I need your advice. I''m looking for good tires for snow and mud. I was thinking about Toyo 315/75R16 Open Country MT''s or Mickey Thompson MTZ. Does anybody have them and what is your experience with them? I''m also looking for new wheels. They dont have to be expensive, they will be only for off-roads so some package would be the best I think. Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Bohous

I''ve been offroading with them 7-8 times in everything from thick mud, sand, moss covered logs and wet sharp rocks and they have performed better than my previous MTRs, Pro Comp MTs, BFG MTs and BFG ATs. Great looking tire also. Balanced well and all last winter (Michigan) did great in the snow and pretty good in icy conditions. The factory siping makes a huge difference on wet slippery roads and rocks. Out of a 10 scale I''d give them a 9+.

If I would have looked at your profile I would have figured it out. 

Glad to see you over here for some posts.  Like I say every time, those MTZs on your truck are awesome!

KS Trekker's photo gallery 		One thing to keep in mind is the Toyo Open Country is a heavy tire. Per tire, they weigh about 14lbs more than my 35" Goodyear MT/R''s. That''s a pretty significant weight difference and could mean lower fuel economy and more front end breakage.

Believe it or not I got mine fro JC Whitney....they sent me a 15% off and free shipping email a while back and I couldn''''t pass up the deal. Right now I have no idea who has the best deal. Sorry.

Doc Olds:
I put the rack on for wheeling and camping trips for more cargo.

radak99's photo gallery 		Hey,

I''m looking for some winter/off road tires too.  Do you guys ever run into trouble running M/Ts in the winter?  I''m probably going to get these Nokian Vatiiva M/Ts...

http://www.kaltire.com/retail/tires/detail.php?kins=0106HVGY020HMG&tname=Light%20Truck%20Mud%20Terrain&title=Light%20Truck/SUV&type=LTMT&cat=LT/SUV

I''m going to stick to the stock size though 265/75/r16 for the stock 16 inch rims I picked up (gotta keep the chrome 18''s in the garage for the winter).  Any thoughts?

Status: offline 		I am in the same spot as you Bo. I need to replace the tires on my truck and will stay with the stock 285/75 16 size. I have looked at cooper stt and mickey thompson mtz. I am leaning toward the mickeys even though cooper probably makes them. I have found a price of $950.44 shipped for a set of 5. Is this a good price?? Also the company is performanceproducts4trucks.com. Has anyone done buisness with them?? good/bad?? One other thing with the mickeys is there is a $100 rebate through mickey thompson which would bring the price to $850.44. I am also concerned with the noise these may make or maybe I am overthinking this. My current tires bridgestone duelers are chopping real bad at 30k and are howing pretty good. I didn''t want to start a seperate tire thread and appreciate letting me chime in. Steve
