We are excited to be testing out the new Baja Boss All-Terrain tyre from Mickey Thompson. Mickey Thompson tyres are known the world over for their superior performance in the off-road segment. Having won multiple Dakar, Rally plus many more off-road championships, we are thrilled to be putting these on our test Ranger Raptor for the next 10,000km or maybe more!
They look awesome! Super aggressive for an All-Terrain so lets see how they go. We'll keep you updated on the journey of these tyres over on our socials otherwise tune in for the 10,000km review. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Best tyre reviews anywhere online. Love it
Thanks for the love, Donato!
I got these right before doing 600miles on the WABDR. Wow.. I’ll be buying these as long as they’re making them..
Good feedback. I live in Washington and just did section 2 of the WABDR. I looking to replace the stock tires on my 4Runner. How are they in the rain?
@@inttruders sections 3 & 4 are vastly gnarlier than 1 & 2. They’re great in everything tbh.
I’ve got these on my 4wd. By far the greatest AT on the market. They work great on the beach, in the mud, on grass, on gravel and on wet and dry bitumen. Very quiet too. Can’t hear the big knobs on the bitumen at all.
2 weeks ago while driving home on a wet road, a kid in his bike jumped out in the middle of my lane while I was doing about 60kph. I slammed on the brakes and jerked the wheel to the right to miss the kid. To my astonishment, I missed the kid and I didn’t over steer or under steer. These tyres saved the kids life. If I had the KO2 or KM2 I had previously, it would have ended very differently.
Getting the size you want is a problem. I waited 6 months for the 255/85/17 and gave up waiting. I ended up getting 295/70/17.
Holy crap! That's some pretty mad feedback. So good you had great tyres on there!
If you're keen, make sure you leave a review for them on www.tyrereview.com.au, as then it'll be in the database to inform others forever more, plus you'll go in the running to win a fuel card 🤘
How did you get 295/70/17 when did you get them? I’ve had them on order for 2.5 months
Another great vid!
Thanks mate!
I’ll be buying a set of these !!
I have the new Toyo R/T trail tire and I love them.
Have them and love them.
Just ordered a set of thr ATs. Expensive but buy once, cry once. You get what you pay for.
Edit: I've had them on for about 1 1/2 weeks now. Have not had the chance to go off road yet. On road they've been very quiet for a very aggressive A/T tire no road noise above my 2017 Ford F250 6.7 liter diesel. We did get a mad downpour last week and I was driving home to a furious rain storm so I experienced them rolling through water puddles and ponding. The widely spaced tread blocks allowed water to pour out so I didn't feel any hydroplaning--- but then I also didn't drive like an idiot either. The tread looks like it will churn through dirt and gravel and as winter comes will easily crush snow. I plan to go doen to Monument Valley in a few months and drive through the dirt tracks as I haven't been back in 12 years. I have the fullest confidence that I will be well served by the Mickeys.
I’ve got the ATZs. This will definitely be my next purchase for my Prado if they come in the right size.
Great to hear! I'm in the first few thousand k's of a long term test, and they're pretty spot on so far 👍
Thanks for the video, can you explain how to differentiate the inside to the outside of the tire..
I will get those and I wanna be sure before I get them on..
Ordered these to replace my razr at811, pleased to see your positivity about them.
Awesome! Let us know how you go with them on the site, when you've got some K's under your belt 🤘
How'd you find your razr at811? I've got them now.
@@adamboulton236 loved them for everything I’ve thrown at them, only didn’t last as long as I hoped so ordered Baja as they sounded similar but had a bit more tread depth, hopefully they perform as well as the 811.
@@matangistationI’m torn between these 2. Which would you buy again?
I only got just over 40 thousand kms on them too, so I opted for Falken wildpeak rt last month, they seem to be somewhere between the 2. Seem worth considering too I think.
Once the Toyo Open Country AT3 lands, looking forward to hearing more on that
Yeah! I'm trying to get my hands on one for a studio feel up ✋
Toyo AT3 is the LITE. Can't wait to get my hands on them Toyo AT3
I put these on my '23 luxury SUV. They're relatively quiet for such an aggressive A/T. I get more comfort knowing my vehicle has one of (if not THE) best A/T tire on the market. Price? Was about $1800 for four 22" tires. Probably the most expensive (non-sports car) tires I have purchased, but on a six-figure SUV, don't want to cut corners.
