Greatest tires I ever had

So the new Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ's I bought to replace my Nitto's are AWESOME! They ride nicer and smoother, but are only slightly noisier on the highway, but are ALOT more aggressive than the Nittos. I LOVE these things they are twice the tire the Nittos are, I don't know about wear, but they tow great and make the truck ride like a caddy! I went from a 325/60/20 Nitto Grappler to a 35/13.5/20 Mickey The mickey's are actually slightly shorter (1/2") and slightly wider (3/4") too.

Let me know how long they last. I'm gonna be in the market for some new rubber. My Coopers didn't last that long.

I'm thinking of trying the Swamper Trxxus STS. One of the few 35 12.50 17 A/T tires with a high weight rating that I could find.......

Guess I'm the exception. I've got 20k miles on them and they've still got 75% or more tread. They have a 50k mile treadwear warranty -- only tires in this class that seem to. They seem to be wearing quite nicely. I know they've had some issues in the past but these Discoverer ATR's have been good to me.

So far BFG T/A KO's have lasted the longest for me, but they aren't exactly round, never have been.

I've got about 7,000 on my Pro Comp Xtreme AT's and I'm completely happy at this point with the performance and aggressiveness of these things! And they're not wearing very fast at all comparing to the BFG's, BFG KO's, and Discoverers.
Absolutetly love them!
