I see you are in Michigan - and if your wheeling spots are anything like what I have around here, it's more backwoods trail action rather than full-on rock crawling anyway.

i like my cut swamp dawgs, they look cool and dig in dirt. they are not as good on rocks as the moabs or red rocks tho. all 4 are cut like the fronts now.

I like moabs or mashers, granted the swamp dogs are the best scale looking tire I think they lack in performance... BTW Moabs work good in the snow too

the're damn near the same the m2k are a r.c.h. bigger maybe a 1/8 inch if that.
the swampers are good on everything trail ride but real rocks not so much and between the moabs and m2k's its really a toss up the only adwantage is the size of the moabs in that there a little taller

Proline M2K's. Good on whatever you're running, wherever you're running.

i think the m2k are a very good all around tire i just bought a set of rr. going to try them out today. sorry don't mean to hijack your thread but have you tried crawling over at elk rapids dam, they have some really nice rocks there along the mouth of the river.

x2 for the Masher 2k's. I've never tried the Swamp Dogs, but I have one crawler with Moabs and one with Mashers and I find the Mashers better for just about every situation.

my boys and i went out for a crawl yesterday and did a little comparison and the m2k did perform better than my redrocks, while climbing a loose dirt hill the rr's kind of wheel hoped and the m2k's just cruised right up.
