Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 275/70/18

[Fiveoh]

I just ran across a YouTube review of these tires on a Trailboss. I was surprised how good they looked for being a 33 inch tire. Is anyone using these? I have to admit, it has me reconsidering the 34 and 35 inch tires I’ve been researching. They seem to be big enough to look like they belong, and it cuts down on a lot of issues being this size.

You have great timing. I’m getting these installed tomorrow morning! Exact tire and size. I will post some pictures after.

They are a beautiful aggressive looking tire. I can’t wait to see how they come out.

 

[Fiveoh]

Please do sir.

had them on my old RAM that I traded for the Trail Boss, and they were awesome. It is the only tire I would consider after these stock ones wear. Definitely want to see them too.

Man that looks great. And that’s the 275/70?

Yes sir. 275/70/18. It’s a win-win. No trimming or rubbing and they take up the wheel well so much better. It’s hard to believe just one size up makes that big of a difference.

 

[Fiveoh]

Yes sir. That’s a pretty big difference. It fills out the wheel wells nicely.

275/70/18 is a large 33 - it's 33.14". Keep in mind that the standard "33" is actually 32.8", the standard "34" is 33.9" and the standard "35" is 34.4". So the 275/70/18 sits in between a "33" and a "34". It really is the perfect tire size for the Trail Boss because it will work on stock wheels with no interference issues, and it's close enough to the stock "32" (which is actually 32.1") that you can get away without having to re-calibrate (obviously you have to understand that your speedo, odo, and MPGs will be wrong) if you have a refresh truck.

I recommend this size to ANYONE replacing their stock tires - even if they don't want to upsize. It's like upsizing without the work of upsizing.

That looks so good! Similar color to my truck so now I have a pretty good idea how mine will look.

I really like the way those look. I have been looking at tires that I do not have to change anything on the truck. I live in Florida, so not much need for snow etc, but how are they on the road, in the rain etc?

 

[Fiveoh]

Excellent explanation. Thank you.

From what I have seen in the reviews they are very good in the rain. I don’t have much rain scheduled in the near future up here in Maine but i will update you!
