They work good for the price
I've had these on a Jeep XJ for three years. It is driven on the road several times a week though not my only vehicle. The tread is still very good so I'm happy with the wear, though that's not what I bought them for. They were very quiet for the first 200mi. They steadily got noisier and now they howl. The lugs wore uneven and I can feel every one of them. Mud traction in Ohio is good not excellent. In Utah they held there own on all but the busiest trails. They would not grip with the thin coating of sand that was on the busy trials like Hell's revenge. I never had trouble in snow, but ice was a different story. I bought other rims and A/T's for winter. I will not be buying these again. I've had the original Brigestone MTs, ProComp MTs, and another brand I can't recall just now. These have been the worst of them, but also the least expensive.

Good all around tire for all conditions.
I have always had excellent performance out of the MasterCraft Courser line of tire. Great traction in all conditions, and no issues when truck is loaded either.

Give the tires 5 stars except for winter
Give The tires five stars except for wet Road and winter. Reason for winter was because I haven't had them long enough to see how they will do in the snow. Wet roads they do okay. If I could've gotten them in a 6ply I'd say they would be 5 stars on wet pavement but it being a light truck and 10 ply they can be a little sketchy on wet pavement. They are quite, no wear showing as of yet, and go good on and off road. Biggest issue I have with these tires are they pick up rocks bad. Other than that great tire

Awesome tires.
These are great tires. They pull really well in the mud and they do really well on the street. They're not real noisy like most mud tires. This is my second set of these tires. The first set I got 78,000 miles out of them. I hoping I get the same amount out of these.

Excellent Tires so Far
So I've got almost three months on these and so far I am very impressed. Switched from KM3 and not only is the ride improved but the wet handling is a million times better. Time will tell how they wear but so far I am impressed.

27,000 miles and all 4 tires are shaking
I put these on my wife's new 2021 4runner. We took off the factory tires at 9,000 miles installed these new beefy tires. The tires look great and performed well for the first 22k miles.
Now the tread so hard and the tires ride so rough. It also feels like a tractor tire when driving at slow speeds.
The worst issue is that at around 22k miles, the tires began shaking the steering wheel badly. We rotated fronts to rears, and the rears are shaking the steering wheel as bad as the fronts that we had just rotated to the back. We just passed 29,000 miles on the tires and we are past due for a new set , even though we still have probably 30-40% tread remaining
Mastercraft's Courser MXT is a mud terrain tire that's designed for use on light trucks and other off road vehicles and offers drivers aggressive off road traction plus excellent onroad handling.
Features & Benefits
Tread is designed for use in mud and other off-road terrains
Outlined White Letter (OWL) or Black sidewall, depending on the tire's size
Conquering mud, dirt, and other off road trails is a must for some drivers, but they need to make sure that their tires can get them there and perform off road. Fortunately, Mastercraft designed the Courser MXT with these drivers in mind as it offers strong on and off road capabilities. More rubber is put on the road to optimize traction and enhance driving feel, and the Courser MXT's aggressive tread design further increases traction in off road applications. Traction edges on alternating shoulder elements provide additional biting edges to enhance grip, and the wide grooves between the Courser MXT's outer tread blocks force out mud, rocks, and other debris for continuous grip. Able to be pinned with studs for traction in icy and snowy conditions, the Courser MXT's sipe pattern increase control in wet weather on and off road.

Yes, the Mastercraft Courser MXT does perform well in wet weather thanks to a dense network of deep sipes that boost traction on wet pavement or in thick mud both.
