Wetscreams for nasty mud or swampthings for something a little lighter, both Maxxis.
Schwalbe should have their mud tires out in the fall which will blow the wetscreams out of the water.*
*pure e-speculation, just excited.

I have had pretty good experience with Michelin Mud3 tyres. They are UST, grip nicely to wet roots, clear up quite well. Highly recommended.

You forgot Sharpied wet screams so 3.
another vote for wet screams love mine.
I'm partial to Hutchinson Baracudas
+1 for Wetscreams, has any one tried a 2.2 in the back? I got one for pretty cheap and its a 2 ply.
i got them 2.2 front and rear, and for plain mud without offcamber rocks and roots they are working better than 2.5, because they dig deeper in the mud. if it's rocky and a lot of roots forget them, they slide all over.
Specialized storms are gonna be the hottness.
Kenda's "King of Traction" have treated us good this year.
tks guys. How about rain king from continental ?
The intense mud spike is also basically a wetscream with a slower rebounding rubber. And a 2.25 intense tire is pretty much the same width as a 2.5 maxxis.
Plus they are a whole bunch cheaper, less than half the price of a maxxis.
I've got a pair and cut em down, but it hasn't rained in like a month and a half so i haven't trail tested them yet. Which is retardedly unheard of in Washington. Im pretty sure its a record.
