Tires???
 
About to splurge on some new shoes for the truck and I'm leaning towards the Mickey Thompson MTZ or the **** Cepek Crusher. Anybody running these tires? Pros and cons??

Interco will never get another dime of my money. I had a 35x15x10 SSR radial split in half on me while doing 70 down the interstate. Never again.

I ran 'em for years with no problem. Everything from 35-44".

Red Devil 07-05-2010 12:16 PM

I also ran them for years from 35-38". The TSL's, TSL SX, and the SSR's until that one split wide open. That day, I vowed to never own another Super Swamper/Interco product again.

I got the Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ Radial's on my truck and I love 'em. I got 30K miles on 'em and they still look new, got a 50K mile warranty on 'em from the manufacturer. I think I paid $1200 for 'em last year. I have the ones in the first pic but my next set will be the bottom pic. They're both the Baja ATZ Radial but mine are the Radial Plus, they have that extra ridge that runs all around the center of the tire.

I used to have the **** Cepek all terrains. They were some good tires. Now I have BFG Mud Terrain KM2's. I won't buy anything else from now on. Ride great and will hold up for a long time. I have 25,000 on them and still look brand new. My buddy has some with 50,000 on them and they still in good shape. But they about $1500 for a set. Firestone Destination's are also a good tire.

I would go with the Mickey T's, those **** Cepek's just look like a show tire to me.
