- [Josh] Part rebranding, but mostly performance upgrades
with the new Mickey Thompson legend MTZ.
Now, if you guys are even a little bit familiar
with Mickey Thompson tires,
well then you're already familiar
with their Mickey Thompson MTZ, the P3.
The P3 is a little bit older technology.
So Mickey Thompson came out with a brand new legend MTZ.
So you might be asking yourselves,
well what are the differences exactly?
One of them being
in one of the biggest differences that you're gonna find
is their new proprietary silica blended tread compound.
This tread compound is designed to be a little bit quieter
on the road,
more traction, both on and off road
and better chip and cut resistance.
So you're really getting a more improved tire
with the tread compound all the way around
with the new legend MTZ.
And along with the redesigned silica tread compound
you're also getting a slightly redesigned side wall
tread pattern down here or the side biters
because each
actually every other side biter
on here has a four degree angle,
to pitch to it to help
not only for forward momentum and traction
but also for reverse traction as well.
When you're trying to get out of those precarious situations
out in the trails or the ruts or anything like that.
And then as far as the tread design on these guys,
now these do have what it looks like on the new legend MTZs
is it does appear that the shoulder lags
are a little bit more aggressive than the P3 MTZs.
So whereas you get that more closely compacted together
center tread design with like what you do
on a hybrid tire to help reduce that road noise,
but you still get the open large aggressive shoulder lags
that help with that at mud and snowy evacuation
or any of that loose debris evacuation,
and still get that extra additional like aggressive off-road
(gate opens)
Jordan! - [Jordan] I fucked up!
(Josh laughs)
- [Josh] More closely compacted together center tread design
like you would see on a hybrid
that really helps reduce that road noise
or that howl at highway speeds.
And then a along
with that sort of hybrid-looking tread design on here,
each individual tread block does have one sip
on that tread blocker or in that tread block.
And that helps with driving on wet surfaces,
helps with that traction when you're in the rocks
while off road.
And it just allows the tread block
to just a little bit more instead of being so rigid
if it didn't have that one sip in the tread block.
So besides that the tire looks relatively the same.
There is a little bit of difference
in the size of the tread blocks,
and that really helps kind of cut down
on some of that road noise.
So you're getting a tire that's more well balanced
for both on-road and off-road performance.
Now these are available in 35 different sizes
right out the gate,
and you can find them guys right on our website
at trailbuiltoffroad.com
or by clicking the link in the description below
and make sure you guys stay tuned to our channel
because we are definitely going to
be releasing some more information
as we get it from Mickey Thompson on these new MTZs
as we were able to try them out
and really put them to the test
when we were out in Moab, Utah,
for Easter Jeep safari,
and we had them on icon vehicle dynamics.
Their redesigned JLU with dyna track axles
and 40 inch MTZs, the new legend MTZs.
And they were really able to grab and grip
and pretty much hook
onto every single thing that we went over out there.
Plus we didn't have any single issues
with cuts or punctures or,
but they were really quite phenomenal
when we were out in Moab.
So we're really interested to see
how well these things perform all over the place and the mud
and all their different situations and terrains
and like that.
So they've already been proving themselves, like I said
on the icon vehicle dynamics JLU,
even on the road they were super well balanced
and pretty quiet.
Even running at 15 PSI on the road,
they were really well mannered.
So pretty interested to see more
about these or hear more about these from Mickey Thompson.
They really get into why they came out with this MTZ legend
and what the whole design and story is behind it.
So we're gonna be talking to those guys here
in a little while and giving you guys some more information
as we go through them.
So guys, again, we already have these available
on our website at trail built
or by clicking the link in the description below.
And guys, if you do have any questions
or if you're looking for any additional information
on these new MTZ legends or the legend MTZ,
definitely make sure and let us know
in the comments below.
And guys as always,
we appreciate all of you for watching
and all of your support.
I'm Josh from Trail built
and we'll see you guys,
out on the trails.
