Baja Boss is the best tire i have ever run hands downI think I’ve got it narrowed down to:
255/85 Baja Boss
285/75 Open Country AT3
Leaning the latter.
As my wife says…. Make a damn decision
100%Baja Boss is the best tire i have ever run hands down
I got mine for dirt cheap. B day gift from my best friend that work for discount100%

Nitto's, I went with Gladiators MTX comps 35x12.50x17 on 9 inch steel rims ..love em . Will buy again. On the lower end of that price range.285/75/17 tires going on Fifteen52 Turbomac HD classics.
These are the 3 I've narrowed it down to. They are all "similar" in price($345 to $388 price spread) and size (33.8 to 34.1")
Use will be mostly onroad, some camping, occasional overlanding, light crawling/parks etc.
The finalists are:
Toyo Open Country R/T Trail (E1, $362)
Falken Wildpeak R/T01 (E1, $388)
Nitto Ridge Grappler (C1, $343)
Any input and experience with these is appreciated, what to avoid if anything, etc.
Pics never hurt either. :P
Had a set of those once great on road tire but in this WV clay they wasn't worth a darn.I have been running these since last year and they have been great tires
LT 34X10.50R 17 120S D1 Toyo Open Country A/T 3

Year round in Wisconsin?!? None of those would be my choice. Southeast Michigan here and travel all over Wisconsin all the time (car hauling truck driver). To all of the General Motors dealerships.
You state “mostly on road, some…”
Most importantly… all-terrain tires!
As narrow as you are willing to accept too. Generally speaking… (wide tire types will dislike this, but I do not care nor will I engage with those and their rebuttals). You do not want wide(r) tires. No, 285 are not all that/or too wide. Those would be absolute max width for me, but nah.
I have had the Toyo A/Ts 285/75R17, but on a decently decked out Toyota Tundra Crewmax with HD steel bumpers, winch, sliders, etc. Heavy truck. They were OK. Actually, did not really care for them on an end of January road trip to Victor, Montana (straight south of Missoula).
The narrow Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 255/85R17 are 100% the best tire choice I have ever made. They absolutely crush on-road snow covered conditions. The only better tires are likely winter specific. I will never opt for anything but these tires for winter weather and would/will absolutely run them year round.
One can avoid the too “tucked-in” tire look with +25 offset wheels or for some poke, 0 offset wheels.
Third photo: The only reason I have the Kenda Klever R/T (point being R/T) 35x10.5x17 as my warm weather rollers, is because the Mickeys were on backorder at the time and I am impatient AF. I would not even consider an R/T during the winter.
I would sell said Kendas (6 - two have 0 miles on them) for another set of the Mickeys and would push down my grandma to get to the last set on a rack!

I'm Using E Rated tires ..Love em.. I work in Stone and rock all the time C rated tires ride like a dream on pavement but you take those suckers off road with anything other than occasional gravel and dirt and I gaurantee your waiting for a flat tire.Dont put E rated tires on.
I was thinking about E rated Nexxens. What is wrong about E rated tires?
