Can't say ENOUGH good things about these 305/55/20 Mickey's !!!!!!!!!!!

The look is out of this world, and the exclusivity is better than any Toyo or Nitto out there !

rms8,

The do look fantastic for sure. Nice combination. Not over the top but definitely meaty. I'm sure they run great on the street.

I can't say enough good about the BFG AT's, they last longer and get better traction than any other all terrain I've tried. I run a set on my F-150, F350 Powerstroke, and 86 Bronco. I also run the new KM2's on my 69 Bronco and love them. For the money you can't beat them!

I 100% agree.

The BFG's ultimately were my second choice, for no other reason than I wanted to give these Mickey's a try and the fact that the Mickey's look just as (if not more so???) aggressive as the BFG's.

I had a Set of the BFG AT's on my 2000 Lariat and absolutely loved them. The 305/55/20 BFG and Mickey cost roughly the same so I simply wanted to try the "newer" tire. I am 100% happy with my decision thus far.

ONE SIMPLY CANNOT GO WRONG WITH EITHER OF THESE TIRES.

Not sure how you get the impression BFG ATs or BFG Muds are a problem in a high heat environment such as Arizona. It's been a lot of years now, but back in the 90s I ran BFG ATs on an old International Harvester in Tucson for 5 years. Friends of mine from school had BFG Muds on their F100s and Jeeps...

Do you guys have Tire Kingdom out there? I got my 35x12.50R18 BFG M/T KM2s for $292 a tire there in October, and last time I was there for rotation that price still held. Right at $1400 out the door for tires, install, lifetime balance/rotate and road hazard.

It's all about speed. Average speeds in Phoenix hover anywhere between 70-80 MPH in 110° heat on rubberized pavement. Even car tires get taxed in this environment.

Add the heavier tread and wider tires with taller sidewalls and you can see why a blowout is more probable.

I had the Mickey Thompsons on my F150 and loved them. I have the Toyo M/T's on my F250 and love them. You really can't go wrong with either one.
