so making a decision on AT tires has consumed my life for the last 2 weeks. I just saw a video where this guy claimed he put a crazy amount of miles on his Mickey Thompson tires and they still looked insanely good. I’m probably going to get these tires. I drive 80% on road and 20% off but I don’t do crazy stuff
I definitely can identify with being consumed by deciding on an AT tire! I can't afford to run snow tires in the winter, and AT tires the rest of the year, so finding a tire that can do it all is the Holy Grail. Based on all of the research and personal experiences the past few years running tires on everything from full-size pickups to crossover SUVs, I am confident that I can identify the top 4 AT tires for year-round use in all conditions... 1. Goodyear Wrangler Ultra Terrain AT (available only through Discount Tire). 2. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT 3. Falken Wildpeak AT3 (the AT4 gave up too much snow performance) 4. BFG KO3 AT (snow and wet performance is drastically improved over the old KO2s) A cheaper runner up is the General Grabber AT.
I have run my MT for a year now and although it didn’t snow here this year they have out performed mt KO2 (that I loved expect durning heavy rain they would hydro plane) they do make a little bit more noise and gas mileage may or may not have been impacted, it’s different enough to may me wonder but not conclusive since I dont keep logs
@@Sandppy yeah, the Baja Boss is a very tough tire, so it is heavy, which affects gas mileage. I drive a lifted Jeep on 35's, so gas mileage obviously isn't a major concern for me, lol. But for those wanting to maximize mileage in an AT tire, the MT might not be the best choice.
@ I’m doing 33” with a 2” lift, but it is really my teraflex Nomad rims that are heavy (for rims) but I love how well they hold up, the quick air down valves, the vavle protection and next to bead locks their tire retention system is one of the best for DOT rims
I went with 17x9 Dirty Life rims. They weigh 34lbs. The MT tires weigh 69lbs. Huge increase in weight and was very noticeable in lost performance and efficiency.
Thanks for this video! Just got my first Jeep, a 24 Willys that came with the Falken Wildpeak MT mud tires. Theyre a little too intense for my needs, looking for something less heavy...hows the highway ride and noise level?
@TheOfficerBell noise level is not noticeable to me, but these have a very stiff (tough)sidewall and do ride stiffer. I run mine at 30 psi and they ride much better. The new BFG KO3 is worth looking at as well for awesome snow traction with a quieter and nicer ride.
The Baja Boss AT has the internal construction of the MT but with the AT tread pattern. As such it is still a heavy tire so if talking durability off road that is great but if looking for MPG on road you will not gain much.
@@brypur8629 Thanks for that. I appreciate the break down. I’m more of a weekend warrior….so my Jeep will be city/highway driven probably 75% of the time. Gotta find the right balance.
On such roads, when the person is alone and the car breaks down, there is a lot of tension and fear. you are not afraid Looking at your personality it seems that perhaps you are not afraid.
I just did a little shakedown in some snow for these tires as well. A+ performance. I won’t be buying a different AT ever again
Interesting to see the tires in snow. I only have the standard BFG KO2 on my Jeep and I try to avoid snow as much as possible.
U shouldn't they work amazing in snow and rain I got 35 ko2 on my jeep Rubicon

What size wheel did you go with? Did you notice the added weight?

@@treyveston7965 Thank you very much! I appreciate the insight.

It's a very scary road. If you ever have to cross it at night, you're bound to get scared.
Hey dude do u use lt type tire or standard load tire.
I run the LT for increased toughness on the trail. Certainly not needed for towing due to the Wrangler's anemic 3500lb rating.
@treyveston7965 In this case, is sd load baja boss sufficient for Lt type version? Right?
