My bike has more mud on it than most off road vehicles and tyres are only 700x35c IIRC, may have been 37/38? Hybrid/Trekking bike, Boardman MTX 8.6, the suspension is most useful on the terrible roads we have in places.
It also has more mud on it than half of the bikes I see with tyres that are like 8cm thicc. Usually only see those in urban environments. Often go on gravel or dirt trails and there is the occasional muddy puddle. Nothing really extreme enough to need a mountain bike for.
