    These tires offroad are amazing. The traction you get on all terrain levels is pretty nuts. The thing that really surprised me was I had a bfg at ko before hand and when I put these on I actually stopped using 4x4 in many places because of the traction. When I did have to use 4x4 it was on stuff that was just to steep or was because my skill level was not up to parr. Now I purchased these simply cause I dont off road that much but the guy said they would not effect gas and would ride great on road, he was close to honest lol. I think they are a little too noisy for our trip. But if we were not going to spend 8+ hours a day 3 - 5 days a week in the truck I would keep them. Also on ice they dont do that great. If your on the highway and you are hitting ice patches they are poor, but on ice in the back country aired down to 20 psi or less they are awesome.

    The only real off roading I did with these was in snow and simply to run my huskies out in the back country. IN snow they did great compared to some others but in the real powdery stuff or wet stuff they dig in pretty crazy. I typically aired to 8-12 psi to counter this.

    When I did a couple of non snowy runs with a few local guys I pretty well out performed anything close to what set up I had except for one guy who had the KM2's and he was doing just as well but he had the air locker?

    IN my honest opinion these are great for a tire that you will not use in icy conditions that much. We live and plan on going in snow and ice and highway mostly.

    Depending on how you drive I would say a good 20K plus. If i used these like they are meant, maybe 10K lol but then I would have driven up Mt. Everest !

    ITs official, the Mickey Thompson MTZ Bahas are off the truck so I can sell these any time people. Also I talked to the tire guy and he said that they still had 90% Tread and no issues. I will have fresh pics up tomorrow, after I wash them ofcourse!
