those running MTZs
Thinking of 35x12.5r17 MTZs on MT Classic IIIs for my 2014 auto 3.73s. I have searched and believe based on posts that people think they are a good tire. I am mainly interested in wear. What are you getting out of them (some said they burned off in real little time but I suspect that there were issues involved there other than the tire).
I would also like input from people in similar environments: North TX. Someon in MN might have too many variables that impact things.
Also wondering if those with them can give me range of mpg for similar set up (3.6/auto/3.73/planning the Superchips Flashpaq).
Please no other recommendations for tires. I have run KM2s on my truck but I dont think they are worth the nearly $75 more apiece difference they are right now.
Still debating MTR-Ks but the people complaining about balancing issues concerns me. I am not buying Nittos or Toyos (nuff said).

I run 37 " MTZ. They have been on for 10k miles now. They are holding up great and were noticeably more effective off road than my km2. The only negative I have on them are the size. About 36 3/8" on the jeep when new. They are actually pretty quiet too. For on road, nothing beats the km2. They are smith, quiet, and last forever. But they are small.

I am considering Pro-Comp Rockwell 5034 wheels wich are 17x8.5 which is the min recommended width for the 35x12.5 MTZs so that will bulge their height just a tick. But I wonder about wear (being able to get a flat tread contact surface)
