Down to two, maybe three

[DKZ71]

I have narrowed the tire search down to either 35x122.5x20 Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 or Toyo MT, (and possibly the RT, but toyo's sure weigh a lot more)

Does anyone have real world history? Not new, not mesmerized by their recent purchase. Looking for someone who has extensive experience and loves them, or wishes they did something else. Open to feedback. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, forgot to mention, wear 40K I can live with. Ride, not looking for super stiff; I know E rated tires will be stiffer, but nothing painful. As far as noise, don't mind hum, but not looking for anything that ruins driving experience and is obnoxious. Would like to hear the wife once in a while LOL. Comments?

I have a friend who drives a f-350 for work and will only run Mickey ATZ P3's. He said that is the only tire he can get more than 50k miles with. But he has never ran toyo's either.

 

He had me looking at the ATZ P3's pretty hard, but I opted for the toyo MTs. Ride is no different than stock. There is a slight hmmmm, but nothing any concern over. No problem talking to anyone, even with Windows down. If stock tires are a 1 out of 10 on noise, then the toyo MTs are a 2. Very very quiet for an mt tire.

 

I have just under 2000 miles on my mts and still look brand new. I know that's not much, but like you, really hoping for 40-50k on these.

 

If you want a more aggressive looking tire, get the Toyos

 

If you want the best fuel mileage, get the Mickeys. Mickeys are about 20lb per tire lighter. That will prob be a 2mpg difference.

 

Both are a great tire, I was looking at both myself. But it's really what kinda look you really want with your truck. An aggressive look (toyo mt) or normal AT look..... Mickey

Good comments. I figure both are complentary and it comes down to looks and MT vs AT hybrid. If cost was the same which is better option?

If cost is the same, then it all comes down to the look you want. P3's are no where as aggressive as the Toyo Mts. So it's all your preference at that point.

Does anyone know what the wear or ride will be with either tire? I am guessing Toyo's may be a bit stiffer due to beefier tire. Eleven pounds heavier has to go somewhere.

Both tires will be about the same as far as on road drivability. They both are same load range E and same 10 ply. ATZ is 65 lbs where the toyo is 80 lbs. My opinion is it all depends on the look of tire you desire.
