Mickey Thompson


About
1963 marked the onset of the tire company known as Mickey Thompson.  Mickey had a history with race cars from all aspects.  He designed them, drove them and even promoted them.  He teamed up with a guy named Gene McMannis who was a tire designer.  McMannis had already designed tires that had been used in multiple world renowned racing events.  Together, they would build tires for racing, off road and even street tires that would become known worldwide as some of the best.  Cooper Tire and Rubber Company now owns Mickey Thompson and has since the buyout in 2003, but they kept the Mickey Thompson name and the reputation that came with it.
Wheels
Mickey Thompson not only makes tires, they are known for their wheels too.  They manufacture truck wheels, street wheels, strip wheels and even make the replacement caps for all of the wheels that they manufacture. 
Truck
Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to find just the right wheels and tires for your truck.  Not with Mickey Thompson.  They manufacture and market not just the wheels and tires, but also all of the little accessories that go with them.
Off Road
Going off road a lot can be extremely hard on your tires.  You never know when you will run over something that will puncture them.  With Mickey Thompson off road tires, you really don’t have to worry about this.  They are extremely tough and very difficult to destroy no matter what kind of terrain you are on.
Strip
Low profile, high performance and durability are things that need to be considered when looking at strip tires or racing tires.  Those three things are all features that you will find on the line of strip tires manufactured by Mickey Thompson.
Baja MTZ Radial
This is an extreme mud tire that offers great performance on the highway too.  A must have for all of you that enjoy off road driving but want a high mileage tire for your money.
Street
Street wheels and tires are the bread and butter of any tire manufacturer.  That makes them important, but can be kind of boring.  Not with Mickey Thompson though.  Their street tires and wheels come in a variety of styles with a plethora of tread patterns ensuring that you have as many options as possible to make your decision a more thorough one and that you are completely satisfied with your purchase.
