IM interested in getting new tires dick cepek mud country and Mickey Thompson mtz seem to be the two better tires out there regarding mud and dd use. Which one of these is better and are there anymore tires out there comparable to either one? All suggestions welcome.


Thanks

My jeep came with MTZ's with 20% tread left. The few time I've gone out winter rock crawling, I've been thoroughly impressed with their traction. I've aired down to 9# without Beadlocks..,no problems.

Regarding DD...I can't say how much is tire vs jeep...in regards to winter road traction, ie short wheel base... I'm cautious on snow covered icy roads, because I have spun out. However, I did NOT air down... Only because no way to air back up. Now I have CO2 so if snow is coming I air down the night before to 15#...which makes a huge difference!

I'm currently trying to decide whether to stay with MTZ's or try something else that may be better. I'm not going to bring up the other tire I'm considering, Because it's too easy for everybody to get off topic and suggest a different tire versus your actual question.

I can't speak to the Dick Cepek tires, as ive never run them. I've never been impressed with their design. But at the same time every tire has its place where it works great and where it's out of its element.

Hope this helps! :)

I run 35 12.50 MT mtz and am on my 3rd set. I absolutely love these. I have run Dick Cepeks and Discovery aswell. But after my Mickey Thompsons i doubt ill ever switch it up.

And the majority of your standard tire measurements are off like a 35 is usually slightly smaller or bigger depending on the company.
