Mud Tires at Marcos Tires & Auto Repair
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
Went it to get my emissions, they were fast, the fee was really affordable, and the service was great!! Now my go-to shop for all car problems
Classic Car Repair, near Provo, UT
I worked at a car rental company so I dealt with plenty of body shops. Marcos is incredibly honest and they were great communicators. My car had some complications and they still were able to get my car fixed in a day. I will be going to them over any other shop in provo, even the main ones, for a couple reasons: 1. Since they are smaller, you will get much faster service. 2. Best pricing I have seen. Thanks to Josue for making sure I was taken care of

Really very good and responsible workers
Car & Truck Care, near Provo, UT
Sure thankful for these gentlemen today! I live in SLC & had to come down to Provo for work. On my way down south my tire sensor light went off - no big, was due for a rotation and alignment anyway. Looked up highly rated spots near my office and they came up first thing. Come to find out after dropping the car off thet I need two tires replaced due to wearing on the outside treads. I really appreciate how the owner's son took me back to the garage and pointed out the flaws in my tire compared to a newer one. He actually explained what he meant versus just yapping at me, which is unfortunately common as a single woman with zero mechanical experience. On top of teaching me something, they also didnt charge me for the rotation since I'll be out of pocket for a new set of tires (thanks all-wheel drive!) If I lived closer these guys would be my regular mechanic. Thanks for your kindness and integrity today, gentlemen. It doesnt go unnoticed.
