Mickey Thompson Baja King tires???

I just bought a used set of 36/13.5/16.5 Mickey Thompson Baja King tires off craigslist for $250. They still have good tread and aren't dry rotted. I have never heard of these in the 10 yrs I have been messing w/ lifted trucks, etc. I can't find anything on the internet about em either. My guess is that they were discontinued quite awhile back. Has anybody on here ever heard of em?

I've never seen those before. Must be a discontinued tire.

i did a little research and i think this was the Mickey Thompson Desert King before it was redesigned... There are some similiarities. The sidewall looks the same.

If this is so these tires are meant only for offroad use. just a heads up.

Ill keep looking.

the tires are DOT rated, so i don't think they're strictly for off road use. they've been ok on the road so far and ride really good on the interstate. lol anyway, lemme know if u find anything else. thnx.
