How were they in the mud? Specifically did the bike slide to one side or the other when gassing it in a mud puddle? I'm going to need new dual sport tires soon.

They were "okay" in the loose mud. Slid quite a bit, so I wouldn't say these are GREAT for mud terrain. The dirt & gravel and "packed mud" in the puddles were fine.
