I have Micheling MTX M/S on my Dakota. Great tire. Drove through a
heavy snow storm in SW Colorado last month. Handled like a dream.
Cruising along at 40mph over Yellowjacket Pass, no slipping or sliding.
A very predictable, stable, quiet tire. Takes hard corners well, too.
From all reports, I expect to get at least 70,000 miles out of
these tires. They are an expensive tire, but with the high mileage
expected they end up being cheaper than most others in the long run.
Havn't done much off roading with them, just some muddy/snowy/icy
dirt roads. Didn't have any problems. They just dug in and went.
