Mickey Thompson Company was founded in 1963 and has since championed the manufacturing of high-quality tires of many ranges and patterns.
They have designed and produced innovative tread patterns and compounds that have stood the test of time till now.
Such tires range from wide-low profiles street tires to rugged, aggressive-tread off-road types.
The company had remained one of the leading producers in the manufacturing of high-performing tires and wheels for both On – and Off-road driving.
The list of innovations from Mickey Thompson Performance and world-class quality has grown along with the company and is still on the top list of quality tire manufacturing companies to date.
In this article, we will be talking about the two Mickey Thompson tires – Baja ATZP3 and Deegan 38 all-terrain tire.
Baja ATZP3
MT Baja ATZP3 is an all-terrain tire manufactured with excellent traction best for your farm work trucks, heavy-duty automobiles, and better on other agricultural implements.
It has a fantastic off-road performance that is good and adaptable on mud pits, rock crawled, and coarse surfaces, but can also give you smooth and comfortable handling on highways.
The self-cleaning tread pattern attached to side biters gives you extra protection and longer tread wear.
You will enjoy the tire best on dry season and surface with average comfort on the wheels.
Baja ATZP3 has a 45,000 mile -treadwear warranty with an ‘E’-rating maximum load capacity of 3,640 pounds at 80psi.
These tires are best for drivers that value long journey, rough terrain and heavy loads.
MT Baja ATZP3 wears evenly with a tread-life span of about 85,000km.
It could be a better option for your drive with lighter pressure and at a speed of not more than 80km/hour.
However, MT Baja ATZP3 could be noisy on paved highways making your drive not so comfortable and not recommended for use on snow and wet surface except with considerable speed as low as 60km/hr.
If you desire an excellent snow tire then you should choose a dedicated winter tire.
