I’ve lived my two sets of Mickey Baja Boss A/T tires, and I’m getting to within a few thousand miles of needing to replace them. I’d love a review of legend exp model from someone who has used them on road, offroad, and in the winter. My off-roading is mostly rock crawling and some desert stuff. I do as little mud stuff as I can avoid. My understanding from talking to Mickey is that they’re as good as the Baja boss at on everything but ice. They’re lighter which has me considering them. They claim they’re better in deep snow than my current tires. Any experiences people would like to share, I’d appreciate. Thanks.

I have just started running them. No dirt yet. They seem fine so far. You will want to upgrade your basic steer stuff as you will get feedback from the bigger heavier tire. My stock 33" oem setup drove just fine, no DW or anything. I added the 37's and some beadlock ready wheels (40lb add between upgraded tires and upgraded wheels over OEM) and got some less than desirable steering hiccup's.

I have them at 28 psi right now.

They don't make a ton of noise at highway speeds.
Haven't really been in snow yet....AZ thing.....

Sorry not much help, they look good if that matters ;)

Thanks. All my steering is highly upgraded. I’ve been on 37’s for most of its miles. Just thinking about going down 10lbs per tire if these work well. Let me know if you take them and do some rock crawling.

Any update?
They seem fine, it's been a few months, the MT's have deep lugs and seem to find traction pretty easy. Call me crazy but they seem to break in, when new they were a little stiff seemed a little out of balance when first driven until warm up. After a few month they seem more pliable and in balance and not needing to "warm up". They have a heavy caracas so my though is it took a little while for things to settle in.

They seem to chunk a little easier then some tires but not bad, and there is a lot of rubber so some chunks missing won't be a problem.
