MICKEY THOMPSON MTZ

[badnuz]

i took delivery of my new 305/70/16 MT ATZ today. getting them fitted tomorrow then we are off for a few days travelling the island. prob wont do too much off road but will be great to see how they go on-road... i have a big day trip in the army land at the end of the month so will be a real good test for them! i will post my thoughts on them, as they happen

and why did you not go 35s

[badnuz]

in all reality it is still only my tow wagon/shiney 4wd, so didnt want to loose too much driveability on-road

and besides, 35's on an 80 would then only make me want to take it places i would rather take the mighty zuk

Had a look at them yesterday (just the lil 265/75/16's though). I lkie the look of them but not the price. Been mixed reviews in Aus about them, but like anything some people love em and others hate em. Be interesting to see how much wear you get with a heavy wagon on them as I have heard the rubber is a little soft (which is probably why the have a reputaion for road handling and grip).

I'm running 265's on my Surf. Great roadholding on and off the tarmac. Too soon to comment on wear but they do look good on the MT alloys.....

well after 1000km of main hiways/back counrty gravel roads in the middle of knowhere and some twisty as f#$k back roads(part of forgotten highway) they certainly get the tick for on-road manners and grip... next test at the end of the month when the bus is going to take on the muddy/slippery tank tracks in the army land at waiouru

well i took the cruiser to the army land on sat and gave the tires a good working over. at 18 PSI on my 3 ton bus they worked very well, the cruiser have very definate steering, and never really felt like loosing traction, except for the parts where everyone lost traction that is!! they gave me confidence to take lines i wouldn't have thought easy and managed to drive it around some knarly sections of track with relatively good control!

im very impressed thus far!
