Default 1:1 tires looking at Mickey Thompsons atz and mtz

whats your guys options on these tires? I am open to other brands but I looking for an aggressive tire with good thread wear. Not to concerned about off-road use too much. They are 315/75r16 or a close to a 35x12.50 and are going on a 98 Cherokee with 7.5" lift. It mainly sees street use as it is my daily driver. thanks

i run Mickey Thompsons MTZ's 35x12.5x15 on my Chevy K1500 and love them,
great in snow, mud, and pavement,
they have great wear, i have 3000 miles on mine and the only way you know that they are not new is because the nipples are gone and the corners are rolled over from being on the front.

i highly recommend them to anyone

I had 285/75R16 Dick Cepek FC-2s on my truck for a while and really liked them. The grip great, ride good and are not overly loud. They are kinda a mix between an A/T tire and an M/T tire and would do well in your mall crawling enviroment. Only problem I had with them was the sidewalls started cracking a couple months after I bought them. Cooper apparently made a big batch of shit tires around then and I was lucky enough to get 2 sets.

Thanks you for an actual response to my question. I think I am leaning to the atz but I am still not 100 sure.

Mine are the Dick Cepek mud country, just looking for a better wearing tire. I dont have the income to use this as a toy jeep otherwise I would be. I just bought a house back in nov and this is my only transportation, I can't go out and break it and drive back to work on Monday too.

My FC-2s wore good for the year I had them. I lost around 3/32" of tread in 7k miles and they wore very even. That was on a 6500lb truck.(Empty)
