you are correct and I have found My 3 sets of mickey thompsons to weigh what they are supposed to and my bfg's have also weighed what they are supposed to..the EXP is lighter than either of the other baja boss mt and at in 37's. I almost went with those but ultimately went with the bb at and glad I did. the extra weight and size going from a 35 mickey bb mt in 35 which weighed 71lbs to the BB a in 37 which weighs 80lbs has not been negative at all.
The MT site itself shows the 35's are 71lbs. The same site shows 37's at 79lbs.
you are looking at the wrong tire...he said the baja legend EXP go to the bottom and you will see it is 70lbs the 35 is 64lbs

I switch back and forth from 35x10 on stock wheels with 1" spacers and the 37's on AEV bora the weight difference 20lbs per....I do not notice a difference as far as suspension...when I go from the 35's I do not notice a seat of the pants power difference however when I go from the 37's to the 35's I feel a power difference for a little while and then it is back to normal...I switch back and forth out of boredom but definitely looks better and performs better offroad with the bigger tires.. my mpg is within tenths...my suspension is designed to handle 37's so no issues from that aspect of things..
That's some good info. I do have a FlashPaq from SuperChips. Among a host of other settings, it does allow for tire and wheel size input. The tire size can get very specific, down to a 1/4". It also makes changes to the transmission shifting points as well. Now whether or not the transmission flash factors in tire/wheel size, I do not know.
I has asked in a different post a month ago, tire post, if anyone had experience with the MT EXP and nobody chimed up. Glad you did. Knowing I'm not doing any highly technical trails, I was searching for a tire that will perform well on the highway. From my reading, the MT BB AT is hit or miss on highway handling. If I knew how they would work for me, they would be my first choice. I also looked at the MT Baja Legend XS but they are running 80lbs in 37x12.5x17. Glad I have plenty of time to decide.
not sure I have read a negative on the bb at on the highway...I drive fast being in montana and handles twisty roads extremely well. rain, ice snow, dry...I have two sets on in 35x10 and the 37's and both have done exceptional on the highway. we do this stretch about several times a month in all kinds of weather and never an issue. also drive from Missoula to Bozeman all the time about 80mph all the way there and back. I have 23000 miles between the two sets and so far so good.
That second pic has me wanting to ride Bear Tooth Pass again.not sure I have read a negative on the bb at on the highway...I drive fast being in montana and handles twisty roads extremely well. rain, ice snow, dry...I have two sets on in 35x10 and the 37's and both have done exceptional on the highway. we do this stretch about several times a month in all kinds of weather and never an issue. also drive from Missoula to Bozeman all the time about 80mph all the way there and back.

that is actually Highway 12 from Lolo pass to Lowell idaho...best motorcycle road nobody knows about....right out my back door really..off that road there are two incredible jeep roads that are not tough but dirt for over 100 miles each in the middle of wilderness...Lolo Motorway and magruder corridor google them and make an effort to try and do them. both are worth making a trip for.
I'll look those up. Living in Colorado, I have gotten to ride some great roads over and over but the one time I rode Bear Tooth Pass, it was on a whole new level. Never got to Glacier NP but it's on the list.
Bear tooth pass is special for sure...I have done it many times and one that never gets old..there is some pretty cool offroading in that area as well.
Since you have and use both 35's and 37's do you notice much difference off roading between the two?Bear tooth pass is special for sure...I have done it many times and one that never gets old..there is some pretty cool offroading in that area as well.
