Mickey Thompson Baja boss AT

Thanks.
Now the real question is, do I stick to 295s or just go 35s. Sometimes life gives choices....

 

I vote 35’s because I want to see pics.

 

265/75-16 is reported as 31.5-31.7 by multiple websites and reviews.

 

my wife was like "you got larger tires" I was like "check the size, its the same."

 

Well try and consider all the pros and cons before making that discussion. I made the jump from 33s to the MT's skinny 35s and my MPGs, and torque took a good hit :-( mostly because of the un-sprung tire weight, I'll get the actual weight difference soon but I want to say maybe so 20lbs per tire...

I have my 2nd gen re-geared to 4.88s and with 33s my truck was awesome, plenty of torque wheeling, the truck would just climb and crawl over rocks without having to bump it over obstacles all the time. On the Highway fully loaded the transmission didn't lug out or lose speed on hills it just maintained speed and cruised, even up the hills in PA. However my RPMs were running pretty high at 2800-3000 at about 72mph, but it still managed 14ish MPG so I took that loss from the re-gear as an OK because it ran so nice.

Now that I'm on the Skinny 35 I'm down to 11-12 MPG and I lost that sweet torque, the truck acts like it did when it was factory. I've accomplished more clearance but I'm back to bumping it over obstacles and it doesn't maintain speed very well on the highway going up hills causing the transmission to hunt again.

 

had these bad boys installed yesterday. 295/70/17 These things are really beefy

 

Meanest looking AT on the market. The size I've been looking at they are also the heaviest, and they seem to run larger. I do like them.

 

Haven't noticed the weight difference from my SL 285s Wildpeak and my mileage hasn't taken a hit yet. We'll see how it does once I start driving on the highway. and yeah I think these run a bit larger than 295s in other brands

 

These tires have by far been my favorite tire we’ve been installing on customers rides.

i have a ton in stock, and the best pricing guranteed

 

I was looking at 275/70/18 ST Max was right at 55lbs, AT3 XLT I think was 59lbs, and the Boss was 64lbs. Not a dramatic difference, and it should make for a tuff tire off road.

 

@AustinPaowers The 295/70 is perfect I think I'll be getting the same! Almost looks like a 35 if you dont look hard enough.

 

35psi, dirt bike in the bed and still crawling up loose, rock/dirt hills steeper than a stairwell. I think I wasted my money on the TRD spec. An SR5 with these tires aired down would do everything I need it to.

 

These are a good tire

 

Yes they consider them dual size as 34x12s on their site which is odd but they're definitely taller than normal 295s

 

Just put 255/85/17 on my rig. Love’em

 

Oh yeah! Really digging this. I have that same size on order with my local Discount Tire. Gonna mount on a fifteen52 Range HD wheel. Getting impatient, but will be worth the wait once installed.

 

What size are those?

 

How are you liking this tire size? This is the size I really want to go with.

 

37’s

 

they ride really nice. Two days after installation, I drove 1300miles to Washington. Great on the highway. Quite and road super nice. A little twitchier than my previous 285/75 coopers, but so far so good. I will be trimming my fenders as they rub at mild turn angles. I knew that was a strong possibility going in though, so no regerts.
