275/65r20 Mickey T's Baja Boss AT

[Murrk847]

275/65r20 on the stock STX rims. Posting for future buyers to see.

2" RC level. No offset. No rubbing. No trimming.

Sub 60mph lie-o-meter says I am getting 18-19mpg

Highway speeds says I am doing about 17-18mpg. GPS says I am about 2-3mph off my speedo. Assuming mpg is lower due to that.

How is the ride tho?
What pressure you running?
This is exact tire and size I am looking at.
Going from the standard size 275/60/20s Duratacs......which are not an E tire.
Living in Alberta,I hunt,get alot of snowy conditions and run my at tires year round.
So fairly aggressive, snow flake rated are a must.
Past experience with E tires on the F150.....disliked the stiff ride.
If I want the bigger size tho I gotta go E rated tire.

Just did a 1k mile round trip to North Carolina. Have about 1300 miles on them already.

I feel they are a better ride than any E rated tires I've had. Very comfortable but still an E rated tire at the end of the day. I found that 40-42 is the smoothest without killing my mpg. I went up to 50 but started to feel all the bumps and cracks in the road. Went back to 42 and no problems.

Cant speak for snow or ice since haven't hit the season yet. I did drive on the 40 between Knoxville TN and Asheville NC in the rain. Very curvy fast road and did not feel like the tires were losing any traction which I have had issues with previous AT tires in the rain. Did a little offroading and didnt even need 4x4.

Noise is negligible. No radio or fan going yeah you can hear them but I don't even notice them at 70+ with the radio on.

I will note these tires are 67lbs going from a 42lb Hankook stock tires. Transmission took some time to figure them out. Getting going requires a little more RPMs. MPGs went from 22 ish to 18 on the highway. About the same mpg sub-60MPH as stock.

I rate them 9.5/10. Not a 10/10 only because i wish they were lighter. Same size E KO2s are 58 pounds.

Had em for about 3k miles on my last truck. Overpriced street tire larping as an AT in my opinion. sucked in the rain, no traction offroad, noise and comfort was stock though.

I couldn't agree more, Ridge Grapplers are terrible in the rain lol How are thos MT Bajas holding up? I tried them for a few weeks but that MPG hit was rough.

Still going strong. 6k miles on them so far. I feel like the ride and the noise got better as they broke in more. Road ride is smooth. Wet pavement feels like dry pavement and icy pavement feels like wet pavement.

I agree the mpg hit is strong but Ill take it over slightly better mpg and less performance with another AT like the KO2s.
