lol..

 

I found a set of (4) 285/75/16 Mickey Thompson ATZ's for $995 shipped. Does that sound like a good price guys and/or where are you guys buying your shoes from?

 

That doesn't sound too bad... They are online most places for $220-$285.

Make sure you see what type you are getting... there are different types of ATZ's.

4wheelparts.com has them from $246-$274 and only $49.95 for shipping.

Make sure you compare....

 

I can't find anyone who has the MTZ's in 285/75/16 with blackside walls.. They're all "white outlined letter."

Is this a size thing? Are the MTZ's not made black sidewall in 285/75/16?

 

I am looking at the "traditional" size type. I see the radial plus but not too sure what the difference is.

Mickey Thompson Baja Radial ATZ Tires


I'll be honest, the more I look at these tires, I am really liking the Dick Cepek Mud Country tires. I think I might go with them but concerned with how long they will last vs the ATZ.

I need to buy some asap since my inspection is due in August and I'm down to the wear bars on my current tires. Plus, I'll get a better deal right now during the summer months (or I assume).

 

Most people have them mounted inside out with the white lettering in.
After a while the white lettering gets really dirty and just about disappears.
Mine (Duratrac's) have been on for about a year and the white is gone.

If you want to get rid of the white immediately, go over the white with a black permanent marker.

 

Go look in the offroad fury thread.... Jack has DC's on his H3T.... they look great....

 

Just have them mounted inside out (white letters in). Most tire shops will have the black "stain" to cover the white letters.

ATZs (Mickey Thompson part# 5363 LT285/75R16) come in the standard which have 4 rows of tread and the ATZ Plus (Mickey Thompson part# 5163 LT285/75R16) which has 5 rows of tread. 4 rows are "true" ATs and the 5 rows are like a passenger car tire. Make sure you order the 4 row. I'm thinking that you priced the ATZ Plus not the ATZ. haven't seen nor heard of the ATZs (Mickey Thompson part# 5363 LT285/75R16) going for under $270ea in a 285/75R16.

Hope this helps fellas!

What about the STZ?

 

They look to be about as agressive as the stock Adventure Dunlops. I'm not a fan of the sidewall look either. Looks like a passenger car tire. Just my opinion.
