Title: Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ.....
Post by: X-Treme on April 15, 2008, 09:14:37 PM

I see that there are a FEW members using these things, and I just wanna know what your "guys" think of them? All around? In the mud? In the SNOW? On the ICE? etc.

I love mine. I run them in 35" on 15x10 on my locked CJ and on snow and ice they are unstoppable. They are balanced with minimum weight. On the street they run fairly quiet and I am getting very even wear out of them. The rubber is soft enough for good traction, but without Interco style wear.  In deep mud and deep snow I air down to 10 PSI and it's very rare that I have to go over 1500 RPM to get out of any hole. I have climbed some of the most daring mud hills (widow hill comes to mind) and she just climbs like crazy. My co-pilot was so impressed with the performance of the tires compared to his BFG's that he had to have a set. One of my other friends liked them so much he bought AV9Inch's TJ with the MT tires on it.

When it comes time to put on a set of 33" on my ZJ they are going to be Mickey Thompson MTZ.

There has never been a disappointment about them.  Loved them for every type of wheeling I have done!!

I haven't had the chance to really try any other tires, but I'd buy another set of MTZ's in a heartbeat. Actually...I'm upgrading to 33x12.5x15's this summer. They've been great, even with open diffs!

Based on what I've read and seen, they're my next tire, only because the 35X10X15 LTB's won't be in ready supply for about a year
