Tire question

Just wanting opinions on tire brands. I'm looking for a set of either Goodyear silent armor tech. LT 245-75-R17, or possibly Mickeys that are LT 265-70-R17 MTZ Radial. I have had previous experience with the Goodyear ATS and loved them. Just wondering how they compare to Mickey's and BFG's

The only set of Mickey's I have had taught to me never put them on a daily driver. My Baja's were just as rough and twice as bouncy as my RVT's. I hear the radials are better.

I just put 285 70 17 Goodyear silent armors on mine. So far I like them alot but I havn't tried them in the mud or snow yet. I wanted something different than the BFG AT's.

Thanks for the input. I am looking at some Mickey Thompson MTZs. I'm going to a 265-70-17 from a 245-75-17. I'm also going to be looking at the Cooper ST and STT. Trying to keep a local factory going here in Ohio. I've had a great experience with Goodyear Wrangler ATS on my old 2000 5.4 F-250 got about 48000 miles on them when I traded the ol' girl in.
