I run the Baja claws, but more aggressive than the MTZ's. Fully Equiped were the agents for the Mickeys but when i bought mine i was told they were getting out of the tyre game and my set were the last coming into the country.

Try Fully equpied if they no longer stock them they might be able to point you in teh right direction.

i rang a little while ago as was curious , MTZ's are becoming a really popular tyre , i was qouted similar price as the Simex Jungle trekkers ( over $400 for 33'x12.50x15 )- ooohhh buuuggggerr !

need tell the Aussie's to bugger off ( & cut out the middleman )& get them direct from the US, same as buying Lockrite lockers direct from rocky-road for $400 instead of paying $600-700 as example .

Ive got 33x12.5 Baja Claws on the front of my Prado, Only had it for a short whilt and the Baja Claws on the front for an even shorter time but Ive thrown it around a few places and love them.
SOOOOOO much traction on all surfaces,
definately going to get another set for the back and a Baja Belted for the spare.
