    Wondering if anyone has the Mickey Thompson baja boss AT tires. And if anyone driving with those tires on snow conditions. I just got a set for my Tacoma. Please and thank you.

    @Gilman Just got done putting these through a pretty severe snow storm. Zero complaints. Aggressive tread design that has a lot of siping. Quiet on the road but hook up like crazy. I tried to get them to spin out in 4wd but it’s not easy. Got over 18” of snow in two days and these had no problems.

    My neighbor runs a trucking company here in Canada and he is running the Baja’s on his F350 this winter, that’s a good sign.

    Have these up here in the PNW.

    In deep snow, they are great. In the dry and wet, they’re great. In compact snow or slush, they’re sketch. For comparison, on the same roads in similar conditions, my F-I-L has full winters on his rig and in compact snow and slush it’s better. However in deep snow, they’re junk.

    Haha yeah !
    On compact wet icy snow most ATs suck, I’ve got Falken At3w on now and on ice it’s no where as good as a winter tire
    Just need to take it easy and go slower

    On frozen pavement like frozen-over highways the Mickey Thompsons will suck ass.

    They will excel in deep powder snow, tho.

    Pick your poison

    Mine did perfectly fine driving over the summit on the frozen snowed packed highway at 830am when it was 14 degrees out.

    Was driving on roads like this and highways for three days. Hooked up very well. Even tried to push them when no cars were around. Zero complaints.
