Whats the difference
I just put new rubber on my truck 32x1150r15 Les Schwab Wildcat All Seasons.
this is probably a question for the people of the North West.
What I want to know is whats the difference between these and the Mickey Thompson MTXs???? They look, for the most part, identical other than the price. What am I missing?

I don't know about the Wildcat's in particular but I had Les Schwab Wildcountry's on my truck, 33's and they were a great tire for an all terrain tire. If the Wildcat's are anything like them you'll be happy.

My guess is the brand name, sonce les Schwab doesn't really manufacture tires. We've got Wild countries on the '93 and have been real happy with them (for the last 60K miles or so). Good all-around tire. Glad you mentioned it- we're coming up on tires again soon.

I like'em, when I read the specs of the MTX and the light came on, they look remarkably like the Wildcat.
Arn't the tires from Les Schwab made by Toyo (I know the Open Countrys and a few others are).
I really wanted 33s but couldnt fit them under the front so I stuck with the 32s, the night I got them I went out onto a few muddy and slick ditch bank roads and the tires were flawless, they out performed the Wild Country Tractions that were on there previously.
goes to show you don't always need name brand tires to do what is needed

If you've seen the Baja MTX the Wildcats are about the same minor variations,
Here's a link to both:

re: here is the current model
That is this tire:

Any tire with "Wild Country" in the name is probably a Multi-Tire. They brand them for many smaller merchants that do not actually make their own tires.
"If you can find this tire cheaper anywhere else we will beat the price by 10%".
Oh yea, we forgot to tell you we are the only ones that will have a Wildcountry ZYXBD2 Extreme Traction in stock because we pay for that name to be put on a regular Wild Country XTX carcass.
