I am thinking of installing 265 75 16's on my stock standard JDM VX.

Any input appreciated.

IMHO, Mickeys wear too fast. Had them 3 times in my life and never got more than 2 years out of them. Great grip but very soft rubber. Fun if you like a very LOUD highway rumble. :)

Thanks for your input. I don't have a problem with wear because I can buy them with a 80,000 km (50,000 mile) guarantee. Wear them out for less, and you get that same percentage off your next set.
I am concerned about noise though.
MT make some pretty aggressive tyres - did your comment come from experience with the ATZ tyres, or a different model??
Thanks.
