I found a deal on these in 12.50x33x17 for about $650.00 mounted and balanced. They are factory blims but I have not been able to see anything wrong with them. Only thing is they are D rated instead of E rated. Should I let that worry me? What kind of milage are you getting out of them for those running them? I am getting them installed at 10:30 in the morning. They are giving me $100.00 for my factory BFG's with 40,000 miles on them. Does it sound like I am getting a fair deal? Also thinking about a leveling kit but haven't seen a truck with this size tire leveled so I am not sure if the tire will look too small with it leveled. What do you guys think?

 

D rating is fine. Thats what I run.
Sounds like a good fair deal.

 

Since you said they were factory blems, make sure they are not out of round or the weighted such that they won't balance. Otherwise, sounds like a good deal.

 

Yup, if the tires are indeed fine that is a pretty good deal. I paid $950 mounted and balanced for a set of 315/70R17 MTZs a month ago. So far I have about 1,000 miles on them with two highway trips and I like them a lot. They aren't too loud, but do have that mud-tire "warble". So far I can't really comment on wear except that they still look pretty much new

Oh, and they look !

 

Check these out!

 

I have ran D rated for 47k and tow heavy, have a slide in camper, etc. I got 40k out of my mud terrains (could have stretched another 8-10k out of them, but I like to haveplenty of traction for the things I do). you will be fine. I am now running d rated coopers and they have been awesome, quiet (for the aggressive tread) and are incredible in mud, snow, sand, etc.

the blem issuse is probably nothing but a crooked lettering or something. I buy blem snowboards, wakeboards all the time and they have something so simple wrong with them. nothing more than a graphic wrong, mispell, etc.

I love my mickey thompson MTZs sounds good

 

Thanks guys. I feel better about them now. They will be on in about 4 hours now. Maybe I can put a picture up in the next few days.

 

You'll like them. I can't for it to snow around here (if it ever gets below freezing!) to try them out.


This is a bad picture of the MTZs on my truck, FWIW....

 

I just put a set of blems on a buddys 06 33x12.50x17s. I dont think they ride QUITE as good as my buckshots but it is close and the rubber compound is softer. They look great and I think my next set will be 35 mtz.

If it makes you feel any better we paid 700 mounted and balanced + shippin.

 

Got them mounted today and so far the only problem is I wish I had went with the 315. They ride great but they still look a little small. Oh well, they do look good. I will run them a while and see how they work then if I decide I will pull them off while they still have lots of rubber and sell them for some 315's.

 

Where are you finding the MTZ blems.

Thanks,
Howling

 

I got mine from a offroad center that happens to be owned by the Dodge dealer where I bought my truck.
