The Baja boss is also 3 peak winter rated. Necessity for me. Also quiet on the road, and dominate offroad.
I've run the Falken AT3Ws on my JKU and now my JT. Although I have been perfectly happy with the Falkens, I think I'm going to try the MT Baja Boss tires next time. Snow rated AT and a little more aggressive.

Certainly deep sand, deep offroad snow and watery mud holes are the width exception(s).

The OP’s ā€œissueā€ statement seemed more on-road oriented. ā€œNot dying on icy snow roadsā€¦ā€ whatever stated exactly.

Yup. I work from home or on remote sites so I don't exactly have a daily commute to work. But on the weekends in the winter I like to hit the mountains. My first year in Colorado I had MT's on my jeep and some of those mountain passes got downright scary. In the summer I'm camping or in the mountains probably twice a month. To give an indicator of how much I drive my jeep is a 2021 and it has 46,000 miles on it. With atleast 15k of those miles coming from multiple trips from Colorado to Ga, and Colorado to Pennsylvania to go wheeling. My biggest outing this year will be a September trip to California to do the Rubicon trail with my family.

I love everything about my Baja boss at’s, except that I’m ready for a tiny bump in diameter.

I want only 46k on my 21. I’m now over 76k. :) but every mile has been fun, especially the rubicon trip. Have a blast!

I'm going to try the Grabber as a winter tire.

I've heard a verity of reviews, and went with a bit of a Pizza Cutter.

https://generaltire.com/tires/light-trucksuv/grabber-x3
What size did you go with? I had a set of 35x12.50X17 X3's on a Ram 1500. Worst tires in Michigan winters I have ever owned. On a slushy paved intersection making a turn, that thing wallowed around like a walrus. They did well in any other terrain and deep snow, but as a daily driver in the winter, I didn't care for them.

Hopefully you'll get better results with a skinnier tire.

I will say the Grabber ATX were one of best tires I've run. I wanted another set but they discontinued them in the 37''s on a 17" rim which sucked.

Well oops. I made an impulsive decision. No logic. Just fun. It’s not my daily driver anymore, so I’m trying a round of MT’s. Won’t be as good on ice, but should be better in deep snow. Won’t last as long. Aren’t practical. But they are awesome. So screw it.

I haven’t put the rash guards back on yet, so they look a bit weird to me.

Man, those look aggressive AF. As long as you have some siping on the lugs, they should do "OK" in snow & ice. Did you stay with the 37s or go with the "tiny bump" up in size?

I couldn’t find a tiny bump in anything I thought I’d like. So stayed with 37’s.

as others have said, go with the Mickeys...I have them on my Tundra and they're phenomenal, can't wait for my stock Falkens to wear out on my Mojave so I can run to discount tire and get them on my jeep
Go get them, but after my experience Friday and yesterday, get someone other than discount to mount them.

@WILDHOBO has carried the flag well, but I’ll add a voice for Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs. I ran 35ā€ KO2s for the first 50k miles, and liked them (a little slick on wet rocks, and snow traction went to nil once they hit 40k miles), but the 37ā€ MTs have been a major step up. My first set travels coast to coast to coast more than once, ran sand, mud and snow; and even tackled Crawl Daddy with 70k miles on them! Not a slip once. I just mounted my second set. I’m a stage IV cancer patient and my truck has 129,000+ miles, so I’m pretty sure these tires will outlive us both.

The one in Montrose has treated me well...but I'll take your words under advisement, I was in there two weeks ago and it was a bunch of new kids in the bays...

Obviously different location, and I’m sure some are great. But it was the first and last time the Jeep was there. I won’t claim that a car won’t someday go there again for new ones if there is a sale, but they don’t respect the vehicles or the wheels.
