In actual mud? Obviously not nearly as well as mud tyres but a bit better than slicks. Excellent on typical/rideable bridalway mix of rocks, gravel, grass, packed mud and a little wet mud. Not as quite grippy as things with sideknobz like Riddlers/Raddlers or similar but predictable and much better on lighter surfaces and the road. I rate them.

They have these tightly packed small knobs so if it is really muddy they bog up. But so do most tyres that don't have a big and generously spaced tread pattern. In my opinion they shed the dirt reasonably well again when they get the chance. I don't tend to send it through deep mud and puddles on this bike so I am perfectly fine with that. They excel in dryer conditions and mixed surfaces. I did the 2020 P&L New Forest trip and Brother in the Wild'20 on them. Felt completely comfortable and safe.

You can't beat an mtb thread in mud ,
but I wouldn't use a tyre with less than 4/5mm left of knobs mtbing.I was wary of them initialy,
I venture far too often in mtb territory,
go mountainaring and skiing regularly biking up.
They 'll be hard to beat.

A glowing report on Schwalbe all round tle.
I have just retired the rear,
700x35,
rider 70kg,
35 psi
no visitations.
The way it wears out is surprising,
the 2 central knobs just vanish,
the wear then slows wayyy down.
The little knobs offer incredible traction even on snow,
and icy roads.
There are 14 knobs along the paper in the picture ,
when the 4 central ones are gone,
traction then drops sharply.
Cuts are rare ,
I have pictured the worst.
I could use them on the road a little more.
