    Great buy at the time, but now I am stuck with them, and as my job has changed and I am not driving around all day in sales anymore, I would prefer to go back to the Claws.

    Is there any tread left on the MTZ's or all too far gone.

    I run Mickey Thompson ATZ 4 Ribs 285X70X17, but they are noisy, much noisier than the 285X75X16 FC IIs I ran before.

    The ATZs are, however, a great compromise tyre for the varied running I do, mostly gravel, some tar, desert sand and rough fire trails.

    After 20,000ks of varied surfaces no chips, cuts or punctures, I'm happy.

    265/75r16

    When it comes to tyres I think it really comes down to personal preference. I have fitted Kumho KL78s 265/75r16 to my troll and I can not go past them for value for money. It is an all terrain tread with 10ply and a load rating of 123. At $250 a tyre fitted, and never had a puncture and have gone everywhere my traveling mates have gone with their big aggressive mud patterns, I don't think they should be underestimated.

    I've got BFG's At 33/12,5/15 on my truck and I'm happy with it. Very good for sand, good for black road and not that bad for a light mud.
