Lexani Mud Beast Tire Review & Rating
The Lexani Mud Beast features an aggressive-looking tread design that is designed to provide exceptional traction, grip and drivability on or off-road. Built for trucks, SUV’s, jeeps and other 4×4’s, the Lexani Mud Beast is a longer lasting mud terrain tire that also sports a lower budget-minded price point.
With an aggressive, deep tread design, stronger sidewalls and a cut and chip resistant tread compound, the Mud Beast is able to better withstand all of the punishment thrown at it in difficult off-road terrain. Its deeper tread voids clean themselves well, while the lugs give it added protection.
On the highway this model’s advanced features deliver a quieter than expected ride to go with a comfortable ride. Traction on dry or wet pavement is better than many tires in this class. Grip in deep snow is also very good on this model. The tougher tread design further treadlife, and we’ve heard from many drivers who have gotten 40K plus miles out of these tires.
Lexani offers a range of 16-20 inch sizes, with a D or E load range rating. A limited tread warranty is also provided.
Pros
- Very good dry and wet traction
- Deep, aggressive tread design delivers excellent treadlife
- Excellent off-road performance in dirt, mud, gravel and rock
- Quiet and comfortable ride for an MT
- Value for the lower price
Cons
- Traction in deep sand
Overall Thoughts
If you’re expecting the Lexani Mud Beast to be just another cheap MT tire, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. This tire is actually a solid overall performer both on or off-road. Its aggressive-looking tread design looks somewhat similar to the Cooper STT.
That said, this model performs well in difficult terrains. Traction on dirt, gravel, mud and rock is as good as many of the bigger name brands. We’ve heard a number of truck, SUV and 4×4 owners commenting that the Mud Beast is quiet, comfortable and better than similar mud terrain tires like Toyo M/T.
On the negative side, some owners have mentioned that deeper sand can be problematic. In addition, traction on ice is another area of concern.
Overall, the Lexani Mud Beast provides good bang for the buck. It ranks as one of the better second-tier MT tires available.
