    NEXEN Roadian MTX, Mud Terrain Tire with Dual Sidewall Design for Trucks & Jeeps

    The Mud Terrain Tire That Does It All, Including Looking Great Doing It

    The NEXEN Roadian MTX is NEXEN’s most advanced and capable mud terrain tire, and it separates itself from the Roadian MT and the wider MT category in three important ways: a broader size range, heavier-duty construction, and a first-of-its-kind dual sidewall design that lets drivers customize the look of the tire on their vehicle. This is a mud terrain tire built for the driver who demands maximum off-road performance, heavy hauling capability, and the kind of aggressive aesthetic that makes a statement on and off the trail.

    With a perfect 10 out of 10 off-road performance score, a standard 3-ply construction on most sizes, F-load weight ratings on select fitments capable of supporting over 4,000 lbs per tire, and a patented tread block design that minimizes road noise for a mud terrain tire, the Roadian MTX is engineered to exceed expectations across every dimension of its category. It is equally at home daily driving a lifted Jeep Wrangler to work and crawling rocks on the weekend, a balance that real-world owners have confirmed repeatedly in five-star reviews across the Roadian MTX’s growing customer base.

    Available in 36 sizes spanning 15-inch through 22-inch rim diameters, in popular flotation sizes including 33X12.50, 35X12.50, 37X12.50, and 37X13.50, the Roadian MTX covers virtually every popular truck, Jeep, and off-road build fitment on the market. All sizes are Q speed-rated and feature black sidewalls, with both conventional LT metric and traditional flotation sizes available across the lineup.

    Roadian MTX Performance Ratings

    The MTX’s rating profile builds on the Roadian MT’s foundation with improvements in comfort and tread life that reflect its more advanced engineering, without giving a single point on off-road capability.

    Off-Road, Rated 10/10

    A perfect 10 out of 10 for off-road performance matches the Roadian MT’s top score and reflects the MTX’s aggressive tread design credentials. Deep, wide primary grooves provide the void space needed to pack mud, grip loose terrain, and self-eject debris as the tire rotates. The MTX’s open shoulder design extends traction beyond the main tread footprint, biting into trail edges and providing the lateral grip critical for crawling, rock articulation, and side-hill maneuvering. The result is maximum off-road performance across mud, rock, loose dirt, gravel, and soft terrain.

    Braking, Rated 8/10

    An 8 out of 10 braking score confirms the Roadian MTX maintains strong stopping performance on wet and dry pavement, a meaningful capability for the daily drivers and highway travelers who run mud terrain tires year-round. Its wide grooves, designed primarily for off-road mud evacuation, deliver effective water channeling on pavement that supports anti-hydroplaning performance and controlled wet-road braking.

    Tread Life, Rated 7/10

    A tread score of 7 out of 10 marks a meaningful improvement over the Roadian MT’s 6, reflecting the MTX’s more advanced construction and compound formulation. The 3-ply sidewall and F-load reinforcement that give the MTX its heavy hauling capability also contribute to structural stability that supports more even wear across the contact patch. Real-world owners report solid tread retention with proper rotation and maintenance, with one Nissan Titan XD owner noting good wear after approximately 9,000 miles, with the tires looking and feeling well-conditioned.

    Comfort, Rated 7/10

    A comfort score of 7 out of 10, one point above the Roadian MT’s 6, is where the MTX’s patented tread block design earns its distinction. NEXEN’s engineering specifically addressed highway road noise in the MTX’s development, resulting in a mud terrain tire that real-world owners describe as surprisingly quiet for the category. Owners who daily drive the MTX report that the tire handles highway commuting with composure that exceeds expectations for a tire with this level of off-road aggression.

    Fuel Efficiency, Rated 6/10

    Fuel efficiency scores a 6 out of 10, consistent with the rolling resistance characteristics of a deep-lug mud terrain tire in the 3-ply, F-load construction range. The wide voids and aggressive tread blocks necessary for extreme off-road performance inherently create higher rolling resistance on pavement, an expected and accepted trade-off for drivers who prioritize trail capability.

    Dual Sidewall Design, Customize Your Look

    One of the Roadian MTX’s most distinctive features is its dual sidewall design, which gives drivers the ability to choose how their tire looks on the vehicle. Each tire is manufactured with two distinct sidewall aesthetics, one featuring an animal-themed aggressive design and the other a machine-themed graphic. When mounting, drivers can choose which sidewall faces outward, personalizing the appearance of their truck or Jeep without any additional cost or modification. This is a unique feature in the mud terrain category that reflects NEXEN’s commitment to combining performance engineering with driver-focused design.

