FJ needs new tires

Hello Everyone.
I want to put some off road tires on my FJ, 33 or 34's... something that will work well in the mud and trail...but also work for a daily driver.

I was looking at the following...
Toyo - open country
Mickey T's - Baja MTZ's
Pitbull - Rocker's

Let me know what you think of those 3 tires and what might be best for what I'm looking to do. (or if you've got any other fav's that you think I should check out that would be great too)

Thanks
AR

Re: FJ needs new tires

Adam, I am running the Toyo Open Country MT's 33". I couldn't be happier I think with these tires. A little pricey but worth it. I got 5 so I can rotate the spare around. Even with the big lugs the road noise isn't very noticable. Even on the interstate at speed. They have done a great job in the snow and mud around here as well. Even in the water they did a great job in of all places leaving the parking lot at the plant I work at. 7 1/2" of rain that morning and drove through water just up to the bumper before it got lifted with no problems. Had them on since last September with little wear at all so far.
Hope this helps out on the decision some.
Zig

Re: FJ needs new tires

Well, you didn't list them, but I've put about 1,500 miles on my BFG Mud terrain KM2's and Love them! Noise isn't bad, ride is good, but they are pricey.

Re: FJ needs new tires

X2, you might want to consider looking into some BFGs. Possibly the All Terrain KOs or the KM2s. They last forever!!!

Re: FJ needs new tires

I have to vote for the BFG AT's as well, I've ran them on my dodge for 5 years without problems - excellent in the dirt and snow (i know, i know, the mud...)
The MTZ's - my brother runs these on his dodge diesel and says they are the best tire he's ever had - and for what its worth , he changes tires more than underwear but has just got his second set of MTZ's.

I have the Toyos in a 33" - (295/70/17) and I'm happy with them but I'd check out the KM2s as well. If you're looking at the Toyo prices, I think they're in line with the KM2s. Spendy but worth it.

Re: FJ needs new tires

I've got the Toyo MT's and am impressed with the overall performance of the tire. I've been on the road, off the road, in the mud, way in the mud, on the rocks, in the water and on the highway. Good tire and they are wearing well.
