Mickey Thompson Baja Radial ATZ P3's

Yes i know, Another bloody tyre thread.

I have been fitting Yokohama tyres to my 4WD's for a couple of decades now and I have found them to be Bloody good tyres But after talking to my Yokohama dealer here i can only get MT Yokies in 245/75/16 and I am Not that happy with going up a notch in size from the 245/70/16 AT's that I have on the D2a at the moment.
I have heard some Good reports over the years about Mickey Thompson tyres so I had a look at some and the Baja Radial ATX P3's look pretty good and have a much more 'Aggressive" tread pattern than the Yokohama AT's and I can also get them in the 245/70/16 size that I want.
I got a quote for 5x ATZ P3 tyres fitted for $1,715 which is about $100 more than the Yokohama MT's.
Is anyone here running these tyres and if so what is your opinion of them?
I have to make my mind up what I am going to fit within the next 2 weeks because I am heading off on an extended 6-12 months trip then.

Ive got the Deegan MTs in a 275/75r16. Ive done 25,000kms on them. I really like them. I had the Mickey STZ (which I think are the previous version of the ATZ)

The STZ was a great tyre. quite, and well mannered on the road. Not as aggressive as the Deegans.

Deegans have worn well. They are a little noisy on the really smooth new tarmac. In the country on the open coarse tarmac they are alot quieter. But I have removed my centre muffler, so I don't tend to notice that much

Off road, I believe they work well. I've been out in the wet with other LRs on mud tyres, and I think they are up there with them.

I think I'll give the Mickey Thompsons a go, Nothing ventured nothing gained

Not sure which version, but my neighbour has recently put big chunkie Mickie tyres on his 200 which spends most of its life in the Pilbara/Kimberley well and truly off road and towing heavy trailers etc after major failures with a couple of well known brands. He is very happy with both their sidewall performance and lack of chipping, plus reckons after 10K km he looks like getting good mileage from them, so go for it. Also not all that noisy!

I have only done about 7000k on my ATZ's so far so I cant comment on how well they are wearing But I recently had to pull the boat out at low tide at the Whyndham boat ramp which required me to drive through about a foot of slimy mud and I had absolutely No problems dragging a tone and a half of boat out.
They are a bit noisy But not overly so and so far I am very happy with the tyres.
