Mud Tires at Horizon Automotive Service Center
What Are Mud Tires?
Mud tires, also known as off-road tires, are specially designed for vehicles that frequently traverse muddy, rocky, or rough terrain. These tires are engineered to provide enhanced traction and grip in challenging off-road conditions, including mud, sand, gravel, and other uneven surfaces.
Mud tires are commonly used on off-road vehicles, trucks, and SUVs that are frequently driven on unpaved roads or through rugged terrains where standard tires would struggle to provide sufficient traction and stability. However, it's important to note that these tires may not perform as well on regular paved roads as they are specifically optimized for off-road conditions. Regular maintenance and proper care, such as monitoring tire pressure and inspecting for damage, are crucial to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of mud tires.
Key Features of Mud Tires
Aggressive Tread Patterns
Mud tires typically feature deep, large lugs and an aggressive tread pattern that allows them to dig into the terrain, providing better traction and preventing the buildup of mud and debris.
Wider Tread
The wider tread design of mud tires helps distribute the vehicle's weight more evenly, reducing the risk of sinking into soft surfaces like mud and sand.
Reinforced Sidewalls
Mud tires often come with reinforced sidewalls to withstand punctures, cuts, and impacts from rough terrain, providing added protection against damage during off-road adventures.
Enhanced Self-Cleaning
The design of mud tires facilitates self-cleaning, which means the tires can expel mud and debris more effectively, preventing the tread from becoming clogged and maintaining traction in challenging conditions.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Driving through Grand Junction, on a long road trip, our car developed a brake problem. Brian Burford, the owner of the shop, met us personally, diagnosed the problem immediately, ordered the part and had it delivered to the shop, and installed it right away. He had us back on the road in the shortest possible time, and charged a very reasonable fee. I can't recommend this shop highly enough. Thanks Brian for your outstanding customer service!
