Truck Guys - Tire Question
I gotta replace my tires here sometime and was lookin at the Mickey T's Baja MTZ's in a 285. I know Mickeys are nice and by comparison if they are only $40/ea more than BF's I might go in that direction.
Anyone have any experience with em? Are they loud on the road? Do they hold up well compared to the BF All Terrains?

I think the Mickey T's are a soft compound, if you are highway driving, I'd go another way, if you spend a majority of your time off road, they may be the ticket. Everyone raves about the Nitto's being the best tire, we joke about them being the choice of "mall crawlers" everywhere. I'm running Michilens on all our vehicles(except for the dually) and have had great luck with them. That being said, the most off road any of them are doing is a gravel drive way. I just put two Firestones on the Dually(E rated LT235/85 16) If I knew I would be driving it more, I would have put Michelins on it, but I think they will dry rot before I get any mileage out of them. BFG all terains were always one of my favorites, they look good, ride great, quite adn seem to last. Of course its been 15 years since I had a set

I have never considered mickey thompson tires to be anything special.... wear fast on road and not aggressive enough off road..
Imho Michelin makes the best longest lasting tires for general purpose and heavy duty use driving primarily on the road..... for dual purpose BFG (I have 255/85r16E BFG MT's on my dually which sees a lot of heavy towing and a lot of muddy pipeline right of way) are my choice and for mostly off road Interco all the way. Nitto... The only thing the do better than their competition IMHO is reduce weight in your rear pocket. For performance I have Kumho's on my BMW and have been VERY happy with them even tho they seem to wear a little fast.

I have approx 40,000 miles on my Yokohama tires on my truck. They have plenty of life left in them and they actually work well on the beach and even in the mud.

Thanks guys. I have Mich's on there now and while I will agree they are great on the road they absolutely suck when I get on my huntin lease. The first little bit of mud and they are caked up and start spinning. Thats to be expected from what they call a M/S tire that has the aggressiveness of a field mouse.
I gotta find a better tire to get me through the nastier stuff..... What kind of Yoko's do yall have