    3-Ply Construction & F-Load Rating, Built for Heavy Hauling

    The Roadian MTX’s standard 3-ply design and F-load (12-ply equivalent) weight rating on select LT sizes deliver the structural reinforcement that serious towing and hauling applications require. LT sizes in the MTX lineup support maximum single loads up to 4,080 lbs, capable of handling the demands of heavy-duty trucks, overland builds, and commercial off-road vehicles that carry significant payloads or tow trailers over rough terrain. The reinforced sidewall construction also provides meaningful protection against punctures and sidewall damage from trail debris, rocks, and stumps, a critical durability factor for dedicated off-road use.

    Size Range, 36 Sizes from 15″ to 22″

    The Roadian MTX offers one of the broadest size ranges in NEXEN’s off-road lineup, with 36 sizes covering 15-inch through 22-inch rim diameters. Popular flotation sizes include 33X12.50R15 through 37X13.50R22, while LT metric sizes span from LT 235/85R16 through LT 305/70R18 and LT 295/65R20. Ply ratings across the lineup range from 6-ply to 12-ply, depending on size, with tread depths reaching 21/32″ on flotation sizes, among the deepest available in a street-legal mud terrain tire.

    Roadian MTX Warranty, NEXEN Total Coverage

    The Roadian MTX is backed by NEXEN’s Total Coverage Warranty, which includes 36 months of roadside assistance and a 60-day / 1,000-mile free trial period, giving buyers the confidence to evaluate the tire in their specific vehicle and conditions before committing. As a mud terrain tire, it does not carry a mileage-based tread wear warranty or road hazard warranty, consistent with industry standards for the MT category.

    FAQs: Light Truck Mud Terrain Tires

    What type of tire is the NEXEN Roadian MTX?

    The NEXEN Roadian MTX is a mud terrain (MT) tire designed for light trucks, Jeeps, and off-road vehicles. It earns a perfect 10 out of 10 for off-road performance, features a standard 3-ply construction with F-load ratings on select LT sizes, and includes a unique dual sidewall design that allows drivers to choose between two distinct sidewall aesthetics. It is Q speed rated and available in 36 sizes from 15-inch to 22-inch rim diameters.

    What is the dual sidewall design on the Roadian MTX?

    The Roadian MTX features two different sidewall designs on each tire, one with an animal-themed graphic and one with a machine-themed graphic. When a tire is mounted, the driver can choose which sidewall faces outward, giving them control over the visual appearance of the tire on their vehicle. This feature is unique in the mud terrain category and adds a level of personalization not typically available on off-road tires.

    How does the Roadian MTX compare to the Roadian MT?

    The Roadian MTX is the more advanced and capable of the two mud terrain tires in NEXEN’s lineup. Both earn a perfect 10/10 for off-road performance, but the MTX improves on the Roadian MT in comfort (7 vs. 6), tread life (7 vs. 6), and size range (36 sizes vs. 2 sizes). The MTX also adds the dual sidewall design, 3-ply construction, F-load ratings, and a 60-day / 1,000-mile free trial that the Roadian MT does not offer. The Roadian MT is focused on a classic compact fitment (15-inch only), while the MTX covers 15-inch through 22-inch in a comprehensive range of both flotation and LT metric sizes.

    Is the Roadian MTX good for daily driving?

    Yes, with appropriate expectations for a mud terrain tire. The Roadian MTX scores a 7 out of 10 for comfort, notably higher than most MT competitors, thanks to its patented tread block design that reduces highway road noise. Real-world owners who daily drive the MTX on lifted Jeeps and trucks consistently report that the tire handles street and highway driving with more refinement than expected for its level of off-road aggression. Fuel economy and road noise will be higher than those of an all-terrain or highway tire, but the MTX is among the most livable mud terrain tires available for daily use.

    What load ratings does the Roadian MTX come in?

    The Roadian MTX is available in 6-ply, 10-ply, and 12-ply load ratings depending on the size. Select LT sizes with 10-ply and 12-ply construction carry F-load ratings capable of supporting up to 4,080 lbs per tire in single fitment, suitable for heavy-duty towing, hauling, and demanding off-road and overland applications. The 6-ply flotation sizes (33X12.50R15 and 35X12.50R15) are designed for lighter builds and standard truck applications.

    Does the Roadian MTX come with a free trial?

    Yes. The Roadian MTX includes a 60-day / 1,000-mile free trial under NEXEN’s Total Coverage Warranty. If you’re not satisfied with the tire’s performance within that period, you can return it under the program’s terms, giving buyers meaningful peace of mind when investing in a full set of mud terrain tires for a truck or Jeep build.
