BFG MTs or Mickey Thompson MTZs?
Well im in the 35" tire market and wanted some imput. Both of these tires are in my price range and was wondering what you guys would get. The MTZs are slightly cheaper but not by much. Or if you have another recommendation please chime in. They will probably mostly be seeing mud and highway but may see a little rock every now and then.

I got my new tires and wheels a little early, today 35x12.50x17 BFG/ MT and I like them so far, about the same noise level as the stock BFG's ($229ea.) I will be going on a run next week to see how they work out.

Not 35s, but I just bought the ProComp Mud Terrains, 33s and I love them. For an aggressive tread, they are pretty quiet. The slight hum should come standard on a Jeep. Anyhow, I am going to be posting pics this week sometime of my new lift 2" SJ BB with Nitro Shocks and my Procomps.
I like em. I would also say the look of the Procomp Mud Extremes like WayOLife are nice looking tires.

I have run both on my JK. It depends on what your looking for.
Noise: The Baja are a good bit louder on the street
On Road: The Baja seem to have a softer compound and are wearing a lot faster than the BFG
Offroad: The Baja are cleaning mud alittle better but throw small (and not so small) rocks wildly. Not good for the paint job!

I've got MTZs on my XJ and they are wearing FAST!! Had my alignment checked just in case > it was fine. Just a warning on those... I'm expecting maybe a total of 2 years on them.
