Mickey Thompson Baja STZ Questions & Answers

Yes you can,265/60R18.

Hi Kate,I paid $417 each,very quiet tyre,had Atz Mickey thompsons on my prado last,got around 65000k out of them,I don't tow as much as you. I can say they are just as good as the ATZ tyres on the sand,you can't tell your in a four wheel drive on the freeway its that quiet. They still have a high load speed rating, good year wranglers are the same price as the mickeys. The new Atz p3 Mickey thompsons are good from what I hear,my boss just put Yokohama at's on his land cruiser and loves them,fraction of the price.

G'day Prajero, I have no idea - sorry. All I can say is that in our application - Jeep Grand Cherokee - they are about the same as the factory ones noise-wise, or maybe a teeny teeny bit more if you wanted to really nitpick. CERTAINLY nowhere near as bad as we were expecting given their aggressive looking structure. They've done over 10K now and we still have no complaints whatsoever. We will probably put the same onto our old Prado when its are due for changing.

All I can suggest is that you correct any wheel alignment/balance issues and re-check for correct air pressure.

G'day Stacia,

Mine were $1515AUD fitted for the 4. My size was 265/60R18. Not sure if this equates to the model you are looking at.

Cheers

frankly put i cannot understand question i have sent you a question to your email to get more info to be able to try answer you....steff

You are probably out of luck with any tyre company. it is now obviously flat, you are deemed to have driven it flat, so bad luck. All you can do is ask politely, show evidence and witness if you have one.

We got Dunlop H/T from factory. Couldnt get rid of them quick enough, terrible all round. The STZ will be slightly more noisy, great in wet on tar and so far clean out well in the mud, just bush tracks (not hard core). Slightly harsher than oem, but dont think you can have everything in one tyre. We are very happy with upgrade. See also " unsealed 4 x 4 e magazine" for a quick rundown on a lot of a/t tyres

I have done 50,000 k's on my Mickey Thompson's to date and have found them to be fantastic for ride etc and off road, they are now starting to get a bit noisy but no different to any aggressive tread off road tyre. I have had no problems in the wet and will definitely be replacing with another set when the time comes although that could still be a while they still have heaps of tread.

Seriously Bob, google says 265 65/17 for your Prado, which is the same as our BT50. We think they ,Mickey T ATZ are pretty good allround. If more adventurous go to the new Mickey , has side biters and fatter tread.

Thanks Maureen, the Prado has 245/70r17's on it, which the dealer reckons is the correct size, and match with the specification label for tyres on the door column. There is however a speciation label lower down on the door column with 265/65r17. In contrast to the dealer's recommendation, I infer that it is a case of either/or?

BTW I've ordered the STZ's - they seem to have a pretty good rap

Bob, I have the 265/65/17 STZs on my 2009 Prado see me review above

G'day Neil. How many KM did you get out of the original fitment tyres?? We have only done 27000KM in our 2014 Laredo diesel (265/60/R18) ... and they already look buggered!! We were about to order Coopers ... but they only offer two types in that size ... H/T Plus and A/T3 - and both review poorly on this site. So we are in your position mate ... hopefully somebody will answer you/us ... or we will just have to be the guinea pigs for you! Cheers, Michael.

the abs function works on each individual wheel speed sensor -it compares each wheel sensor and assist to keep them all the same.so on the global any tyre works closely with the abs. will you see a difference? probably not.if you change all 4 then I expect you to have similar braking on each wheel from each tyre so you should be pretty right....

If this is same size as original factory tyre it should be fine. If it is a bigger tyre it will affect your speedo accuracy and also economy.

Sorry I am not sure.i am not the person to ask. ask you micky Thompson dealer or check their website...

Honestly it varies between states and how far U live from the city shop around get quotes from every tyre joint you can go to then you can get the best price I got same size of tyre that was originally on my Prado I paid 1900 for 5 types which I thought was fair best price in my town

38 ps no more mate is a tyre fitter and recomended that for best ride in sand I run 22 psi on hard off road rock stuff as they ride well everyones different but good travels hope it helps

I have 265.65.17 stz's fitted, the tyre people told me to run them on 40psi and I will get better even wear, I have done this for about 12,000 klm's now, bitumen, beach and bush and never had a problem so far. good luck.

Yes, depends on what you are doing with them but the rule of thumb here in Alice Springs is 40 all round, a little more in the back if you have a lot of weight. This is best for highway and firm surfaces, gives you less rolling resistance and therefore better fuel economy and keeps your sidewalls straight to avoid low, wall punctures.

Use coarse wet and dry sandpaper.
