Yeah it's kind of hard to go wrong with Mickey Thompson. No matter what you're getting a badass tire.
| Model | Load Range | Plies | Weight |
| XS | C | 4 | 86lbs |
| MT | D | 3 | 79lbs |
Yeah they measure 60 with the durometer. Most tires are 65-75. Stickies are usually 55 and under. The Baja Boss X is about 45-50 so yes the XS is softer, which is great for grip.
Why would you think the BB ATs would be prone to hydroplaning? They have a lot more void area and sipes than most other tires. I've been running them for like 400 miles on/off-road and the only negative so far has been the weight, which impacted braking, acceleration and fuel consumption negatively by ~20%.
I wouldn't/didn't but ya never know until you drive them and I wanted to provide feedback for others considering purchasing them. Their weight is not much more than my stock 33" Falken MTs according to Mickey Thompson and Falken websites specs.
I switch back and forth between my BB AT's in 255/85-17 and 37's and it is crazy I get the same mpg with both sets with in tenths of mpg over the same routes...have had both to Moab 2X's. switching from the pizza cutters to the 37's seat of the pants is not real difference in acceleration but going the other way I can tell the pizza cutters accelerate better. lots of balance weight on the 37's and very little on the pizza cutters but they both roll smooth down the highway. the 37's roadforced out very nicely so the balance weights don't bother me.
the 34s are a bit less than 65lbs, the 37s are 80 lbs, with a much greater frontal area (13" vs 9"), how can you possibly get the same mileage? Do you have a rooftop tent, lights or rack or anything else that dominates the fuel economy factors?
