I had some bridgestone mud duellers for 60000 miles+ and sold the car with them. Mainly they were on an unladen series 111 landy 2 1/4 petrol so not huge amounts of power to wear them out but I was still impressed. These were in 7.50 R16 on lwb rims with tubes, everyday driver in the UK with greenlaning and muddy weekend trials. Prior to that I had a CJ7 Jeep 4.2l 3sp, 3" lift and 33*12.5*R15 Yokohama Mud Diggers which looked cool but for clayey mud there was too much flotation/ too little weight for them to dig properly. The little landy made mud almost boring, so little fuss did it make of driving through everything!!! 
Anyone remember possibly a Top Gear from a while ago with Clarkson stuck on someones big estate surrounded by posh 4*4 stuff all stuck. The estates game keeper drove past, around then uphill past them, parked up to see if they needed a hand in a swb ser11/111? Made everone laugh, was 20years older than the whizz bang stuff they were in!
This in reality was just another illustration that heavy posh 4*4s on road biased too-fat tyres won't get far in the mud despite fancy electronics!
