Mickey Thompson unveils mud terrain tire

Sept. 3, 2015

Max-Trac Tire Co. Inc. dba Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels has introduced the Baja MTZP3, a mud terrain tire in 22 sizes for 15- to 20-inch rims.

The company says the Baja MTZP3 has a unique silica-reinforced tread compound for longer wear, enhanced wet weather capability, and superior cut and chip resistance.

The Baja MTZP3 tread features siped tread lugs for better traction and stone ejection, and angled shoulder scallops with mud-pocket scoops for better performance in mud and loose soil. The sidewall is reinforced with the company’s PowerPly technology along with decoupling grooves and signature SideBiters for improved handling on irregular surfaces.

“Owners will appreciate the rugged style and reliable performance in a variety of conditions, along with responsive handling on the street,” says Ken Warner, vice president of marketing for Mickey Thompson.

Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels markets racing and high-performance tires and wheels for street, strip, truck, and off-road applications. The company was founded in 1963 by racing legend Mickey Thompson and is headquartered in Stow, Ohio.
