Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Best tire I’ve owned. And I’ve owned many. Likely going to give the AT version a whirl this next time. I think this is my 4th year on them now.

 

Awesome! Thank you.

 

I have about 12,000 miles on my Mickey AT 33s now. Wheeled all over the Ozarks and at Tigerton a couple of times as well as a lot of highway miles in all conditions, including snow. They do not disappoint! I'm very happy with them so far. I have 5 in rotation and I'm hoping I get some good life out of them.

 

I'm selling a 2006 Hood and Grille

asking $200 for the hood

and $150 for the Grille

I'll do both for $250. Local Pick-Up Only - Rockford IL - 61114 -

Thanks!

 

You will get lots of life out of them. Mickeys are some of the best tires money can buy IMO.

What I’ve been most impressed with is wet traction and sand. I can drive in beach sand 2wd without airing down. I’m sure the MT’s wouldn’t be great on snow/ice. But that’s just an MT thing. Really curious to try the AT’s. Truck is super loud with a cage and MT’s.

 

Noise was definitely a factor in me choosing the Yokos. I was looking at the BAJA MTZ also, but heard they were loud. I wonder how the Baja Boss MT compares.

Obviously, all MT's are going to be loud. I just wish there were a standard to compare road noise from one tire to another.

Based on the tread life I'm getting, performance, and the relatively low road noise, it almost seems silly for me to want something different next time. I just really like the look of those Mickeys, though.

 

The Baja Boss MT’s are on the quiet side for an MT in comparison to every other MT I’ve ran. But things resonate more with a cage so you know it’s an aggressive tire. Pre cage it was comparable to an aggressive AT.

 

Geolandar X-AT'S is where it's at!
Best of both worlds.

 

Have you run Yokohamas? I'd be curious how they compared.

I'm glad I have another season or two to think about it. Maybe it will come down to a coin toss.

I have considered a hybrid like those. I'm not sure if any of the hybrids are 3 peak mountain snowflake tires, so that makes them less appealing to me as an all-around tire. But, I could see them as a good option for a summer tire.

 

They're on my truck so I need to endorse them. lol
A little unpleasant on wet pavement before 1st 5k miles.
The only time I really hear them is when rolling to a stop. Pretty quiet otherwise.

 

Why not just get Wildpeaks and be like everyone else?

I liked mine other than the mere 30k I got out of them!

 

Pizza cutters baybay! (said in your best Bob Zany voice)

 

Slammed my undercarriage a couple times in that rock bed next to the wooden bridge.
Crossmember and t.case.
32's baby!

 

The difference between 32s and 33s is small but significant in some places. In that spot, I tagged down rather significantly last year. This year I barely touched anything.

Glad you came out and had some fun!

 

I’ve ran
Geolandars
Grabber X3
St Maxx
Duratrac
Procomp
STT pro
And finally the Baja boss MT.

Baja Boss MT comes in first for straight up performance

STT Pro’s are a close ish second place.

The rest were pretty lackluster imo.

 

Oh, and the finances truck has Toyo Open country AT3. 10/10 worst tire to date. Don’t recommend.

 

Idk anything about them.
I considered Toyo until the tire guy said "Don't do it".
That's all I needed to hear.

 

Yeah. They are dangerous as can be on wet surfaces. Had really close calls trying to pull out in traffic and on wet rocks.

Usually I had to sweet talk the reps into a deal, the toyos I got sweet talked into. Should have been my clue…

 

The SL load wear fast. I was satisfied with the traction, except in one spot out in Moab.
Running the C load since April, not long enough to comment. But this past weekend they didn't let me down.

 

You’re wild for wheeling with P-metrics lol. They are a car tire in truck tire sizes. So easy to puncture! Tread depth is also substantially less than an LT.
