Lifted and upgraded tires: Rough Country 1.5 lift + Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 245/65r17 tires

[compass crusher]

Installed the Rough Country 1.5 lifted struts and upgraded the OEM Continental tires to Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 245/65r17 tires (bought off eBay) ... Are both upgrades, added about 3 inches... After driving a bit I'm sure it'll be a little less than that... Offroad tire installer said the setup was perfect for the BS... That just reinforced I made the right choices... Now to get ready for trail season...

Sexy. How you liking the Mickey Thompsons?

Sexy. How you liking the Mickey Thompsons?

I like them... Not allot of noise... Feel foods on road... Haven't driven them in rain or trails yet... But can't wait to

I have this exact tire and size on our 2025 Maverick. When the Falkens on the Sport go, the MTs are going on the Sport. They are fantastic tires. People on here keep saying they are heavy, I disagree. For what they are, they are pretty damn light at 38 lbs per tire (compared to the KO2 at 45 and the AT4W at 42lbs.) They are heavier than the OEM version of the AT3W, but that is a seriously trimmed down version to get to 31 lbs - and it is a 235 sized tire.

For the lug size, tread depth for this small a tire (16/32!) and the aggressive sidebiters, it is incredible that this tire is only 38lbs and performs as well as it does.

FYI: if you guys are using Discount Tire's website to judge tire weights, don't. They are frequently wrong I love DT, but this is a known problem - they have reported the 245/65/17 KO2 as 34lbs for years when it is a whopping 45 lbs as reported by BFG; they misreport these 245/65/17 MTs as 40lbs when they are 38 according to Mickey Thompson and tiresize.com.
