Pizza Cutters - 35X10R17 Skinny Tires installed

[WILDHOBO]

Just looked it up. They are E in that size, but the 35x12.5x17 is D rated. That would make me steer clear of the 10 as well.

They are E rated, but I'm curious why that would steer you clear of them?

... because people keep parroting that all E rated tires rough riding, so that must mean it's true.

My mud terrains are 12 ply E rated and I have zero complaints. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

If you were asking about the MT Baja Boss tires, I haven't rubbed once and have now driven them on a wide variety of roads/off road. No plans for a lift. '22 Mojave.

I have a '21 Rubicon EcoDiesel and if I go up to a driveway entrance on our municipal streets and turn the wheel hard to the left or right I rub with the stock suspension.

I’d expect them to be a bit stiff for 35’s. I’d rather have the softer sidewall of the 12.5” wide 35” load D. I love my load D 37’s.

Interesting. I'm guessing the extra inch in the Mojave suspension and maybe the slightly wider offset rims is the difference.

Having run multiple C rated tires in the past I can say I hardly noticed a difference in stiffness with these tires. I've done multiple long trips with them quite comfortably (one was a 10 hour drive in December). Offroad, I haven't had any issue with the flex when aired down.

One area I can say they are far better at is steering and handling on road vs any 12.5 wide tire I've had. So much so that I'd never purchase tires that wide again unless I needed floatation. The steering difference was noticable right away over the stock AT Wildpeaks.

I'd be interested in reading the experiences of some others who purchased these tires

Good to know. All Mickey Thomsons are amazing. I haven’t had steering problems with mine, but I can feel them. But they’re 37’s, so the math changes a bit.

Yea for sure, if you're running 37s it's different. From what I can tell 12.5 is probably as narrow as you can go too. This is my first set of Mickey Thompson tires and I'm definitely enjoying them ?

They’re just so good. I love that they have so many sizes for them.

Anyone running these with 3.73 gears? If so what’s your thoughts on loss of performance.

Just put them on today, and I’m very pleased
I was in the market for a skinny 35 and nothing seemed available. I was offered these Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T in 35X10 or 255/85R17 and I’m pleased with the ride quality, and road noise is now very acceptable. I was running Nitto Trail Grapplers in 35X11.5 but the road noise was more than I could take on my daily commute.

Are you running a lift?
