Unexpected problem with new M/T Baja Boss A/T's

[MaxStrategery]

Hybrid tires pretty much all do this IMO.
if you want a true “AT” and you’re really focused on road manners and longevity, id recommend the cooper at3 xlt. I run these on my entire work fleet. Superb wear, dead quiet, all terrain enough for lots of use cases

Not too interested in manners, I expect 45-50K out of these, I don't drive aggressively, however, uneven wear at 400 miles is concerning. The tire dude mentioned same thing about all the aggressive tires at, MT , hybrids with larger blocks wearing funny, but he said 400 miles is too soon.

I'm very happy with my Yokohama Geolander X-AT 37s so far (~15k miles in). D-range like the Mickeys, and have been monsters off-road, they wrap and fold and flex and don't give a shit. Wearing well, on track for 50k miles. They were dead quiet at first and gained some noise after 10k, but IMHO still very reasonable noise level. Nothing to complain about... except they might not quite exist any more. Doesn't seem to be stock anywhere

Just put them on earlier this week and broke it them in this weekend for a few hundred miles. So far I'm loving them. Super smooth and quiet. Good traction on the little rain and mud we had on the trails. This replaced a set of Toyo RTs with well over 40k miles. They got pretty loud a bit rough but still usable treads left. As mentioned by thesolarwizard, these are not ATs. They're look to be even more aggressive than the Toyo RTs. I wouldn't expect them to do as well on road as true ATs others are mentioning.

37” M/T BB ATs installed late fall ‘22, just past 45k on a five tire rotation. No issues on highway or in off-road use, and both have been pretty heavy. Honestly, the best set of tires I’ve ever owned. I expect another 10-15K easy, and I’ll get another set to replace them.

If your rig is right, it must be just a bum set. If they’ll warranty them, get a fresh set. Odds are you’ll run fine.

keep us updated on how they do over next 5-10K miles. The boys in Australia put these BB At's through hell and swear by them. I am likely going to take a straight replacement on these.

I think that I what I am going to do. Thanks. Are you seeing any uneven choppiness on inner tread blocks at all?

Nothing I’ve ever noticed, but I’ll take a harder look in the daylight. Noise has been low. Rain and snow and mud and sand are no issue. And they track beautifully at highway cruising speeds. Couldn’t be happier.

I see those Yokomamas on Discount Tire.

Tire shop noticed today that my 37 Baja boss's with around 400 miles on them are all showing "choppiness" or uneven tread wear on inner blocks. Air pressure is right, alignment is right, no off-roading , no hard acceleration or sharp curves/turns, nothing but easy daily driving.

The choppiness is obvious on a couple of the tires but is present on all of them.

Tire shop offering to warranty them out an put a replacement set on but want me to either go with the same tires or they suggested TOYO's with less mileage warranty.

Does any of this issue with the M/T BB At's sound familiar? Anyone experience this? Really like the tires, so far, but at 400 miles with choppiness showing up already don't know if I would risk it.

I’m on my second set. Couldn’t be happier. What pressure are you running?

I didn't notice anything until tire shop showed it to me. Inner tread blocks are alternating sitting higher and lower, its random but noticeable. Outer blocks look fine. Weird. After watching the Australian wheelers punish these Baja Boss's I was pretty much very impressed. Mine is riding beautiful on paved.

37 psi, what about you?

I went back and forth between those BB ATs and the Toyo RT Trail before finally settling on the Toyos. My guy has installed thousands of tires, and he said he’s never had a Toyo come back for being out of round but has had multiple Mickeys come back. The Mickeys were more money and I would have easily bought them if he said they were good. I’m 2 months in and 5k miles, so far I’m happy with my decision. I really don’t care if they’re E F G or K rated, I drive a truck not a Mercedes.

That’s likely the issue. Mickey Thomson said to run these at 27psi cold. 37 was for stock c rated 33’s.

27???

 

[WILDHOBO]

27???

Absolutely. Call Mickey Thomson. they’ll have you read the door label, and ask what size tires. If you have 37x12.5x17lt Baja boss at’s on a gladiator, 27 cold is the recommendation.
