Mickey Thompson Atz

Is anyone running Mickey Thompson ATZ.

How do you like them are they a good AT tire and what kind of life span do you get out of them.

I know in the past older M/T are know to be a fast wearing tire made of soft rubber, are ATX a harder compound that will last at least 40.000 to 50.000 miles ?.

Not sure how many mile i'll get out of them, but I put them on this past spring. After about 10K miles there really doesn't appear to be much wear. They are a little noisy at highway speeds, but they seem to perform well for me so far. I haven't had them in anything but sand and some snow before I put the truck away this winter. I have the 325/60/18's on my 04. They do rub just a bit at full turn, but they fill out the wheel well nicely. Take a look in my gallery and you can see how they look on the truck.

I've been trying to find some reviews of this tire for a while. I'm gonna be buying new tires soon and love the look of these.

The local 4x4 places say that they are very heavy and hard to balance. I'm very interested in anyone using them to chime in too.

Thumbs up

This is an awesome tire I have a fabtech 6" lift with 325-65-18 tires and it rides great,quiet and looks like it has no wear after 6000 miles. The reason it's so heavy is because it's a 10 ply tire so it will last for a very long time.Aloha!

I am also very interested in these tires for the same reasons: they are load rated E, come in great sizes that will work for our 18" wheels and look great! Anyone else with any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Kaipo - Any pics??

I am rolling on these ATZs, they are quite the tire. 325/60R18E (33x13.50)

They are heavy, tricky to balance, but all in all worth the added effort. 2.5 Fabtech leveling kit on an '05 PSD S/CAB. Mazzi wheels (18x10)
Pics are in my gallery

I put a set of 37 13.50 18 my truck 2 days ago so far they ride much better than my old BFG's AT 315 ? 17 I was going to get sa set of TOYO MT tire suppplyer screwed me over he said he had some but did not I waited 2 weeks for the TOYO's.

The tire dealer said this ATZ are 50000 mile tire so far I like them.

I had to trim my front bumper they hit when I turned the wheel I dont know why they hit I have a 6.5 inch lift the only thing I can think of is there wide.

The tire sure looks like it fills the wheel well very nice and gives the truck a good complete look not like with those under size BFG's that claim they where 35 inch tire that are in fact 34.3 inch tire.

The ATX are in fact 36.7 inch

Ive got 375/50R180 MT ATZ's installed on a '06 SD with a 2.5" Skyjacker front kit and 1/2" aluminum spacers. I also spaced the front bumper out 1/2" and slightly trimmed the inside of the fenders on the backsides. They only rub ever so slightly on max turns on angles, no big problems though.