Looking forward to a long term test
Me too! They're performing pretty well so far.
Good video guys! I am quite interested in these after having an excellent run with the ATZ P3, bulletproof tyre although very noisey. What does concern me is the weight. These are significantly heavier (66lbs) than the old P3 (56lbs) and heavier than the Toyo RT (59lbs). That’s a whole 10lbs heavier than the old P3 in a 285/75R16 !
I think you're spot on. Since popping these on my bus, the fuel efficiency has dropped, which will be the weight. I've come from a mid-weight AT, so probably would have been the most marked difference there could have been with the tyres I run. It comes down to the intended purpose, and whether you need something that's as tough as nails like this one, or whether you can step back a notch. That said, I reckon this tyre should be significantly quieter over its life, given that it's got about 17 years of development on the ATZ P3, so that aspect will be better 👍
@@TyreReviewVideos Completely agree. Its always a compromise! hope they serve you well
Any idea how deep the sipes are? They look shallow and not full depth. Thanks
Can you please do the kenda rt 601?
I feel like these will be quite be noisy from the aggressive tread pattern? I had a similar deegan 38 on my old prado 120 and lucky the thick windows drowned out the noise
Hi Jared
Just inquired about this tyre ,which is 265/60/18 .But when I mentioned the way the tyre need to be fitted to the way you mentioned ,he told me it will fit either way . So is there a difference to point out to this gentleman.
Buy the way my size is not available here on the Sunshine Coast Qld & MT can not give an ETA
Thoughts on the standard load Baja Boss at?
What is the real world difference between the HT and non HT models listed??? My tire size 265/60R18 has both listed. Cheers
My two trucks, 3rd gen tacoma and 2000 f-150 v6 manual are both pretty weak on the power, and they do well with SL tires. I'm offroad driving on lava rocks 60% of the time and have enver popped a tires. I think it comes more to the driver not being an idiot and looking at everything his tires are rolling over and picking proper lines and speed. I'd love to run the load E's but my trucks are wimps and gas is expensive.
That's pretty spot on. We can always go for big heavy tough tyres, but at a fair difference with weight, and all the things that knock on from that, it comes down to what you actually want out of them 👍
Overland torque tune
Great review, but min 3:54 what's up with the middle finger!!!! Lol
good review but would you please review the nokian outpost at many thanks your opinion is important to me
Thanks Doug. We don't get the Nokians down here, aside from special import winter tyres. The Outpost looks good, though 👍
How's the long term review going on these? I am currently running some KO2's, and want to go up a size ... and have been wondering if I should stick to what I know (KO2's) or try these instead? Have also been eying off the Toyo AT3's, but no ETA on those here is AUS. As I'm focused on 3PMS tyres (rules out the Nitto Ridge Grappler for me), I was really tossing up these Baja Boss A/T's against the KO2's ... thoughts?
Hey mate! It's finished and in the can. You've probably already moved on, but they're actually a great tyre. Hopefully we'll have the review out in the next few weeks 🤘
been waiting for them to be available in Australia ever since they were released in the states, I'll be interested in in what time has to say as people get them out in the Bush
Yeah, definitely! I'll be taking these on a road trip to Uluru, as well as giving them a beating in the Tassie bush, so I'm keen to see how they roll 🤘
I'm having a hard time deciding between these, the Yokohama Geolandar X-AT, and the Falken Wildpeak A/T
Really depends on the bus you're looking at running them on, and what you'll be doing with them. Keep in mind that the Wildpeak is theoretically a very tough 2 ply sidewall tyre, while the other two are 3 ply. The Baja Boss AT is actually better on wet roads than the X-AT, but I'll be curious to see how it wears, as the X-AT wore really well. It's a toss up!
If you're looking for someone to test a set I'd be happy to put them through their paces on a 2015 kakadu prado. Would look great on my method 703's. Would love to see how they compare against the Maxxis razr at811 I'm currently running. Need a 305/70/r17. 😂 Great video and review! Cheers.
