Check out the M/T website and their SEMA show YouTube videos it’s total eye candy, some of the best news for the Squarebody lover since the first Square came off the assembly line !

Remaking the Baja Belted tire? Or is there other news?

That tire doesn’t excite me whatsoever. The size offerings are ridiculous for street trucks. I don’t think normal, street driven vehicles are the target market though.

No weights given, but I bet the 33x15.50 ends up weighing over 100lbs. That’s a lot of unsprung weight and rotating mass for the average application. Again, they’re probably shooting for the form over function crowd, so there’s a reason I’m not so excited.

They are aiming at people like me, lol. I've really missed the availability of wide tires. 33x15.5 has my name all over it for a street truck.

One of my favorite sayings is, “There’s an a$$ for every seat”

They used to make that size in the early to mid 2000's. I had some of the 375/55/16 Dick Cepek FCII on my Tahoe. E rated and were 80 something pounds IIRC. Everything old is new again.

Now if they would just make a 29"-30"ish inch wiiiide street tire for a 15" wheel that doesnt cost $500 they can really rule the planet lol

They still offered a couple wide sizes this whole time. I've got a set of the Baja MTZ's in the 36x15.5 r16 size, although I don't remember the metric equivalent size. 375/65r16 perhaps. But anyhow, I just went to look up the specs and discovered they are no longer offered. Bummer.

Yes sir that was what they were listed under 375/65. ATZ, MTZ and there was another style I think but dont remember for sure

I know they discontinued the 33's way back. I needed to replace the fronts due to the front eating upper ball joints and couldnt find any. After I got that issue fixed I wound up switching to 20s.

We think alike Bucket !!! Yip those 15.50's on those Classic III wheels 17X12 minimum 17X14 if released when I'm ready to purchase, spinning them over with a PF4 injected 572 don't give a rats behind what they weigh in at.... Keep that old school look and have some wide a$$ hoofs !

 

[TotalyHucked]

I always wanted to run a 33x15.50 MTZ on one of my NBS trucks, saw lots of guys on the GMFS forum running them. By the time I could afford them, they were discontinued

I had the 17.5/35-15s and they looked great, but tricky in heavy rain. great in the snow. They're in my avatar pic.
