tires?

which tire should i go with for looks they are going on 18" helos

toyo MT 325 60 18

Mickeythompson ATZ 325 60 18

Nitto terra grappler 325 60 18

Toyo AT 325 60 18

i like the look of the toyos and the mickeys the best, but im concerned about how the mickeys will do in mud and how long they will last?

I think the mickeythompson ATZ will do pretty good in mud, But if they make the MTZ in your size I would go with those, there sweet.

No all terrian tire is gonna work great in the mud. The Toyo MT probably has the best road manners of any mud terrian.

I have the toyo A/T, they look good, they are quiet and they have been wearing well. But I wouldn't recommend them for the mud at all...
good luck

hey, thumper, if i go with the toyo's, in the 33 inch size, how far will the stick out with those rims, i have seen the picture with your tires on there and they stick out about 2 inches. the toyo is 33x12.7x18.

also, with the new wheels and tires, does the truck sit up any higher or not that much from the stock height

I got a bud with 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Claw radials on his truck...

Great off-road/mud tires and great road manners...

Figured I'd throw my 2 cents in here too.

Well they'll stick out a little bit less than mine. Mathmatically they should .8" less than mine.

Toyo MT!!! A mud tire with good road manners.... you cant beat that. If you go AT I think the Nittos look alot better than the Toyos... But thats just me.

I have about 2k on my Mickey Thompson ATZ's 325/60/18's. I love them. I love the look and the way they handle. They work great in mud and highway I can hardly hear them. Plus I think the tread pattern looks sweet when you ride behind it.

Rucraz, i know they are not a mud tire, but how do you think those mickeys would compare to the BFG Ats in the mud?

Also, how are they wearing, mickeys are known to be soft?

The older Baja Belted tires were known for being soft and wearing quickly.
