The Mickey Thompson Radial MTX has been the most used in our 2wd class. Everyone used to run the BFG AT's. THe old style that is. The newer style BFG A/T "KO"s have a weeker side wall and were blowing out left and right . I think the most we got out of them were 7 hooks before the side walls would get big knots in them and then pull apart from the rim and blow out. Of course we use tire screw to keep the tire from spinning on the rim. So then we were all on the search for a new tire to run. Mickey Thompson came down to Glasgow, KY for a tire test on the BAJA Claws. Both the Bias Ply and Radials were tested. The Radials were the best performers. THough they seemed to be the best tire at the test session, later on in the year we reallized they were digging too much and actually hurting us more than helping. So then we switched to the Radial MTX, and they have been performing flawlessly for the past 5 years. But now as Technology and tire designs have gotten better, the majority of use are going to switch again this year and run the Interco STS's. Me personally I am going to run the MT Radial ATZ's all the way around on my dually. 285/70 17's in the rear and 305/65 17's up front on single wheel rims. Should look and perform pretty good I think.
