I run Micky T FC IIs, they have been great for wear and drive really well on tar, gravel and are OK in mud. However, I have had one split around the bead, another two loose tread lugs and develop cracks across the face of the tyre, all had done around 35,000k and where replaced at 50% off new price.

Would I buy them again, probably not now since the warranty problems, never had similar issues with other brands I have used over the years. What would I buy next, well I'll probably come back here for advice.
There is a heap of difference in the rubber compound, Mickeys are softer so they have more grip but wear a bit faster.
