There is screaming deal on these MTZs as they are being replaced by the MTZp3 and I can get them locally brand new at like $175 a tire for 33x12.5R15s. The plan is to go 33s and a leveling kit for 2-3 years then gear swap, 2.5" lift/boost, and 35s so tread life isn't the most critical thing right now.

Are these too aggressive for a DD rig?

On the very rare occasion my wife would run to the store in the rain/snow would these be a death trap? They seem to have some siping and a soft compound.

From what I can gather in searches, it seems to be a pretty mixed bag, but these seem less mud specific than say a Toyo M/T, Trail Grappler, Kumho KL71, KM. In fact someone said they are almost like a super aggressive AT with the center lugs doing a decent job on road. 90% of driving will be on road. Noise isn't super key factor either, though these seem to be quieter than most MTs.

 

I don't know I run Maxxis bighorns on my daily driver and wouldn't hesitate to run mtzs.

I doubt you bought a jeep worrying about tire/road noise.

 

I've got about 19k on my MTZs and they have plenty of tread left. They wear pretty good. I DD mine, and the road noise isn't too bad. I can only hear the tires at high speeds.

 

I dd'd a set for years and they lasted for 5 years, I'd buy another set.

 

I have them on my Rubi. Prob 25k on em no problems in the snow or rain a little slick on ice but what isn't. They ride well on the highway I drive about 160 miles down the interstate every other Sunday. They do great off road too.

 

thx guys...anymore feedback specifically on road in rain, snow, or dry pavement?

 

I have these in 35's. Great on the road, great in snow and fine in the rain unless your driving through lots of freestanding water at speed. I wouldn't hesitate to run these. I have 10k on them and am at 16-17/32" (21/32" new).

 

I second srbell0585 comment. Great tires for a daily driver in all the North-east weather, and they're long-lasting. Like any aggressive mud tire they are noisy after 10k+ miles, if that bothers you, doesn't me. Recommended.

 

btw, I ran a set of MTZs down to bald, and got 45-50k miles (I forget the exact #).
