so out of curiosity.. why new tires? what are they not doing for you? Love my ground hawgs... they work so great!!!! I don't air down either and they just GO AND GRAB... 2nd best to boggers and wear a hellova lot better...

anyway... I can give you a thumbs up for Mickey Thompson ATZ... not the MTZ.. ATZ rode great on the street, had a semi aggressive pattern for a street tire and got 68k miles out of them when I got rid of the truck and they had another 5-8k miles left on them. so I would think the MTZ should perform very well!!!!

shame your in CA... hah... or id offer to buy your hawgs but shipping would kill me and I need rims as your on 15's and I'm on 16.5's.... Hawgs are hard to find now as Inerco bought them out from Denman and discontinued them. People loved them as they wore like iron but performed 2nd best to boggers... so Interco wants you to buy boggers every 15k miles vs hawgs every 20 years!!!!! I bought mine in 2004!!!!!

they throw mud like nobodies business...
fullsize pic here.. look at how much tread I still got.. I don't air down but didn't know I only had 10psi in them!!! LOL just put 20 in after this pic..

favorite tire.... ground hawgs, i love how they perform mud and sand dunes, i actually sold them because of the 15" wheels, i upgraded rear axle to a 1 ton with disc conversion and front 3/4 ton and 15's wouldn't clear the caliper. so my uncle had a set of 44's with 20's laying around that he gave me, threw them on, now looking to buy a set of tires, i drive as a daily and toy, so want a good tire for off road and highway, boggers DO NOT like the street, i might have to look into the ATZ's thanks.

But man i wish they still had some ground hawgs!!!!!!!

my plan was to track down 44 hawgs in a year or 2 but I'm guessing 39.5 boggers will be next for me.. or 42 tsl sx... mine is just a trail truck so I don't need to worry about DD it

I work 62miles each way.. I had a 2013 gmc sierra crew cab z-92 (6" lift and 35s) and @ 19mpg cost me $680/m in gas... had to get rid of it after 3 years.. but if I drove this truck daily it would cost me way more.
