Justemailed my buddy up in Ga. where I got my Mickey wheels and Dick Cepek tires, he's an authorized Mickey Thompson Dealer, he said that if the black DC-1s are being discontinued he doesn't know anything about it, they are in his '08 dealer catalog.

BTW: You want an awesome A/T tire then look at the Mickey Thompson ATZs. For a little more aggressive tire that still has great highway wear, look at the Dick Cepek Fun Country IIs.
I'd be interested to see what Greggie has to say about his Pro Comp's in a year or two, I can find you about a half dozen Ga. rednecks in my hunting club that have had one set of Pro Comps and will never buy another. Something about a tire tread going bald with only about 20k highway miles ticks them rednecks off.

I'm not in the market at the moment, but do either of those have a mileage rating? My Bridgestone Alenzas are very satisfactory in terms of grip and treadlife. When I bought the truck in Aug, '07, it had 86K miles on it. The previous owner said he put them on at ~60K. It looks like they'll go to 110-120 before they need replacing. As I approach geezer-dom, quiet is important, but grip is, as well. I like to push him in curves and there's nothing worse than having them turn loose of the road just because it's wet.

Oh by the way HAMMERZ71 i called dick cepek yesterday after i posted that message and they also told me they were'nt goin to be discontinued but were having some problems with the clearcoat on the wheels and were in the process of re-doin the new wheels with a different clearcoat... I asked him when they would be available and he said they were just now gettin them in.. Apparently people have had trouble with the wheels when they first came out...
