Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 first impressions
I now have 300 miles on my new LTE 265 70 17 Mickey Thompson ATZ P3.
This includes 24 miles of Walnut Canyon, a consistently moderate trail featuring fantastic scenery, long rutted climbs, long rocky climbs, and mild wash driving.
The off-road performance at 20 psi is obviously superb, that goes without saying. I cannot say that is better than the Wildpeaks at 30 psi in the same conditions. About the same but a lot more peace of mind. Did not encounter deep sand or gravel to see if the ATZ can really do better than the Wildpeak there (as the latter was average in the deeper stuff).
The shock was tire manners on road. Basically, the heavy duty tires seem to play with the heavy duty suspension like the lighter duty SL Wildpeaks played with a softer suspension. Who would have thought that things can actually work together as they are supposed to, lol.
To top it all, I managed 20.5 mpg on 50-60 miles of steady interstate driving.
To say that the ATZ P3 have surpassed expectations so far would be quite the understatement.
