yes, more questions!!

What does everyone think of the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ? It looks like a great tire, but has anyone run them? I am looking for good mileage, and good offroad performance. There is aot of rock down here nad alot of mud, so I am looking for something streetable, but grea in those two areas

So far the MTZ's are getting good reviews. I think they are still too new to get an accurate milage estimate.

Getting roughly the same mileage I got with my pro-comp all terrains. They are alittle noisy though, yet I expected them to be worse. They do great in all conditions. Overall I'd give them a 9/10.

I just had some 35" MTZs put on about 2 weeks ago. Did some mudding and beach driving on monday. Awesome tire. Drove into a mudhole that had a deeper hole in the center of it had a wave of water over the hood and still pulled through the soup even with open diffs. Only downside is I lost 2mpg going from the 31s to 35s

well, I ended up ordering 285/75/16's and they should do alright, I am having 4.56 gears added next week and a limited slip put in at the same time. I have opn diffs now and I hate it. And I am surrently running a 265/75/1 Wild Country TXR and it wasent a bad tire, but didnt exactley give me what I wanted.
