Default Question about Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ Radial

What kind of mileage can i expect out of a Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ Radials 305x16s. I primarily drive my JKU on streets and highway. About 40mi round trip for work.

I have an opportunity to buy from a friend...only 2k mi on the wheels and tires.

I went on their site, but not seeing anything about mileage ratings.

Thanks for the help!

-Evan

You won't find mileage ratings for tires. Mileage depends on which vehicle the tires are on, and the user's driving habits. The Baja's are not gonna improve your mileage, that's for sure. But seeing as they're 33's, it shouldn't make things TOO much worse, either.

Let's face, a Jeep ain't gonna challenge a Prius in the mileage dept.

Mickey's are pretty expensive, so if you're getting a deal, I say go for it!

I have over 30K on mine and they still have a good bit of tread. I have rotated mine every 4-5K miles and have really liked the tires offroad and on.

Sorry...I'm not speaking of gas mileage, but how many miles i would get out of a set of these tires.

Thanks.

Yea...I'm seeing the Mickey Thompson's going for $300+. This guy is selling his with ProComp alloy wheels for $1500. They have about 2000 miles on them (so i am told, but i think it is more).