Hahaha, if you're prepared to roll with a slightly smaller size (295/70R17) and can come to Tassie to pick up, then you're welcome to continue the long term test after I'm done with them 😅
I'm keen to see how they go as well! They're already measuring up pretty well against the 811, Ridge Grapplers and similar, but I'll be keen to see how they go in the wet on road, as well as (of course!) off road 🤘
@@TyreReviewVideos the 295 is 12.1” wide and 33.7” tall. This tire runs way wider than any other comparable tire so should be about the same size this person is running. The numbers on the tire aren’t that close to actual size Mickey Thompson lists on their website
@@alexs825 That's really interesting. I should get the tape measure out and check the ones I'm running. They certainly look big on the vehicle.
We're is the long term review
I purchased them they look awesome. My first aggressive all terrain tire. I was waiting for your review but purchased them. What are your thoughts so far ? It’s a little louder than the standard tires I had and my fuel consumption has gone up. I found that the car handles a little better as I have 10ply sidewall but a little less comfortable ever so minor as the looks of the tire have made my car look amazing. Lc300 gr with standard alloys
@thegeneral I finally was able to run in rain cause we just got some you can feel safe no hydo planning just cut right through the puttel could feel it cut right through 04 Tacoma good in mud and slush and snow great tires 285/70r17
I received this from MT support. “The siping on the edges is 15/32 deep”. Doesn’t this shallow siping make the tire less effective after they have some miles on them?
You're right that once you wore past the sipes they wouldn't do anything, but that's actually not too far off the full tread block depth on some of the BBAT sizes. They range between 16/32 and 18.5/32, so you'd only have a maximum of 3/32 left when you've worn past them. I think they helped save my bacon recently, which I'll go into in more depth in the long term review 💪
How do you find the Baja Boss AT's? I am considering replacing my KO2's with them
I'm liking them so far! Having a bit of trouble with balancing them, but that could also be my driving...
I would love to put these on my 300. Do you think a 35x12.5x17 will fit on it?
Not without some serious, serious work, unfortunately! It'll be interesting to see if Superior Engineering do a weld in lift for the 300 like they did with the 200 💪
As the Baja Boss AT is asymmetrical would I need to run 2 spares?
That's a fair point. You'd be right to run a single spare that'll get you to wherever you need to go, but it'd be wise to head to a tyre shop sooner rather than later to get it mounted the correct direction 🤘
I laugh when you put your nose through the tire to show depth 😂
If they're on your rig now, how have you found them in the wet ?
Hey mate, they are, and they're actually remarkably good. I drive like a hoon (it's my job!) in the wet to test them out, particularly around round abouts, and several thousand K's in they've yet to let go on me properly. It'll be interesting to see how that's going at the 10k km mark, but right now they're getting that vote 👍
@@TyreReviewVideos thanks so much. I think these might be our winners to replace our Cooper AT3s that have never been great in the wet and kind of rubbish in mud too. But they've done 70ks now so they get points for longevity I guess 😂
@@PonyPerfektion Ha, nice! Let me know how you go with them 👍
I’m confused ..are you saying after 315/70 these aren’t snow rated anymore? How could that be?
Wide tread reduces pressure o teh snow
These tyres are not currently in production with no ETA on current orders.
That's not true... they're in stock right now.
@@brianthompson9485 I've had mine on order since 12/3/21 and the dealer called them in front of me. M/T reply was "No ETA."
@@tomsnider7611 These are A/T. I just ordered a set a received them this week.
@@brianthompson9485 when he says M/T I think he means Mickey Thompson? I second you though, I called Jax tyres and they have them in stock here in Australia.
Checked with 4WP and ordered my set should have them this week. No idea why Mickey Thompson wouldn't fill my back order.
Man I miss the P3’s 😭 I’m due but goddam I have to save to get these at $610 a tyre Micky T’s know we’re hooked & are railing their consumers. But I honestly couldn’t fault my P3’s & in my opinion look way better than these but let’s see how they go.
Nose test, makes me laugh every time I see you do that.
Hahaha, thanks Boof! It's a sophisticated and highly calibrated instrument!
When others try to compare k02 to this then i laugh
Don't put your nose in there..! they vent off bad chemicals
