Scheduled to debut in June 2015, we got to see the new Mickey Thompson Baja MTZp3 at the 2014 SEMA Show. We talked to Don Creason of Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels about the new MTZp3.
“Our new mud terrain tire replaces the current MTZ and has been designed with a unique silica-reinforced tread compound for longer wear, enhanced wet weather capability, and superior cut and chip resistance. The tread lugs are designed for better traction and stone ejection, and angled shoulder scallops with mud pocket scoops help dig through mud and loose soil. The sidewall has SideBiters that also add to the tire’s excellent traction capabilities.”
Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels also revealed at the show a new wheel line developed with five-time Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series (LOORRS) champion Brian Deegan. The Deegan 38 wheels, scheduled for availability in March 2015, will debut with two styles for pickups, SUVs, and Jeeps – the Pro 2 Black, and the Pro 4 Black.
The Deegan 38 Pro 4 wheel is a heavy duty wheel that features a race-inspired eight-spoke design with a two-stage matte black finish and a logo crested pop-top center cap. The Pro 4 will be available in 15- to 17-inch fitments, and carry a limited lifetime warranty as well as a one-year warranty on the finish.
Available in 15- to 20-inch fitments, the Deegan 38 Pro 2 wheel features a multi-dimensional eight-spoke design with a two-stage matte black finish and logo crested pop-top center cap. The Pro 2 also offers a limited lifetime warranty as well as a one-year warranty on the finish.
