Hi all...

Me bugging you again.

I know its mostly personal preference when it comes to tyres but I've been given a pretty similar price with the mickey thompson mtz and the bfg m/t's. Getting them in 33x12.5r15 and getting them with rims so it will be expensive but I thought I'd see who prefers which brand.

I'm swaying towards the Mickey's at the moment. What is your preference?

so far so good, i think i want to be talked into the MTZ anyway.

What are they like when you air down, do they bag out or are the sidewalls too stiff?

I have MTZ's in 33's and have been happy with them. They don't seam to bag quiet as much as my old Goodyear MTR's though. I have found them fine on wet roads as well. Another difference compared to my MTR's is with the detroit locker on the road they don't squeal on corners like the MTR's did. Not that it is a big deal but the tyres squealing was unwanted attention. I have not used BFG's so can not compare. I chose the MTZ's over the BFG muds because I had heard of people having problems with the rim protector trapping mud in the bead and causing leaks.

I think I will go with the Mickey's!
