Yup, muddies are an acquired taste and lots of guys run them unnecessarily. I hate the bloody things but having learnt the hard way I’ve had to suck it up cos without them I can’t do nowt, and I don’t want to have to tow a bike everywhere. Sometimes its literally the last 2 or 3km to get into a block, to a cabin, up a few steep gradients, and as soon as its wet its all over unless you’ve got decent MTs. With Cooper ATs I kept getting into strife even with diff locks and low pressures.

That light brown / grey shellrock mud in the Taranaki / Ruapehu area is a bitch especially when its part way to drying off after the rain, its the worst stuff I’ve ever come across, turns ATs into slicks in an instant.
