Mud Claw tires do one job and do it for a price that makes sense: aggressive mud-terrain traction for light trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs without premium-brand pricing. Built for TBC Brands, one of the largest tire marketers in North America, the Mud Claw line is distributed through the long-running Eldorado, Multi-Mile, and Delta programs, which is why you will see the same tire listed under several names across the market. The current flagship is the Mud Claw Comp MTX, a second-generation mud-terrain available in roughly 29 light truck and flotation sizes spanning 15-inch through 22-inch rim diameters in Load Range C, E, and F. Performance Plus Tire has been family-owned since 1978, and across 47 years and more than 100 years of combined team experience we have fitted a lot of trucks that actually see dirt.

Mud-terrain tires are one of the few categories where spending less does not automatically mean giving something up. The fundamentals of an M/T are large tread blocks, wide voids to clear mud, and a carcass tough enough to survive rock and root. Mud Claw delivers all three, and because TBC Brands moves tires in enormous volume through its wholesale network, the pricing lands well below the marquee mud-terrains while covering most of the same fitments. For an owner who needs 35s on a weekend trail rig and would rather not spend premium money on tires that get chewed up in granite, that trade is an easy one to make.
The Comp MTX launched in 2022 as a second-generation design replacing the earlier Mud Claw Extreme M/T, and the updates were aimed squarely at toughness and off-road bite. The tread carries self-cleaning stone ejectors in the voids, which matter more than most buyers realize: a mud-terrain that packs and holds gravel loses traction, throws rocks, and can eventually drill into the tread base. The shoulder blocks are styled to flow into the sidewall contours, extending the biting surface past the tread face so the tire keeps pulling in a rut when the crown is no longer doing the work. Available load ranges run from C through F with load indexes up to 129, so there are genuine options for three-quarter and one-ton trucks carrying weight rather than just half-tons running cosmetic lifts.
At Performance Plus Tire, the part we spend the most time on with mud-terrain buyers is not the tire, it is the fitment around it. Going from a factory 32-inch tire to a 35 changes your effective gear ratio, your speedometer calibration, and whether the tire clears the firewall at full stuff and full lock. Load range changes ride quality noticeably, and an F-load tire on a half-ton that never tows is a harsher daily driver for no benefit. Southern California is unusually hard on mud-terrains too, since most local wheeling is decomposed granite, sharp desert rock, and long hot pavement transits rather than actual mud, so sidewall toughness and heat tolerance matter more here than void depth. That context is what our team brings to the conversation, and it is a free phone call.
One practical note on shopping Mud Claw: the brand appears under multiple labels. Because the line is distributed through TBC's Eldorado, Multi-Mile, and Delta programs, retailers list the identical tire as Eldorado Mud Claw, Multi-Mile Mud Claw, TBC Mud Claw, or simply Mudclaw. If you have found a part number or size elsewhere under one of those names, bring it to us and we will match it.
Mud Claw is a proprietary house brand of TBC Brands, part of TBC Corporation, an American tire marketer and wholesale distributor founded in 1956 and headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. TBC is jointly owned by Sumitomo Corporation of Americas and Michelin, and it also owns the Midas and Big O Tires franchise networks. Because TBC is a marketer and distributor rather than a tire manufacturer, Mud Claw tires are produced to TBC's specifications by contract manufacturers and sold through its Eldorado, Multi-Mile, and Delta distribution programs.
Mud Claw tires are a value-positioned mud-terrain, and they are a sensible choice when you want genuine off-road traction without premium pricing. The Comp MTX carries a 55,000-mile limited treadwear warranty, which is competitive for an aggressive mud-terrain and signals real manufacturer confidence in the tread life. They are not engineered to match the on-road refinement, noise control, or ultimate tread longevity of top-tier mud-terrains from the major brands, and they are not meant to. For trail rigs, work trucks, and budget-conscious builds that need a capable M/T, they do the job well for the money.
The Comp MTX is the newer, second-generation design and it replaced the Extreme M/T in TBC's lineup in 2022. The Comp MTX adds self-cleaning stone ejectors to shed packed gravel, redesigned shoulder blocks that flow into the sidewall for added biting edges, and improvements aimed at overall tire toughness. The Extreme M/T is still found in retailer inventory in some sizes and remains a serviceable tire, but the Comp MTX is the current production model and the one to order if both are available in your size.
The Mud Claw Comp MTX is offered in roughly 29 sizes covering 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, and 22-inch rim diameters, including both metric LT sizes and flotation sizes. Flotation fitments run from 30x9.50R15 up through 35x12.50R20 and similar, while metric sizes include common fitments such as LT245/75R16, LT265/70R17, LT285/75R16, and LT295/70R17. Load ranges available are C (6-ply rated), E (10-ply rated), and F (12-ply rated), with load indexes up to 129.
Yes. The Mud Claw Comp MTX carries a 55,000-mile limited treadwear warranty, plus free replacement for defects covering the first 50 percent of usable tread life. A mileage warranty on an aggressive mud-terrain is relatively uncommon, so this is a genuine point in the brand's favor. As with any treadwear warranty, coverage depends on documented rotations, proper inflation, and normal road use rather than competition or commercial off-road service. Call us at (888) 926-2689 and we can go over the current terms for your size.
The Comp MTX is warranted to 55,000 miles, and real-world mileage typically lands below that figure for most owners because of how mud-terrains are used. Aggressive tread blocks and soft off-road compounds wear faster than highway tires, and heavy off-road use, frequent airing down, high loads, or a heavy right foot all shorten tread life. Owners who keep up with rotations every 5,000 miles, run correct pressures for their load, and stay on top of alignment see the best results. Lifted trucks with modified suspension geometry should have alignment checked carefully, since mud-terrains show irregular wear quickly.
Expect typical mud-terrain road noise. Large tread blocks separated by wide voids generate a hum that builds with speed, and that is inherent to the category rather than specific to Mud Claw. Value-priced mud-terrains generally do less computational tread-pattern tuning for noise than premium models, so they tend to sit at the louder end of the segment. Keeping tires rotated and properly inflated limits the irregular wear that makes an M/T get noticeably louder over time. If highway quiet is a priority and your off-road use is occasional, an all-terrain is the better tool.
A Q speed rating means the tire is rated for sustained speeds up to 99 mph. That is normal for light truck mud-terrains, where heavy construction and deep tread generate more heat than a highway tire and the rating reflects the tire's thermal limits rather than a defect. It is well above legal highway speeds, but it is worth knowing if you tow at speed in hot weather or do long desert transits, since heat is what kills mud-terrains. Correct inflation for your actual load is the single most important factor in managing tire temperature.
Mud-terrain tread patterns do reasonably well in deep unpacked snow, where large blocks and open voids can bite and clear. They are weaker on packed snow and ice, where siping and a cold-pliable compound matter more than tread depth, and mud-terrain compounds stiffen in low temperatures. Retailers commonly list the Comp MTX as an all-season mud-terrain, but if a severe snow rating matters for your use, confirm whether your specific size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake marking before ordering. Call us at (888) 926-2689 and we will check the spec on the exact size you need.
Mud Claw is distributed through TBC Brands' Eldorado, Multi-Mile, and Delta programs, which are long-established wholesale distribution brands rather than separate products. The result is that the same tire appears across the market as Eldorado Mud Claw, Multi-Mile Mud Claw, TBC Mud Claw, or simply Mudclaw, and the brand name is written both as two words and as one. If you found a size or part number listed under any of those names, it is the same tire. Bring the number to us and we will confirm the match.
