What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 31 owner reviews found online.

The Cosmo Mud Kicker generally receives favorable reviews from users who praise its surprising road quietness, aggressive styling, and exceptional value for the price. While many highlight impressive traction in mud, snow, and off-road conditions, a few customers note concerns regarding premature cupping, balancing difficulties, and uncertain long-term treadwear.

Pros

  • Surprisingly low road noise for an aggressive mud terrain tire
  • Excellent traction in mud, snow, and off-road environments
  • High value and affordability compared to premium tire brands
  • Smooth and comfortable ride on dry and wet highways
  • Aesthetically appealing aggressive tread and sidewall design

Cons

  • Reports of premature tread cupping and wheel bearing-like noise after low mileage
  • Balancing issues requiring frequent maintenance for some users
  • Customer service and warranty fulfillment complaints from select buyers

Worth knowing

  • Users running 35x12.50R20 sizes on lighter vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler JK reported early tread cupping.
  • Heavy-duty truck owners running 12-ply sizes (such as 35/12.5/18 on a 9,200-pound Ram 2500) reported strong durability under heavy use.
  • Commercial snowplowers praised the tire's winter and snow-clearing capabilities over 25 years of experience.
