I just got a set of Mickey Thompson MTZ 33x12.5xr17. Im getting ready to take a trip to Colorado and Im going to try to spend as much time up in the mountians as possible. I was wondering if any of you guys on here have any experience with these tires in the snow??? I know they are GREAT in the mudd. Just wanting to know what to expect. THANKS

 

really knowbody has tried these tires out??

 

hmm i can ask cowboyup she has them and drives in the snow

 

i dont have much experience with these specific tires but i can say that i havent had much luck with M/Ts in the snow/ice in general

 

285/75/r16 MTZ's load range "E" here. They are bad *** in the snow, gravel, dirt and mud. Not so much on wet pavement or ice. In loose snow they are great.

I can go farther in 2wd with these tires than I could in 4wd with the old Goodyear Wranglers.

Some drawbacks worth mentioning.........

1. Loud tire on dry pavement
2. Hard to balance
3. Cost

I'd buy them again in a second, but not if i was going to drive on the highway long distances. If your truck stays off road or on back roads like mine they are a good choice.

If you do alot of highway driving consider BFG AT tires. They are great in the snow with better on road manors

 

Thanks for the info I already purchased the tires about 3 weeks ago and I LOVE them, the road noise doesnt bother me much the radio takes care of that but there amazing traction off raod is insame I do have to agree. I have noticed that they do like to throw rocks after driving slow down a gravel road. But overall I love them. I've just never had them in the snow and was wondering if they were going to pack up with snow and turn into a slick.
