What do you think would be the best tire from these choices:

THE MICKEY THOMPSON ATZ-T 33X12.50/17 $669.00 A SET PLUS SHIPPING
THE NITTO TERRA GRAPPLER 295/70/17 $679.00 A SET PLUS SHIPPING
THE MICKEY THOMPSON MTZ-T 33X12.50/17 $699.00 A SET PLUS SHIPPING

OR

Is there another tire that would be comparable. I'm looking for an aggressive tread, but also long lasting.

These will be mounted on a 2005 4x4 with eagle 187's 17x9.

 

I can't speak directly to those Mickey Thompson's, but I run the FCII and am extremely happy. 60,000+ miles about 30% tread left - again, I don't know about the models you want, but the FCII has been wonderful! Been using this tire since the early 80s and have always been happy.

 

About how much do they run for a set?

 

nitto, i jus got a set on my truck and their awesome, glad i got them, little road noise and they make a hell of a difference in the look, they look really beefy.

 

I like the ATZ not loud at all decent grip

 

About $200 a corner, so slightly more, but not a lot. They are made by Mickey Thompson and sold under the **** Cepek name.

In my estimation, this is the most under estimated tire on the market - I've run them in every terrain from Moab to deep snow. The only place they don't excel is heavy mud - but they even do OK there - the voids just don't clear like a mud tire. Great on road handling. I have 33x13.5x18 on my company truck, about to switch to 37s.

Again, I was using this tire and tread pattern back in the days when Armstrong tires made them and sold them under the "Norseman" name.

 

I run 33x12.50 MTZs on a 17x10 rim and I love them. They are quiet but do make the truck ride a little rougher. There are pictures of them in my gallery. I have put about 10,000 miles on mine and can't even tell any wear....my friend runs 36x15.50 MTZs on his diesel Excursion and can't tell any wear at 20,000mi. I have no regrets.

 

I would go with the nitto at's

 

Out of those, the Terra Grappler would be my choice. However, they are all good tires. Also, Cooper Tire manufactuers the Mickey THompson, **** Cepek and Pro Comp tires so the quality is virtually identical.

 

I did not know that Wandell.. Thanks for the info.
