Default BFG AT vs Mickey Thompson ATZ

It has come down to these two tires for me.....I want to know what you all think of these tires...I've had two sets of BFG AT's, 31's and 33's on other Jeeps and I loved them....but I've read VERY good reviews on the ATZ's.....
opinions!!!

Default atz's

I have the mtz's and love them. IMO the atz's look better. I know some guys who have had them and they ride great and last a long time. I am sure the bfg's are great as well. It really comes down to what you like....Good Luck.

I found the BFG ATs useless on wet roads.

No experience/opinion on the ATZs, but have had great luck with the BFG A/Ts on my TJ. Will consider them for the JK, if I don't go with a M/T. The BFGs were great in snow/ice on-road.

Seriously? I found them to be generally great in wet conditions. The only possible issue may be extremely wet roads where water collects in the tracking areas because the BFGs don't have large voids to channel water like some other road tires do.

Mickey T. Atzs I wanted a good road tire that would perform well in sand and water, but still have a somewhat decent tread for mud.
