Anyone has reports/reviews for snow, ice and cold rain conditions in winter time? I'm Canada.
Thanks.

MTZ?

The MTZ are not sold as snow and ice tire, they are a great rock tire.......

maybe just not up YOUR standards.........

The price went up 6 dollars since last weeks price so it may not stay that low for long. Glad I could help out.

I have had my Toyo MT's 18 months now and still love them on and off road. Holding up nicely.

What % of tred would you say you have left Ken?

How many miles have you put on them?
