    Anyone out there have any experience with the Mickey Thompson Radial Baja ATZ. Curious to what kind of road noise there is, and the wear life on it. Not planning on raising the truck and the tire will remain the stock 17 inch size or maybe the next size bigger. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    My buddy had some Mickey Thompsons on his 1/2 ton chevy... the thing bounced around real bad at high speeds like they were not balanced right.

    But no personal experience.

    I heard they are hard to balance.

    hey guys, just thought I would let you know. I got my MT Baja ATZ's last month. These tires are great. No road noise, no bouncing, no nothing, just great. Looking frigging awsome too

    i have them on a set of 18" moto metal wheels. They wear nice, got 12,000 out of them so far, maybe another 8 to 10..I tow a trailer alot and they handle nice. Quiet but do have a lil bounce..Difficult to balance..My other trucks that had 37's and 35's on them, i put 2 golf balls in 2 help balance..Seriously it works..
