which tyres are you using for mud?

Hi
Which tyres are you using for mud?
I have been using a tkc80 on the rear wheel of my r100gspd sidecar outfit but I would really like to fit something that self cleans better but am having problems finding something that fits . it needs to be road legal as I use it on green lanes. I would like tubeless as I have no rim locks fitted but it’s not a problem if I have to use a tube.
So any ideas greatly appreciated

Pirelli MT21.
It's not tubelss but I'm pretty sure you don't need a rim-lock.

I'd second the MT-21, at least if you need something that'll be sound on the road as well.

If you're running exclusively off-road something out of the MEFO catalogue might be even better (my guess: MEFO Stonemaster on the rear and the Enduro Master on the front).

For ultimate mud grip & self cleaning you need a road legal MX tyre like a Mich AC10.

If you want something that won't wear quite so quickly but will be a bit slippy on wet tarmac the Trellaborgs(sp) last for ever on a trail/enduro bike.

M&H (Interco Tire) TerraFlex in the 140/80 US made flavor...

Probably the most aggressive DOT tire out there...love them!
