Newest Mickey Thompsons launching in April!

[blnewt]

There was a thread on these a few months back but can't find it. Emailed Nick Roberto at Mickey Thompson and said they are scheduled to launch mid-April. These look to be a kick ass tire for those wanting a 3 peak snow rated AT w/ 50k mileage rating, aggressive sidewalls, and Mickey Thompsons' legendary off-road performance.

That article needs to show the tread pattern. And, since someone will ask, Mickey Thompson tires are made and owned by Cooper.

The previous post I was referring too did have the tread pattern, I'll dig around and see if I can find it. IIRC it was significantly more aggressive than other current ATs available.
Here is one image I found (and no, it's not the one on the left )

I’ve been waiting to see more about these before buying.

Now I want to know what sizes they’ll have. lol

I told him I was wanting 315/70/17 or 35x12.5x17 and he said they'd both be available, couldn't give any weight, tread depth, or load rating yet. Mickeys are typically on the lighter side though so I'm hopeful for a weight in the mid 60 lb range for those sizes, and hopefully a C or D to choose from.

Ran their Baja Belted & Baja King tires back in the early 80s, awesome tires back then and I'm sure they're still one of the best!

It looks like it’ll be popular so I hope they have a 34”.

probably a dumb question; Are the Baja Boss M/T snow rated?

I think only the A/T ones coming out in April are 3 peak snow rated

and now Goodyear

Wow! Looks like a great move by Goodyear. I’ve felt that their product line has stagnated over the last couple of decades.

Thing is...if Goodyear goes under or some foreign company buys them... there’s no other domestic manufacturer alternative. I don’t care for that idea. Cooper was doing something right, thus the interest in them. Goodyear doesn’t inspire confidence in my opinion. They were missing something and they haven’t been that brand you hear “Gotta get you some Goodyears” since the 70’s. Shrug, it can go either way. Let’s hope Goodyear doesn’t F it up.

I dunno, but
I kind of swear by my Duratracs driving up here in the north..

Wouldn't drive with anything else.

That’s gotta be one of their best tire products.

Interested in these for sure. Need to see what weights on the 35 and 37 are as I need to keep that rotational mass relatively low
