Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/T Better Than Baja Boss A/T?

[chr15m]

WHOA! I tried to drop down to 32ish on the AT's, and I got massive tire squeal around corners and in roundabouts. Gave me a lot of hesitation about them being too low, so that's when I went back up to 34-36.

I get a lot of tire roar when taking roundabouts and pushing it a bit. I'm at 36-37psi on the ATs. I used to track my S2000, tire roar is actually a good behavior IMO. Better than tires that let loose with no audible or tangible warning.

The ATs have a very progressive roar that can be pushed quite a bit before losing traction, speed and approach dependent of course. Kind of fun.

I'll just be glad when they have more C or D rated options. Like, if they had a 35x11.5 in a C rated tire, I'd probably just buy the warehouse out. That's part of why I went with the 305/70/18. Just sucks that it's still an E rated tire

Completely agree. Please give us a mid width C load range 35x11.5 and 37x11.5.

This spring I will be replacing the tires on my Beadlocks to Mickey Thompson MT's and have their AT's on my Glad for the winter wherever I go. I've always had two sets of Tires for the different climates where I've lived, I have never found one Tire that does it all. As for roundabouts you have the ultimate capable 4x4 and you have to enjoy it on the road as well, as for me I drive over them as well as curbs when someone is blocking the entrance or exit, the humming of MT's will help drown out my Wife yelling at me "NO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO...." and yes I did, she can turn down the volume on the radio, but not that distinctive HUM from the Tire to drown out her dismay, As for Tire pressure everybody has their rig setup different including weight distribution, terrain, temperature, moisture, speed, obstacles, tire size, rating. you have to play around until you find what work's for you, I know I got Damn tired of getting stuck when I knew it was my fault not the the rig itself. Enjoy JEEP life I am.

I’m not so lucky. My wife said these tires aren’t noisy at all. (Mickey 35x12.50x17 MT) Huh, what Babe ! LOL

Let us know how the Mickey Thompson mud tires do off-road. I’m considering them vs. the AT

I won't Know until Spring on the MT's, I just ordered 5 of Baja Boss A/T LT255/85R17 for this winter and I've only received one so far and I also had to order three new tires for my off road trailer before I head out to the Superior National Forest. I'll buy the MT's during Black Friday.
