Newest Mickey Thompsons launching in April!

[blnewt]

Good to see that they kept the full tread depth and didn't cheap out at something around 15/32 like some brands have!

Mickeys have always been a leader and make tires ahead of their time. Ran M/T Baja Belted & Baja King tires back in the early 80s and they were the best back then too! Really looking forward to the reviews on these, I know they'll be exceptional!

Even though BFG has a shallower tread depth I look at them like I looked at typical summer performance tires for cars.

For the lower price...

-They might not last as long as others.

-They’re lighter which is desirable to most.

-They have a strong sidewall for being so light.

-And most reviews I’ve seen give a decent all around rating. Anyway, right or wrong, that’s where I was in the process.

I’ll probably help my daughter get some KO2’s.

Not just singling out the KO2. There are popular Nittos and Toyos that are running undersized tread depth for off road tires as well.. Many sizes of Ridge Grapplers, RTs and the new At3s come to mind.

Similar, looks like the MTs have a bit more spacing on the outer lugs and more aggressive sidewalls.

As far as Goodyear taking ownership over Cooper, Mickey Thompson, Dick Cepek. I'm not concerned about any quality downturn w/ any of those tires. I think what we'll see is less tire models per company, eliminating ones that aren't good sellers. I've got a feeling Dick Cepek may go away since their lineup has been shrinking the last few years. Mickey Thompson & Cooper have kept their lineup strong and their popularity seems to be on the uptick.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, I don't automatically see it as a bad thing. I'm sure they have plans to do some consolidation and that could hurt areas that have older plants or limited resources. Hopefully any issues will be minor and consumers and employees of the tire companies won't see much of a change.

I love my Nitto Ridge Grapplers 6 ply, quiet, & made in USA. Use them also on my Ram Power Wagon in !0 ply. Discount Tire has a good price, which includes Road Force Balancing.

Got my 35x12.5s on. Got 45k miles out of my last set let's see what these get me.

So looking at the Baja Boss AT vs the Baja ATZ P3, the ATZ looks a bit beefier. I almost wonder if I should jump on those while they are still around. Although I see conflicting reports on weight.

Are both 80 lbs?

Hard to say regarding weight, but if you can get those 37s for that 25% discount that might seal the deal. Regarding the ATZ being beefier, I really like the new sidewall biters on the Baja Boss AT, those look badass, but the tread block on the ATZ is badass too! So maybe it's a toss-up I think both tires are a huge win, but being the newest tire in the Mickey lineup I'm sure there's been some improvements in the overall function, tread life, road noise, and rubber compounds.
Looking forward to seeing the new ones on some members rides soon!

I agree the bosshas much better looking sidewall

 

[TomahawkChop]

What site did you pick these up from? I'm looking for a set of 35's.

I ordered those through 4WP that another member posted links for earlier in the post.

 

[Datjeeptho]

Anyone have a set of these yet? I really want to see some reviews before I pull the trigger. Not just reviews that Mickey Thompson has put together to try and eliminate bias.

All Terrains dont always have the grip and such of MTs so I want to hear how the grip is on the trails and mud and such.

They seem like a great option for when I go to 37s here soon.

Since he just got them installed I doubt he has too much time w/ them yet. Mickey Thompsons are a top tier tire, and this will be no exception. I wouldn't hesitate to get them, they are a bit on the heavy side though, I just got some Mickey ATZ P3s and the new ATs are few lbs more in the 315/70/17 size (66lbs to 72). FWIW the entire Mickey Thompson line are always top performers off-road, and have exceptional on road behavior too, especially for the aggressive tread blocks.

 

[Digger70]

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.

Nice. I just checked out their site and they have them in a 255/85r17. That's a nice pizza cutter size

Yeah, I'd imagine those would do real well for snow & mud "cutting", look forward to actually seeing them on a JL. FWIW here's a shot of the closest thing, that Kenda 35x10.5x17 pizza special

I know. I had those tires on my Gladiator. I even made my own thread about them on the Gladiator forums Kenda Klever R/T KR601 35x10.50R17 | Jeep Gladiator Forum - JeepGladiatorForum.com
