Anyone running Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's?
I'm normally a strictly BFG person, but fancied a change and would like to know what the road noise is like on Mickey Thompson stuff. The BFG MT KM2's were very quiet as they have to pass EU rolling noise limit, but I don't know if the USA has this?

I have a set of ATZ and they are easily as noisy as BFG MT. I've swapped back to BFG AT now and am much happier. www.td5.org

i currently run 285/75r16 mickey thomsons baja claws radials on my 90 I've had these on my truck now for over 3 years and am well, very impress with them

ive used these on all ground conditions on pay n play to green lanes all over the uk eg wales north to south derby shire lake district north Yorkshire

on road handling is superb as good as if not better than my previous tyres general grabbers AT's

road noise i can't comment i run with no sound deading and a straight through 200tdi
they wear a bit quick for first 3 k about 3mm ok after this

this bit i will rank 1 being lowest 5 being highest and i am comparing them to greenway anacondas tyres ive ran in the past

off road with Baja claws

rocks - 5 (unbelievable)
gravel - 5
green ice (grass) - 3
clay - 2 (Meh)
mud - 4
mud ruts - 4 (side lugs work surprisingly well)
deep thick mud - 2 (cant beat me anacondas when its gets thick)
sand - 4
snow + ice - 5 (flabbergasted)
