STOW, Ohio—Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels has released another tire in its Baja line, the Baja Legend MTZ, a mud-terrain tire for both on- and off-road ventures.
According to the Goodyear subsidiary, the tire is styled with an optimized tread design and geometry in order to tackle terrain and road alike.
The Baja Legend MTZ will be offered in 35 sizes—and almost half are available with optional raised white sidewall lettering.
"This authentic mud-terrain tire is built for enthusiasts who demand legendary off-road traction with a premium on-road experience," Heather Tausch, director of product management, Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels, said.
Mickey Thompson said the attributes of the tire include:
Variable-length and depth Sidebiters for a bold look, off-road traction and protection;
PowerPly 3-ply sidewall construction for puncture resistance, quick reaction to steering inputs and stability; and
Silica-reinforced T-4 tread compound for lasting tread life, cut and chip resistance, wet handling and braking performance.
In early January, Mickey Thompson introduced the Baja Legend EXP All-Terrain tire. And in November, the brand expanded its Baja Boss A/T line, adding 11 sizes to the lineup.
