It's not often we see a proper off road tyre test, but this one by the South African Magazine "Drive Out" seems to tick all the boxes. It takes ten mud terrain (M/T) tyres in 265/75 R16, sticks them on a 4x4 Ford Ranger...

Our pick of tests in each category.
Before you choose
Start with the right season, tyre category and a relevant size. Check the vehicle and test conditions before applying a result to your own car.
A winner is the best fit for that test’s priorities. Compare wet braking, dry grip, comfort and efficiency: the gaps can matter more than the finishing order.
Where full measurements are available, open the charts or adjust the score weighting. Then visit the tyre page for other tests and feedback from drivers.
