Dick Cepek or Mickey Thompson?

straight_six · 07-17-2009, 06:23 PM

What do you think would be the better tire? The Dick Cepek Radial F-C II or the Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ radial... Getting new rims and tires on the mega cab and I dont want to go with the toyo MT again...

I have fc ii's and they have lasted me over 70000kms on mine and they haven't given me a problem yet. That milage is with tons of burnouts and off road driving. They are pretty quiet and don't throw rocks too bad all around a good tire worth the money.

I prefer ATZ's only because I have them and have lasted a long time. What didn't you like about your Toyo M/T's?

I have the Dick Cepek Mud country tires, I like them and a buddy has the FC-II's and they have been great.

Mickey Thompson and Dick Cepek are pretty much the same tires. Depending on what size you want will determine your choices. FC-ll is no longer made in 37/12.5, only 33/12.5. If you want 37's you will have to get M.T.'s. I have had two sets of FC-ll's in 33's and liked them. Just purchased M.T.'s in 37" for my mega cab to go with 8" Rize but it's not installed yet.
