Mickey T's ATZ2's, thoughts

[BigRAWesty]

Looking at a new set of wheel.
What are your thoughts on these.
Can't find to many out there, but they seem better than there older 5 rib version.

ATZ 2'? Spelling error I'm assuming, I'm guessing they're either the 4 ribs or the STZ's you're talking about??
Can't comment on the STZ's but, 4 ribs are what I'm going with. Know a few people with them and they're pretty happy.

What is an ATZ 2? Do you mean the 4 rib version? From what I've heard they are a great compromise tyre.

[BigRAWesty]

Yea a bit of miss Info there from the trye joint. They stated atz 2 but from reading I think they mean the 4 rib.

Others On the list to look into are the bfg at, maxxis at 980 and the general grabber at2.

Been quoted $1800 for 5x 33x12.5x15 GG AT2's fitted and balanced on New 15x8 rims.. Very good price.. Need to research..

[Hodge]

That is an awesome price. I'm embarrassed to mentioned the best price I found locally, even without the rims for a set of 4 ribs.

Edit: Just realized, you're talking about 15's.

[BigRAWesty]

Yea that's the general grabbers in a 33' on 15' rim..
Best price for the 4 rib is $2150 with 5 New 15x8 rims fitted and balanced. $335 a Tyre and $75 a rim. Just black sunnies.

[BigRAWesty]

The main tyre joint down here is getting back to me with a few more options tomorrow.
If I go a 33x12.5 it opens a whole lot more, I was hoping to stick to 33x10.5 and a 7" rim, but it looks ill have 2 sets.. Once roadies are gone I'll sell the 7's And just run the 33's.

I paid less for my BFG muddies.

If you move to 33's, consider a 10.5 inch tyre. Less rolling resistance will mean you lose less power turning the larger diameter wheels......doesn't sound much but it makes a difference especially if you're not running a turbo.

ATZs are over rated. Not a bad tyre, but they are over priced, weak carcus, and nothing special.

I have/had a set of Micky t ATZ 4 rib in a 33 for the past year, I have had countless troubles with spinning the rim, dirt in the bead and punctures from things you would expect a good 4x4 tyre to be able to handle. Yes I know that tyre pressures play a big part in those issues, but it has happened on steel and alloy wheels, and across just about every pressure from 18-40 psi, on and off road. As well as me not thrashing or driving erratic.

What I have done since I am over my ATZs is, is go and buy a set of 305/70r16 bfg km2s for $300 each. Fingers crossed they arrive tomorrow.

I am by no mean bashing Micky Thomson. I have had a bad experience with one of the popular lines, all I am doing is sharing my experiences.

Flip the coin to the other side, then you have me....... No issues at all with the ATZs and definitely prefer them over the BFG ATs. Funny how it works hey, some makes suit some folk but not others
