Mickey Thomspon Baja Belted Tires
Right now I'm still doing some preliminary work on what I'm going to do with my truck (at the same time I'm saving up) and I just had a question about the regular Mickey Thompson Baja Belted tires. First off, do these ride pretty smooth, like an all-terrain tire, or do they start to jar everything loose when one is coming to a stop like a mud tire does? Second, if anyone can help me out, how long do they usually last? Thanks for all your help.

Hey sdiesel, you're just a hop skip and a jump down RT42 from, I'm in Sunbury. I've got 34/11.50/17 MT Baja Belteds on and even a spare that still fits underneat. The ride is loud. Not loud like swampers or anything, but there is a good hum. Personally, I like it, but it can drown out your radio at low levels. The ride is smooth still, but at low speeds (like coming to a stop) you'll get just a little rattle. No, I've put on close to 10k on them in the past couple months (highway and lots of off roading) and not a sign of wear yet. You can check out some pics of the truck with them at http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4294274557

Sounds good MrScot. Thanks for the reply, you just gave me exactly what I wanted to know. A little hum isn't bad at all, I kinda like it, but with the General Grabber MT's that I was running, they were making a very bad vibration everytime I came to a stop after about 12,000 on them. Speaking of the area, I live almost right off Rt42, and I know that you live in the home of the Golden Eagles! lol Well, thanks for the help.

No prob sdiesel!
Tech - No rubbing. I did take a Saws-All to the front wheel well a little just to make sure it didn't rub at the bottoms. Now, when I go off roading tho, it bottoms out sometimes. I'm not exactly easy on the truck either, so a body lift is in the near future. They handle great in the rain. After those POS Goodyears that came with it, I was terrified to drive in the rain, but these, very enjoyable.
