Personally no, but I have a few friends on them and no one has complained.Anyone have experience with the 40" maxxis razr? Are they a true 40? How do they perform? Amazon has them for $520

I have the 40x13.5r17 baja boss. Non sticky
Multiple leaks on this tire from the cracks.
Called Mickey Thompson. They said even 10 psi is way too low to run these tires even off-road(10psi in snow is bullshit). They also said these cracks are from the cold and low pressure. Draw your own conclusions
Damn, I remember you saying you didn't like them, but forgot about this.
I saw they came out with 42s for 17s and 44s for 20s and thought they'd be badass snow tires.
I feel like mickey thompson has just been shit for a long time now.
My Baja Legend EXP’s are great.
Really wish I had seen the start of this thread before buying my M/T Baja Boss A/T’s.
They are absolutely shit in the snow, unless aired down to 10psi or less. Now I see they can’t handle that. What a shit tire.
Really?
Edit: wait, are these 2 different tires? You bought more than 1 set?![]()

4wp has 42 trep stickies listed at $1600 EACH

Should have patched/plugged it.It's out of control, it's not just off road tires either. Got a pinhole in a sidewall on the girls car and the replacement tire was nearly double what I paid a few years ago.
So who's running 42" radial tires? Most are fairly new except pit bull, irok and mtrk.
Patagonias, nitto, baja boss and apparently gladiator x comp have 42s now and I'm curious what peoples thoughts are?
I kinda don't want 20s, but I think 42s are big enough that it would be OK and the rbp 20" beadlocks are pretty affordable.
Just saw that discount tire has the 42 mtrk listed for $514 ea, not sure if it's a mistake or what as I thought they were almost double that now.

As an authorized Maxxis Dealer I would be more than happy to sell anyone here 42" Treps stickies for $1250 each as long as they have them in stock. Currently my warehouse has 10 in stock! Talk about a large mark up from 4wp!Side note, tires areexpensive

I didn't see any representation from the Mickey Thompson Baja pro XS (non stickie bias ply).
40x13.5x17 on a 17x8 rim.
They measured 39.625 at 12 psi, and measure about 38" ish at 5 psi. I only have one run on them, but wet and not broke in they were hooking up way better than I was expecting!
For myself, I've found that you measure on level ground the radius from the center of the hub straight down to the ground. Take that measurement and multiply it by two to get what your vehicle actually sees for the diameter of the tire. This measurement works for the speedometer and GPS to match on my vehicle. All other methods of measurements were off too much.If you want a true diameter, measure horizontally on the tire.

explain horizontal measurementFor speedo yes, you're right.
But for comparison with other tires, I think horizontal is best.
I'm not sure what your meaning by that, but when I measure a tire height I just take a 2' level, set it on the top of the tire and measure to the floor.If you want a true diameter, measure horizontally on the tire.

sounds easy but i am missing the point

Hold your tape flat with the ground.
There's too many factors with wieght, pressure ect. Imo, measuring horizontally is a better way to compare to other tires.
Glad to read this thread....was also thinking Baja Boss MTs in a 40" for a street driven 4Runner on 1 Tons.....reading this: going back to my original plan of Nitto Trail Grapplers.
Running tons....not sure weight should be a factor for me, lol....but I get your point.
No, as I said...l totally get your point. Stopping heavier tires as well as getting them rolling especially with a 3.4L V6 (even with 5.38s) makes a huge difference. I guess I'm just accepting the fact that it'll be a dog regardless of tire weight.Rotating mass is an enormous factor, especially when it's a tire.
I can't remember his name, but there was a guy with a silver 4 door tacoma on 1 tons who went from fairly bald 40" nittos to new 39" km3's and said it was very noticeable driving on the road.
Then there is also the plyability is a factor for me. Even the C rated toyos I've been around don't really bulge and wrap around obstacles at low pressure unless you have a big heavy rig.
Maybe if you have a big V8, it doesn't matter as much, but for us 4cyl and V6 peasants, it does.![]()
