Mickey Thomsons ATZ is a good all round tyre a bit more agressive than a BFG AT but very quiet

How do they compare to BFG AT in terms of on-road performance? Most of my miles (nearly all) are on-road so I don't want to compromise safety and fuel economy any more than I have to. Off road, I know the AT's will be better than the standard Grabbers and I understand the ATZ's are a bit more aggressive still. Mickey Thomsons are made by Cooper aren't they? One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |

When i changed from BFG MT 285 75 16 to Mickey T 305 60 18 MTZ i got about an extra 30 - 40 miles out of a tank
 and now im on the ATZ the miles have gone up again. They are very quiet and should match the BFG for lasting and are more comfortable due to a bit more give in the side walls |
