How much distance do you have left from tire to fender with your setup, i.e. 35" tire and 2.5" lift?

I think that's true of their mud tires. I am looking at A/Ts and 34.4" tall tire has 10.7" tread width. Check this out,

I don't know anything about the other tire to compare though :/
Did you get the ATZs locally or had to order them online? It doesn't seem, and understandably so, shops in my area stocking up on these tires. The selection appears to be limited, unless I am looking in the wrong places.

I can't speak to the ProComps, but I have 33" ATZ P3s on my 2 door and I love them. BUT, I need to qualify this by saying I have only had them a month and it has been all street driving. Haven't had time to put them on any trails.

Have pro comp extreme all terrains and 2 .5 teraflex lift with no issues at all. Had them on my first jk also that's why I purchased again. Very quiet on the road.

Another vote for the ATZ's, have almost 20,000KMs since April. Burned off about 2/32" since then, 5 tire rotation, running 29PSI cold. Like many things in life...you get what you pay for. And you either pay now, or, pay later.
Yes the Mickey's are a bit more, but they are worth it...don't be cheap on tires...it's the only thing between you and the road, my family is worth every penny.

Road manners are great on dry, wet pavement, like trails and mud so far so good. Give it a few more weeks and I can chime in on snow and ice as this is my first winter with them. Road noise is moderate, a very nice not too extreme hum past 40KMs, love it. Balanced up nice, no issues to report.
Andm they look darn good too.

Next set of tires, ya, they will be Mickey's.

I Just got the ATZ P3 by Mickey T in 35 inch, They are Kickass! Onroad, silent as fuck, and offroad, they go EVERYWHERE! I had the MTZ before, and those were fucking loud and was struggling a bit in the desert!

You have to order from an offroad modshop, not a tire shop.

Provided that lift and backspacing are taken care of i.e. 1.5 teraflex spring leveling and 17" rugged ridge aluminum 9" wide with 4.5" backspacing, what tire should i go with? Can't put higher lift because jk will not fit in garage. Please help.
...mickeys...
