i really dont like the mickeys. buddy of mine ran some and got stuck everywhere. they dont throw mud off the tire like a bfg does. cant go wrong with BFG's in my opinion.

Looks like a decent tire. I always liked the look of Mickey T tires but never owned them.
Whats your primary use for these tires? Looks like they would be quieter than the BFG M/T if that makes any difference and probably just as good in the mud. Might be a bit (slightly)better on ice and wet roads.
Looks cool and everybody has BFG so you'll stand out a bit.

Everyone seems to like them over in the tire section of pavementsucks.com

I'm sure they're more than adequate for your typical construction site.

The tread has siping so they will most likely handle well in rainy/icy conditions, unlike BFG's that do not have siping

Siping= small cuts in the actual tread

im running hancook dynapro MT's and i love them. The tread is taperd so it doesnt get filled with mud or snow. Ive heard the BFG's can have a problem with getting cloged. Plus there alot cheaper. The patterns sick too.

I just took off a set of MTX's. They are not on the drop down menu so I don't know if they are on the way out or not. They were not as expensive as some of the other big tires. http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/t...=BajaRadialMTX
Would get another set if they came larger. Did well in sand(Nags Head/Hatteras NC), Snow 14" and drifts that hit the chin spoiler with 3" lift, and occasional mud hole I went through.
