Has anyone run these? If so how is the noise, balance, wet/ice/offroad traction? Post up pix if you have them.
Thanks

Ive heard they are a GOOD tire as far as wear. I actually wanted to try a set myself, however the price was just to high for me at the time. Id also be interested in pics as well

I ran MT ATZ's on my 01 for about 25,000miles. Best tire I ever had, noise very minimal, tread wear was even better. I traded my truck with the tires on it and I told the guy I had 25,000 miles on the tires and he could not believe it.

Do it, get 'em.I am getting a set for my 09. They are not cheap, but you get what you pay for....

the ATZ's way outshine the BFGs..
i have ran both the BFG KO AT's and the ATZ's and the ATZ beats in dry,wet,mud and snow traction and is a quieter tire on the road with alot nicer road manners! they both got about the same miles.

I went through one set of these (35-12.50-20) on my last truck and then put another set on right before I sold it. Then, when I bought my new truck, I went with another set of them (305-55-20). I put 50,000 miles on my truck last year, and never had a problem with the tires. They don't road walk and are not that loud. The wear is great, and traction is excellent. I keep wanting to try another tire, but don't see the reason to do so since these are so good.

Yea I don't know.. I always pictured those to be to aggressive a tire for what I wanted and always had such good luck with the BF's but I need to try something different. Either way I'm only doing that stock size so it shouldn't be to bad. I always pictured them to float cause there wide. I'll probably look into those for my 20's in sumer too cause the Nitto Terra Grapplers (275/55-20) haven't been my favorite. Something about them, just not sure if I like it.. Anyone else?
