Default Opinions of Mickey Thompson MTX Radials

What does everybody think about Mickey Thompson MTX Radials. I'm looking for 285-75-16's for my new JK and have always liked the look of these tires, but don't know anybody who has personally owned them. I'm sure somebody here has. I have always liked BFGoodrich A/T's, but was wanting to go with something a little different this time around.

Here are the tires, if anyone was wondering exactly which ones they were

I don't have anything to compare them to, but I am running them and I've been very pleased so far. Road noise is not a problem, they have chewed through the two blizzards we've had here in Colorado of late, and they were cheaper than many of the alternatives in the size I wanted ($210 dollars each for 35x12.5R17).

I haven't had them on rocks or in mud yet, I've only been running them for about a month. But, so far so good!

They look a bit more aggressive than BFG A/T's, Revo's, Terra Grappler's, etc...

I'm liking these and have been getting good feedback on other boards also... Also considering Dick Cepek FC-II's...

Take a look at the Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips, I had a set on my Excursion.
