Mickey Thompson tyres are well known In the car racing and four-wheel-drive community.
The company produces tread patterns specifically meant for off-road mud terrain tyres, 4-wheel drive tyres price along with high-performance race and truck tyres.Prices typically range from $245 to $500 per tyre.
Different high-performance tread patterns, speciality sizes and purpose-built products have led to generally favourable reviews for Mickey Thompson tyres. The brand works hand-in-hand with professional drivers to use their wisdom in the making of the perfect tire. For instance, there was a collaboration with racecar driver Brian Deegan to make the Deegan 38. The tyres come with a special tread pattern (5-rib) to enhance the vehicle's stability. A 5-rib tread pattern means the tyre has 5 deep and strong ribs, which operate like a series of interconnected bridges. The ribbed design provides good traction on the road surface to enhance the stability of the vehicle. An increased contact patch with the road reduces rolling resistance, therefore offering better fuel economy. 5-rib tyres have enhanced noise insulation features to ensure complete peace of mind while driving even at high speed. These tyres are more durable compared to other tyres.
The Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 is designed for all terrains. The Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ P3 is fit for different kinds of terrains (especially, mud terrain).
The Mickey Thompson Baja Boss is made for loose-surface performance and rock and boulder crawling.
The Mickey Thompson Baja Claw TTC is great for all kinds of terrain. The directional sidebiters offer ttraction and sidewall protection and mud scoops help with self-cleaning traction in deep snow and mud.A tyre having deep central grooves helps to evacuate water even when the road is completely wet.
Mud and snow tyres are designed to provide excellent traction on soft surfaces like mud and snow by means of an aggressive tread pattern that discharges dirt effectively through its numerous biting edges. This design also enhances tread life by preventing excessive wear in softer terrain.
The idea of self-cleaning traction on tyres is that dirt and mud flung from under the tyre tends to collect on the side of the tyre rather than on the tread.
This helps to prevent "clumping" of material which can result in increased aquaplaning hazard, or worse still lifting of the tyre off the ground resulting in a complete loss of traction.
The large open spaces between tread lugs ensure that mud and snow is easily flushed out, while deep grooves channel water away from beneath the contact patch for greater grip when driving in wet weather conditions.
Rather than having just one or two lugs per square inch on some tyres, winter tyres have ten or twelve ribs per square inch.
