I have the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's. They even stay on as my daily driving as well. Low road noise and off road will run circles around most with their superior traction. I highly reccomend them!

thanks! they are 35x12.5x17 I agree with hummer mike, very low road noise on road, plus there is alot of siping so they have better road handling charactoristics than most mud terrains. Off road they are hard to beat.

Thanks guys for the reassurance, I've put them on order, just too bad it's backordered so I won't see it for another 4-6 weeks.

Import Killer, what's the offset on your rims? the rims that I ordered are 17 x 9 w/ an offset of +18, I believe the stocks are 7.5? wide with an +38 offset, so I'm already expecting it to stick out (not sure by how much though), we have recon here so the DMV is a stickler when it comes to tires sticking out of the fender wells...

my rims are +12 offset, they stick out but not a major amount, you can tell by these pics.

Thanks for the pix! It helps so that I kinda of know what to expect. What exactly are the offset numbers in reference to measurement? mm, cm, if anyone knows.

If your rims are the same width or narrower than the ones that I ordered (17x9 +18 offset), theoretically my set up should look the same if not a little less out of the fender well (since the offset (+18) is closer to the stock +38).

The tread on those tires are kickin'!!! I can't wait.

btw, nice light mod on the front. Thanks Again!

thanks for the compliments!

The offset numbers I believe are in millimeters. My rims are the same size as the ones you orderes except for the offset. Mine are 17x9 +12 offset

Thanks AGAIN IK. With all the variables (rim width, offset, blah, blah) I was starting to get a headache! I can now sleep in peace.

Is anyone using or have opinion on that old Redneck mud tire standard.. The Buckshot Mudder...

I can get a set of 315/75-16 semi locally for $600 installed.. Or on Ebay (same place) shipped for that price..
