DC Mud Country and MT Baja MTZ

I hate to start a new thread, but I searched and did not find anything on either the Dick Cepek Mud Country or the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ. I am shopping for new tires and I am not ruling anything out and these are two that I am considering. Information on these tires is pretty scarce, so I am hoping you can help me (and others out). I am well aware of other good tires out there for which there is plenty of information (BFG MT, Goodyear MT/R), so I will be disappointed if all I see is a "Get the BFG MT, they rock!" type of post. However, if you can offer a comparison between one tire and the other, that would be great information.

Thanks for the help!!
 






All I know is I lurv mine so far..!! Hella good grip, be the terrain rocky, snowy, wet, icy, muddy, whatever! :D ;)

I've gotta make a small correction to the whole "My Mickeys rule in any condition" comment... if you run through a lot of mud, DO NOT purchase these tires!!!!!!!! I'm ashamed to admit that with 5.13's and being locked front AND rear, I got my @$$ handed to me by a stock open/open TJ on 33" thornbirds this weekend. THORNBIRDS!! :fart: Mtz's are phenominal in snow and on the rocks but they don't clean for $#% in the goopy stuff, which ends up making your truck go every direction that you don't want it to :fire: Also, Micah/Rookie/pretty much everybody was right: 17's are for street trucks :p: I bent a rim because I don't have enough side wall. I plan on getting some really aggressive muds on 15x9's for local mud-filled Maryland wheeling, and keeping my MTZ's for the snow and/or rock wheeling trips.


Here's a good example: my tread blocks would have already been cleared with my old BFG muds, what with being 10 feet out of the stream when this pic was taken:

Edit: Forgot to mention: I used the balancing powder in these suckers and with 13,000 miles on them they show absolutely no uneven wear! Plus, even though my RF rim is bent, there's no noticeable vibration or wobble. POWDER IS THE SHIZZLE, GUYS!
