Do paddle tires do good in the mud?

some look like they would but in reality paddle tyres are far too soft for any sort of mud.

Sand tyres are designed to 'float' over the soft surface of the sand whilst others aim to dig through the very soft sand with out going too much into the wetter parts.

They do this through soft rubber.

Mud needs brute force and power, as well as, great controll. Tyres like Simex Extreame treckers or the more affordable Maxxis Buckshots have a very tough rubber construction and will not be torn very easily; the trepadors are even tougher than these but I wouldn't reccomend them.

Mud tyres are designed to dig through the masses of slop (usually half a car deep where I go) and get down to the firm rock/mud below but they are designed to be so tough not only for grip but also to cope with sticks, rocks or any other sharp things you encounter on the trails.

All in all paddles tyres are meant for sand not mud.
