New tires

[Hellrazor]

I got new Mickey Thompson Baja boss a/t today. 265/70/17 on stock wheel. They ride great on the street went to discount tire for fast and great Service. Two of them to no weights and the other two took 1.5 ounces on each wheel. So they balance great the road force number was 6. They ride smoother than the stock hankooks with maybe 3% louder road noise. My stock tires had 18,000 miles on them I just wanted new tires To match the fox 2.0 lift kit. Tires Measure a true 31 in on truck even though they say 31.89. Stock measured 30 in shy

It seems almost impossible that this tire is only “3%” louder or rides smoother than the Hankooks, which is really more of an all season tire than an AT. The Baja has much more aggressive tread and has to have some compromise when compared to the Hankook. But, thats ok, the Baja is a much better AT tire where it counts.

Good looking tire. I bet it does well in ice/snow.

Very nice! So would this fit on a XLT FX2 ?

Assuming stock suspension/ride height, that size should work nicely. I ran that size in a Goodyear Duratrac for several months without issues til i got my Fox 2.0's installed in the front.

It's amazing how going to a 70 fills in the wheel well. What's the weight penalty? Do you notice a big difference in acceleration degradation?

How do you like your Kawi? I've had my eyes on that bike for some time.

I think these weigh 45lb i don’t notice any performance loss cuz I went from 87 to 93 octane which gives a little more power. average 21.7 so far.
the kawi is bad ass
