Mickey Thompson BAJA BOSS AT 20,000 mile review.

[MountainRigged]

I also love my Baja Boss AT. They mounted easily with soap and water on my Raceline beadlocks, but I did need to buy the spacers for the rings. No issues with balancing either, I took it to a shop for balancing instead of doing balancing beads.

I have 8k miles on mine and my outer lugs look like yours (minus the chunking), but that's mostly because I wheel a lot on rocks and it's chewing them up.

My only con I would have to say is these suckers are on the heavier side of tires and I can't get a full contact patch on pavement doing the chalk test at 26psi cold on these 37s.

Would be nice if they also offered a Load Range C in 37s.

Same experience

May be a stupid question, But overall how much better then the factory BF”s oem are they on road & in rain? Just thinking for the future.

I only put 93 miles on my Jeep before it was on37s. With that said, the plow truck I used in the winter to plow snow was on BF KO2 and they are good tires, but there no way that they would be as good as the Mickey Thompson off the road.

Where did you find them for $320 per tire? $450+ is what I'm seeing them for everywhere I look.

I ordered them through my local Jeep shop.

Great review Ted! How many miles are on your Jeep now?

I have 103554 miles. Will be putting another thousand or so on this weekend as we are heading home from our winter travels.

I actually just switched to these last week after having Cooper STT Pro....to be honest I missed a few tire rotations on the Coopers but the slapping drone of the tires at 50k was very bad. Read several reviews and ordered a set from Discount Tire for around $390 a tire for 35". They are great so far.....super quiet...more so than the KO2 and handle great!

I took my Cooper STT Pro tires off around 50,000 miles as they would get louder. Plus they had plenty of tread left and could still pull around $500 selling them on Facebook marketplace.

Crazy that one large gash is not leaking. Tough tires.

What do you do with your CCW when leaving the US, find a storage facility beforehand?

Looks like $344 per tire (Baja Boss) in stock Rubicon sizing-have been looking at switching my Sahara to new wheels/tires. Like the looks of the Baja Boss and review here sounds great--was considering Method Wheels (MR 306 Mesh) as part of a package. Thanks for the detailed review on the tires. Just what I am looking for (Kansas City daily driver, and regular trips to Colorado for some light/med wheeling--nothing serious, yet.......)

I have these same tires on my Dodge Ram 5.9 and they are great in rain...granted a 5.9 is a pretty heavy truck, so even racing slicks feel planted lol

Wait, @wibornz are you in NC now?

I just purchased 5 (35x12.50R17) tires at Discount/America's Tire last week for $395 each. M/T is still having the $100 rebate if you purchase 4 tires.

I have driven many miles in the rain, They perform great in the rain. Heck just back from driving in the rain.

I was surprised that it did not leak. I was expecting it to fail. It is still holding air with zero leaks.

I rented a 5th wheel camper in Arizona for the four months. I left my guns locked up in safe that I then hid in the camper. The camper was in a decent area out in the desert with a couple other people living in the area. So it was not a big concern. The area of Mexico was pretty safe and had a low population and was way safer than Detroit Michigan.

My Jeep is heavy. It is about 5800 pounds then throw me and my wife in it and have it full of gear like this.

and one fat ass dog.

We are probably well over closer to 7,000 pounds.
