Does anyone have expirence with the baja radial mtx tires. 33x12.50R17 tires. I want to put thes on american racing atx mojave teflon wheels. My truck is stock height with the front leveled so are these tires going to fill up the wheel wheels a little like I want. Also, do they have a good load rating and off- road driveability.

They will fill up the wheel well pretty good. I have no experience with that specific Mickey Thompson, but with 2 others, MTZ and ATZ and both of them were awesome! I honestly havent heard anyone that has negative thoughts on Mickey Thompson's

with the 4.5 backspace on the wheels does that mean the tires will stick out of the sides of the truck?

I had the M/T ATZ 37/13.50/18s I liked them not loud good on the HYW good in sand good flotation type not real bouncy ride like some other tire I have run in the past.
The tire good smouth ride had a E weight ratting on them all around good tire but pricey very pricey I think they were like $359.00 per tire that was 2.5 years ago.

The tire guy said they were a 45000 to 50000 mile tire I could not tell you I ended up trading the truck in before I found out.

They sayMTZ are alsohave the same type of tire wear But my own experince with Mudder type tires wacth the air pressure and make sure you rotate them every oil change will make them last longer.

I been thinking of tricking this truck out I will go back to ATZ's or BFG's If I end up giving in to the truck fixing up once again.

Oh yea if you want a tire that going to last don't get the Baja Claws I taked to a lot ownners they work great just don't last on the street.
