Mickey Thompson tires

I have 9.5 and 10.5 inch wide rims. I have Nitto 255 and 285 tires on them. Am thinking of getting the MT tires in 275/35 and 305/35 using the same HRE wheels that I have. The Nittos, I feel, are not wide enough for my rims, or they might be undersized. My car is a daily driver and will not see any kind of competition at all.

Anybody has any experience on these tires?

Do these MT tires have a decent rim protector built in on the inside lip?

Hey - Long Time no see and I hope all is well. I've ridden on them before and when I did I didn't have a great experience up until recent. I drove Justin Dugans personal '14 and for the life of me I couldn't get them to come up to tempterature on the 20 min drive that I had. Mind you guys this was in February with no snow on the ground. I just recently had one of our 2015's out that has this exact setup and I was really pleasantly surprised at how much different of an animal they were when the temps are warm out; They really do stick and I would definitely suggest them to anyone that's looking to either go a little wider or if you're just looking to get a better foot-print on the ground. The 305/35/20 is where it's at for warmer months!

Here's what some customers are saying:

Let me know if you lost that discount code and I'll have it shot back over!

If you curse the internet you can prolly find them cheaper. I think I picked up the same 305/35/20's for $165ea. delivered.

My plan is to run the MT's during the warm dry months. My car sits for most of the cooler rainy season, but when i do drive her, i'll have the nitto's back on.

hello Alex...given the HRE FF01 wheels that I have, considering the width and the offset, am I going to be OK with no rubbing going for the 275/35/20 and 305/35/20 tires?

Don't have but my buddy has them and he told that MT's are a more mild version of the Nitto.
