Tech Talk - Tires with Mickey Thompson and the new All Terrain

Tech Talk with Tony covers Tires & Wheels - What tires you should run on your Jeep, All-terrain vs mud terrain, sticky vs DOT tires, plus Mickey Thompson is on to answer questions about their tires!
Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels just released their brand new Baja Boss A/T, and it has a 50,000 mile tread warranty, an all new silica compound, has Extreme Side Biters, and is Sever Snow Service Rated! This is one LEGIT tire that we had the opportunity to test in Moab on Behind The Rocks, Metal Masher and Fins N Things, and it passed with flying colors! Mickey Thompson Tires are American Made, which is another reason why GenRight loves having them as a partner.

Hey, I’m looking to upgrade from 35 in. Tires to 37 in. Really like the Mickey Thompsons . Are the Ats and the Mts true 37 in. ? Or should I or a size bigger?

[@ronaldm6009]

33/or 35/12.50/R15 😊

[@ZephyrRandD]

Request, M/T making a Baja Boss MT in 35x11.5R17 C-Load, and 37x11.5R17 37x13.5R17 C-Load for JK's, JL's, & JT's, please. Seem like there lots of options for hardcore guys...

[@jaykanngiesser3454]

I NEED a 35x15” set of these! PLEASE Mickey Thompson, do a 15”!!!!!!!

[@davidhoran4909]

I'm impressed , how do they balance out in the 16 in version ..?

[@JB-mo8rs]

Cooper Tires make the Mickey Thompson's .

[@kelvinmann1058]

Shame on MT tires for buying out Dick Cepek tires and then discontinuing them. 🤨

[@wschellhousRFD]

Utah Bill: Can I get these in a 35x12.5 on a 15x8 wheel?

[@shttyfootjonez1]

What is the major difference between the baja boss a/t suv and the baja boss a/t? And can i wheel on the SUV version regularly?

[@GunmanJS45357]

I would also like to know how the SUV compare to the regular AT??? I know the SUV are lighter. And appears that the sidebiters are no where near as aggressive or deep as the AT . Why ? SUV should be what we put on Jeeps since it is the original SIV. The size I want ,275/65/18 , only comes in the SUV size so please tell us all the difference’s, wear expectations, puncture resistance , and why the sidebiters aren’t as deep? Also I see the outside tread block on SUV look farther apart. That is a plus for water evacuation.

[@willbriones1]

Eta on AT tire coming for 16inch wheels?

[@michaelaynes3710]

How is the road noise compared to the Ko2

[@jesseashmore8426]

I asked this to someone who switched from KO2's and he said "if anything they're quieter." He went from 35x12.5 to 35x10 so I can't say for sure if the extra width of the KO2 made it any noisier or not.

I just tore the sidewall out of a Trxus M/T running over brush, rocks, and whatever else is in my way. I’m making trails all over an overgrown farm and hill. The farmer runs solid tires in his tractor because he got tired of flats, and he says no tire will take this. I think if I get the most puncture resistance tires, I can keep doing it. I’m thinking about the Baja boss M/T (road performance is irrelevant other than going to town for gas). Is that the toughest to puncture? I’m not worried about the tread puncturing, that doesn’t seem to be a problem. I have daily drivers, but this isn’t one, this is a WK armored to 6,200 pounds with two winches and tons of gear. I run 8psi to 30psi, usually about 18 for these puncture areas. I’m not sure I will do sand again with this rig, so I might never air below 14. I never drive over 65 with this, so speed doesn’t matter. I run over a lot of cut brush too, so there are little spikes in some places that are impossible to see. What do you think? I don’t care about wear rate either, I’ve gone through three sets in 10,000 miles so….

[@timothyduggan3559]

Washchems pro50 will clean the tires. Foam it on and pressure wash it off. This stuff is awesome.

[@velazquezjaime149]

I bougth a set of 35 mickie ats for my daily jL 2 door. Now im buying another set of 35 mickie M/Ts for my yj! Mickie thompsom all the way or no way🤪

[@obamavariant9128]

Comet cleaner and a scrub brush works for a good dull black. Gets rid of stains and cleans white letters good. If only micky had that option.

[@richardross4996]

New tire three peak

[@christopherf.2102]

Any experience/real world feedback on the boss a/t in winter road conditions? Does the compound stay soft/compliant in cold? Looking to replace KO2s for comparison….

[@GenRightOffRoad]

Worked great in the snow this spring in Big Bear.

[@yodawg3469]

I live in big bear and commute to barstow/yermo,how is the atz in the winter? I'm debating either sticking with the ridge grapplers that are currently on my truck or trying something else.

[@markustolenitno]

I live near lake arrowhead im hoping that these will be good in icy conditions.

[@mgtorres1612]

Will the baja boss be produced in rise white letters?

[@coskier1969]

I own these tires and they are phenomenal.

[@refsa01]

Just bought a set 37's x17.8.5 wheels 😎

[@lqdxoni1]

ilive in mn and the bajas are working great

[@the_pirate_king]

How would these preform whilst towing about 10k ?

[@GenRightOffRoad]

The have up to an F load rating, and we currently have some mounted on our Ram2500 towing our gooseneck with about 22k, so 10k should be no problem.

[@AndrewMcSpadden]

The 35x12.5 r18 is not true. But they sell a metric version that is true. It's kind of odd.

[@DanHoopes211]

What do you mean? Runs smaller or larger than stated? I'm looking at that exact size for my Raptor.

[@DanHoopes211]

So is the 315/70-17 larger diameter?

[@AndrewMcSpadden]

In a 17 they don't have a true 35. It's 34.5 ( same as KO2) The 315x70r17 is not true 35. In 18 they have a 305/70r18 they id 35.3. If you go the the MT website and click the tire sizes it will tell you the specs, including od

[@jecaron]

@@AndrewMcSpadden ya i get what your saying.. the 35x12.50R18LT has payload of only 2910 and 34.6.. whereas LT305/70R18 is true 35s at 35.3 and load of 3750... not sure what purphose on first set it.. but they are not true 35s for sure.

[@terryjones5798]

Lol.

[@jesseashmore8426]

I just want something that looks good, is snowflake rated, and doesn't make me go deaf. My tundra is too sexy to go off-road and it's also too sexy to have bland tires on it. This tire will replace the KObro's that came on it.

[@jeremy8715]

AT in 15 wheels coming?

[@timesup6386]

Deegan 38 AT is in 15"

[@johnt6673]

I love my atz p3's, do wish they had more sipes. I have 3000.00 miles on my tires. They have been nice so far. Love the tread pattern on my tires compared to the new boss at's.

[@jessevera667]

Very nice & good looking tires, looking to purchase set of 4, for my 20X9-12 1500 Chevy Silverado very soon. Good job on the design Mickey Thompson crew.

[@timesup6386]

Wrong size for a real AT tire

[@user-cj7dv2kc6d]

Enjoy the time with your Mom!
