I run Mickey Bajas 35s Load Range E on Method 106 Beadlocks on my 23 Wrangler Rubi 2 Dr. with 37 PSI on the street so the TPMS doesn't trip the idiot light and 10 PSI on the trail. I run the Mickeys again when the time comes.

Well, it's official: Ordered my new tires yesterday!

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT in 37x12.50xR17, Q124/ Load Range D.

The deciding Factor (other than all the glowing testimonies here and with other trusted groups):
- More Tread depth
- True 37" (36.9 technically)
- MNS rating (Toyo RT Trails don't have it)
- 50k mi warranty (this may have been my mistake)

Spent some time talking with Ryan Ligget @ Beadlock Marketplace who hooked it up. After talking with him about his experiences with the Boss, it was definitely more in line with my use case, and the MT's seem to do better on snow/ ice/ wet pavement in addition to performing better on the trails thanks in part to the tread pattern.

They should be here end of the week or early next week. Pretty stoked. Thanks for all the input gang, and again: Shoutout to Ryan Ligget @ Beadlock Marketplace.

Get a Tazer and you can program/drop the TPMS low pressure limit down to I believe 25 PSI. That's what I did.

Mickey Thompson tires are the goto tire in Alaska, They were on 90% of the off road vehicles that I saw and wheeled with. I am a fan of the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT. They perform excellent off road too.

JSCAN will also facilitate lower TPMS alert down to 25 psi.

For a nobby tire they are also very quiet on the road/highway.

I fully admit I may be bias. Im sure there are wonderful tires on the market but unless you want 38s and Mickey don't make em, I would go with Baja Boss.
Also, I think BB AT are phenomenal even on the trail. Problem I have with my AT is: as aggressive as they are, when I go wheeling with my boys and I see my BB AT next to BB MT mine look like tires from Tesla lol and it bothers me haha

For those of you running the Baja Boss MT's- What's your street pressure?
What's your trail pressure?

Getting them mounted tomorrow and I want to make sure it's good from the start.
2019 JLUR, daily driver, Weekend warrior.. so, all the normal stuff for hauling stuff and family, plus Winch, armor, bumpers, 2.5" lift, 37x12.50xR17 tires. Thanks in advance.

Loved the toyo, until I tried going over polished rocks in az, nothing but spin.

Not sure M/T on AT I go 29-32ps. Id say rear 30psi front 31 is great. Of course I'm too lazy to set different pressure on front and rear so I just use Kraken air system and air all 4 tires after trails to same psi.
I cannot go over 35psi not a pleasant drive, least for me. Wheels spin easier, rig feels lighter but I feel all the imperfections of the road.

Hey If it's not a biggie, can you take a measurement of your tire on the rig installed ? What's the height on them and what psi are you on? Curious to see how high they are under the weight of the vehicle.

Where have you found the milage warranty? MT does not post any warranty on their MT tires. Are you reading on the AT instead of the MT?

I could have sworn the shop sent me something but I'm not finding it. It's entirely possible it is a shop thing or I misheard him, but I'll keep looking. I definitely asked him "50k mi on the MT's, too?" and he said "yes," but again- that might be a shop thing and the relationship they have with MT. I know Ryan at Beadlock Marketplace said that MT stands behind their tires, if you have issues balancing or manufacturing defects you they will get you a new tire- Which is on the warranty section of their website.

For those with MT BB AT how did they balance?

I just went with these and not happy about how much weight they took to balance. Discount tire is ok with ordering me a new set or I pick another brand.
