I had Baja ATZs in 35 and they were a bit loud, but great tires. Lasted about 50k mi.  I switched to toyo AT 2 - cheaper and a lot quieter...

It's been awhile, but depending on size, mine would catch every rut and line in the road. And they were very loud at highway speed. This was on an older truck, no lift but not the greatest steering with stock tires.

Expensive loud road tire. :twocents: Trailered rig for off road only would be great.

Not enough  info. What size and rig
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Brother had them on his Jeep . 25000 miles tops was what he got out of them ,  hated them in snow , ice and mud.

I've heard they wear pretty good on lighter rigs not full size

Not the Mickeys but put some Dick Cepek Extreme Country (made by Mickey T) on my hunting rig this season and they are killer in the mud and not too loud on the highway.

I had the baja claws on my CJ-5 they were great offroad, onroad the whole jeep sucked...I had the MTZ on a F150 and I got close to 60k miles on them........I thought those were great on and off road.......run Duratracs on my Yota and F150 now and they have moved to my best tire ever.
