I put 35 x 13.5 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ's on my '07 Mega Cab a couple of weeks ago. So far they have been awesome!

you are aware that those are Bias ply tires, right?

If your truck is a weekend only, off-road truck then they are a great tire, if you use your truck on pavement then we need to know where to send the flowers...

Those tires look bad azz! But bias tires lick for highway or anything not mudd imo. Heard lots of good things about the mickey thompson atz and mtz's. Have a buddy that got 100000kms out of his atz's. I'm gonna get the mtz's for my next set.

yeah, I have a good buddy with MTZ's that have more than double the miles on them as his previous Maxxis Buckshots and they still look good. Another buddy around here has a set of ATZs with around 80k miles on them and still going strong...

IROKs are a great OFF road tire. They are awesome in the mud and rocks. They are a terrible street tire. They are very loud, handle bad even on dry pavement, and wear out fast.

I had Toyo Open Country MTs on a previous vehicle and I think they are the a very good off road tire and probably the best MT type tire for on road. They handle very well on dry and wet pavement, they are great in the snow, good on icy roads, they are quiet for a MT and wear very well. They also only took a max of 2 oz to balance a 37x13.50R20.
