315/70R17 Mickey Thompson MTZ
Just got the new tires installed yesterday! Makes the truck look like a real truck now, not just a rollerskate. They ride very well and have just a slight hum to them. I was really surprised at how quiet they are. They roll very smooth and took a normal amount of weight for a mud terrain tire. For anyone else who has these tires, what pressure are you running in them? Sorry no pics, my computer has so many virsuses on it that I can barely get onto the net.

I really like the looks of the MTZs, one of the best looking tires out there. I need something a little smaller than 315 to be able to get in my garage, and unfortunately these are not available in an E rating in a 33/12.5 X 17 or similar size. Thanks for the post, glad you are happy with the new tires.
Congrats on the tires!!

I have these tires and HATE them. Mine took alot of balancing weights and remounting to change their placement on the wheel, and they still have a little hop to them. They are noisy, and have a rough ride. I bought mine over the internet, so I had no recourse when I complained about them. I'll never buy a tire again that, #1; doesn't come out of a store in my neighborhood, and, #2; isn't a quality brand name.

I bet you they screwed you and stuck you with a bum set of tires knowing you wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

My 1st post. I have the 33" mtz's and like them. I even put them on the first day I got my truck! I run 45psi in all of them and it seems to be all right.

I ran the atz mickeys for a while and took them off. they were the 35/13.50/20. the tires looked awesome on my truck but they weigh around 80lbs each and it just drove all around bad. they made the truck look good but I was afraid they were going to eat the front end up in no time.

My 17" Toyos weigh 77 lbs each but I don't have any problems with their ride.

Ive got about 5000 miles on mine and I love them so far. I run about 55 in the front and 45 in the rear. But Im still trying to figure out what pressure i like best. Ill maybe have to try adding some pressure.

I put toyos on the truck after that. but I dont have the suspension stuff you do. I would think that would make a difference. I just have a $90 leveling kit. I want to upgrade that at some point, its on the list
