  • Founded in 2006, Maxtrek is a China-based tire manufacturer that lies under Zhaoqing Junhong Corporation Limited. The tire manufacturer offers a wide range of all-season, all-weather, winter, all-terrain, and mud-terrain type of tires suitable for use on passenger cars, CUVs, SUVs, light trucks, and commercial vehicles.

    The Maxtrek Mud Trac is a mud-terrain tire suitable for use on SUVs, light trucks, and Jeeps and features an aggressive tread design that’s engineered to offer better dirt and off-road performance, increased load-carrying capacity, and improved wet grip. The tire is designed and built to let you cross challenging terrains like deep mud, dirt, gravel, rocks, and sand, and is also optimized for self-cleaning. Thanks to its many great features and advanced design, it offers owners reliable performance in different weather conditions.

    In this Maxtrek Mud Trac review, let’s discuss the features and benefits, strengths and weaknesses, vehicle compatibility, size availability, and other important details.

    Features and Benefits

    A mud-terrain tire like the Maxtrek Mud Trac is designed and tuned to deliver great off-road performance and good traction in challenging terrains. The tire manufacturer has utilized high-quality compounds to withstand off-road driving pressures and to protect the tire from damage caused by cuts and chips. Let’s take a look at the features and corresponding benefits of this tire:

    • Solid off-road performance – The Maxtrek Mud Trac is called a ‘Mud Cross-Country’ tire by the manufacturer and has a go-anywhere attitude. The tire sports a special tread design that offers smooth rides and solid grip in rough terrain while boosting rock climbing ability. For increased lateral grip, the tire features lug wrap around onto the shoulder. Overall, the tread features sharper edges to hold the surface firmly and offer increased grip.
    • Enhanced self-cleaning – This tire sports a special high void tread design that ejects mud and stones from the footprint for optimum self-cleaning. The grooves and compound of this mud-terrain tire are designed for self-cleaning to offer solid grip in muddy and wet surfaces. Likewise, the multi-channel groove design of the Mud Trac evacuates water, mud, and slush for improved driving performance.
    • Increased durability and damage resistance – Mud-terrain tires are durable enough to withstand off-roading pressures and avoid damage from cuts and chips. Same is the case with the Maxtrek Mud Trac which comes with reinforced tread and sidewall area to protect the tread from cuts and punctures. Additionally, the structural carcass design, along with double crown wide steel belt and polyester cords, increase the tire’s strength and prevent punctures.
    • Optimum handling and stability – The sturdy sidewall and aggressive tread design of the Mud Trac boost handling in mud and sand. Additionally, the multi-channel grooves provide confident driving in wet conditions. The wider footprint of this tire allows a larger area to come in contact with the surface for increased stability.

    The Maxtrek Mud Trac is offered in 15- to 20-inch rim sizes and some of its available sizes include:

    SimpleTire’s view on Maxtrek Mud Trac tires

    Choosing a mud-terrain tire that suits your budget and doesn’t disappoint with performance is a big challenge for adventurers. Anything like the Maxtrek Mud Trac could be a great choice in this category as it boasts a worthy 7.7 SimpleScore in traction, offering good traction performance in challenging terrains full of deep mud, sand, gravel, dirt, or rocks. The tire is more durable than many rivals when it comes to durability and scores a 7.8 SimpleScore rating, which means it can easily carry heavy loads, resist punctures, and avoid chips and cuts.

    Likewise, the tire also offers better handling in off-road conditions and is offered in many different sizes to maximize compatibility with a larger set of SUVs, Jeeps, and light trucks.

    I've had a set of these 265/75/16 mud trac's on my Landrover Discovery for over 70,000ks now and still going. Quieter on road than my previous BF Goodridge and Coopers. Very happy with them and about to by another set in 285/75/16 very soon

    This is our second pair and I would highly suggest the Maxtrek Mud Trac for anyone looking for a quality long lasting tire. Our last pair lasted for 70K, which is unbelievable. These tires are for our F250 and are 37. There is some ride noise, but this is not meant to be a luxury tire. We had the tires sent this time directly to the installer without issue. Great tire and very efficient company.

    These have been great tires so far! I know they are mud tires but I have them on my weekend truck so they never see mud. Only blacktop. And they've held up very well so far. Also balance very well and ride very well. Road noise isn't that bad either. Overall good tire that I would recommend to anyone.
