despite the name...the mudhooks do seem like more of a radial than mud tires to me because they would perform well in all conditions and would probly ride just aswell on hardpack as stok tires but got more grip for the mud.....a good all-around tire IMOI looked at the Bridgestone MudHooks. PRICEY $$$ and I am leaning more towards a radial than a bias. But if they last as long as the OEM Bridgestone DirtHooks have they are a strong contender for the next set.
