I have a set of MickyT ATZ 33'' and MTZ 35''. The 33''s are on the 2dr and 35''s are on my 4dr. For wheeling purpose I would say the MTZ, for road handling and I know nothing about the Nitto there just less aggressive looking. Now when I put my MTZ on the 2dr with the shorter wheel base and no carpet in the jeep the MTZ where very load on the road. Also have you taken a look at the Cooper STT? They make Micky T's and are basically the same tire as the MTZ but a little cheaper.

Toyo and Nitto are sister companies. The weight difference between the two (or all three tires, for that matter) isn't really that much.

I don't think you'll go wrong with any of these tires. Have heard good things about both.

Sounds like people like both which is what I expected. I think I'm leaning more towards the MTZs. Both are functional for what I need but the MTZs just look great.
