2026 Tire Rack All Terrain Tire Snow Test P9 of 30

The Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T, a 3PMSF rugged all-terrain, shared ninth place in the snow ranking, the best placing of any rugged design, and its measured snow grip was among the best in the whole comparison. Its ice performance is the caveat. It was rated in Tire Rack's second winter session, whose tires sit lower on the drivers' scale than their measured results would suggest.

Drivers rate the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT very highly, praising it as a standout all-terrain that delivers near mud-terrain-like capability in mud and rocks while remaining well-mannered on-road. Reviews consistently highlight strong traction across wet roads, rain, snow, ice, and mixed off-road terrain, with handling and ride comfort described as better than expected for such an aggressive tread. Treadwear is also frequently noted as excellent, with some users reporting long life and even wear after high mileage.

Have had KO2, Toyo AT3, Yokohama MT tires for comparison.
We drive mostly highway, tow a 6k trailer, weekends are off pavement.
Initial impressions-
Expect fuel economy loss. These are heavy tires for an AT. We had these on a 2” lifted 22’ 4Runner- just awful fuel economy. Now have these on a 26’ Diesel half ton. The new truck also took a hit in fuel economy.
Great on road, incredible off-road, great on gravel, stable towing tire. Best tire I’ve been on yet and will definitely buy them again.

Initial Impressions
A bit louder than similar aggressive AT tires on my other Jeeps such as KO2’s or AT3W’s.

Better in mud than either, also impressive in the rocks. Closest to MT performance in mud and rocks, while still being great on pavement, ice and winter conditions.

Unicorn all terrain tire. Don’t expect it to handle on road like a dedicated road tire, but for how aggressive and capable these are off-road and in every condition I’ve put them through, you have to compromise somewhere. Even then, they’re about as good on handling and comfort as most AT tires I’ve used that did t compare anywhere near the level these do off-road or in adverse onroad situations in harsh weather. I did a 20k mi review on my YouTube channel here: Brutally Honest Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T Review @ 20K Hard Miles

I installed these on a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S 4xe with the Mopar 2" lift. The tires have about 15k miles on them and still look new. I first took them on a 3700-mile road trip from Washington to the Mexican border and back. I drove in every road condition you can imagine. From hard-packed snow and ice, to sand, rocks, and deep mud.
The tires exceeded my expectations in every terrain! I posted multiple videos on my YouTube channel showing how they performed in all conditions and they are the only tire I will put on my Jeep and my Ram 2500 pickup.

I have now had these tires fitting for about 1.5 years. They are in a 35x12.50R17 size, load range D.

Overall, these are perhaps the best AT tires I have ever had. MT has done an amazing job getting these tires to have a smooth, quiet ride on the street, while also providing fantastic traction offroad. I have had them on dirt, rocks, and plenty of snow.

The tires are a bit on the heavier side due to having a more robust, 3 ply sidewall with sizable side biters. When aired down these really do help protect the sidewalls while also giving additional traction.

On the street, their noise level about average for an AT, despite them being more aggressive than most AT tires. This can be attributed to their asymmetric tread design. My Jeep has more wind noise than tire noise. They have full depth sipes which aid in wet traction, and aid them a lot in the snow. While they will not perform as well as a dedicated snow tire, they are 3-peak rated and have gone everywhere in the snow that I have asked them too. They have also had great tread wear. I live in the mountains, and our roads are known for chewing up tires faster than average. These have done well.

Offroad, these tires really shine. They have larger, deeper voids than most ATs. These really are more of a hybrid tire with an AT name. They will not due as well in deep mud as a dedicated mud tire, but they easily out perform AT's like the BFG KO2/KO3 in the mud. Their compound seems to work pretty well in the rocks. They are not as soft as some more purpose built rock tires, but they do well enough for most.

Its worth noting there is three versions of this tire. The P rated tires have much shallower tread, and the side biters are more of just a shallow design element and do not provide much protection/traction. There is the LT rated tires (eg: 35x12.50R17), which are designed for Jeeps/Broncos/etc and have a load range C or D depending on size. These have a softer compound, deeper tread, and deep side biters. Then there is the metric sized LT tires (eg: 315/70R17) which are load range E, and use a harder compound. These are intended for diesel pickups and such. Do not put these on a Jeep, you will hate them.

On our second set of M-T Baja Boss AT's on our 4Runner. The tires are great on the road, lots of grip in virtually on conditions. We have had them in LOTS of rain and flooding and they handle wet weather amazingly. Only had them in snow/ice once, but we had no issues there. We got roughly 45k miles out of our set of XL load range tires and they wore evenly. They only started making some noise in the last 5k-10k miles, but nothing crazy. Comparing them to our Toyo Open Country's we had before, these are a much better tire. Highly recommend.

I only have 250 miles on these but so far I am blown away. Road noise is almost non existent even at 80+ mph and they handle incredibly well in all types of weather. The rain and snow is their bread and butter though. Pot holes and bumps aren’t any more noticeable than my stock Michelin Primacy XC AT tires that came on my 2023 F-150. I would put these in the top 5 AT tires that have ever been released!

Fantastic all terrain tire. Very aggressive looks and tread pattern but still very well mannered on the road. The road handling is much better than you would expect. I would say that these tires are far superior in almost every category to the BF Goodrich K02's that were on my truck previously. For off road capability, these tires are absolute monsters! I will definitely be purchasing these again when I need tires.
