Default Baja MTZ or ATZ experience?

Hey all -

Both models seem like pretty good choices for a combination of on/off road. That said, can anyone comment on a good or bad experience with either tire on wet or icy pavement?

Thanks.

I have the baja ATZ 37"x13.5 and they work good, I dislike the amount of rocks they hold. I fling rock everywhere and have a constant sound of them stuck in my tires while driving. Other than that they hold up great. I went to a mudfest event and never got stuck once! The tread did a great job of cleaning themselves too.

Edit: to answer more directly... Wet pavement and icy conditions were not a problem. (what un-studed tire is perfect on ice anyway?)

I have no experience with the ATZ, but I ran the MTZ on my Cherokee and it was decent in the icy/snowy conditions. Nowhere near where my Duratracs are though.
The MTZ are great tires overall!
