I am sure there probably are a few reviews of these tires on here, but I thought you can never have enough opinions, or pictures.

My business partner just got some new tires on his 3rd gen (99) 4Runner and I thought I would post up some pictures of it for anyone considering them. It is a stock truck with no lift and approx 100k on suspension. The tires are Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ radials 265/75 R16 on the stock rims. They fit real well on the truck with absolutely no rubbing even with full lock to lock parking and decreasing radius turns while hitting bumps. I just picked up some new BFG MT KM2's a few weeks ago on my 1st gen 4Runner and I can tell you that they are about the same in noise at highway speed. (not bad at all) The MT MTZ's seem a little louder to me at slower speeds, but not substantially. I have not had a chance to drive it yet, but will post up my review once I do. In the meantime here are some picts.

how do the MTZ do offroad. I just order some 35 12.50 for my 85 pickup. i would really like to know how they do before i pay for them

FL.Cowbay - I have no idea. It's not my truck so I havent had the opportunity to take it offroad. I would imagine they are pretty good. They have about the same amount of aggressiveness as my BFG MT KM2's, and they are great offroad and in the snow. They have great sidewall lugs and good rim protection. I would imagine when aired down they would do great offroad.

they are just short of magical off road... air those things down to 12psi and its like a whole other truck.. the best mud terrain i have ever used. and they are great on the road too.

Just thought I would add to the review. Maybe help someone make a decision. These tires are amazing off road. If you leave them at on road pressure its nothing amazing. Just another mud tire. But when I air them down to 8-10psi, they'll take my truck anywhere my swampers will. The only difference is in the mud but I expected that. I drive my truck daily on the road. 30,000 km on them so far and plenty of tire life left. I balance and allign 1-2 times a year so there is no cupping. Still a nice, smooth, quiet ride. Our light trucks on big tires means you should get plenty of years out of them. Don't hesitate to buy these tires.
