Looks like Mickey Thompson is now offering the Baja Boss X, same as the Baja Boss but in a sticky. Comes in a 37 and 40 or a 17" wheel
Anyone running them yet?
They look like Mickey Thompson's version of a Thornbird IMO.
Probably decent on dry rock an dirt but look like they would pack with mud with those tight tread blocks.![]()
So that's like a 33" and 35" sticky?![]()

They are an awesome tire. We have used hem on a few cars and running them on everything now. The sidewalls are insane and the hook up amazing. They are a hidden gem right now!
How close to $0 did you pay for them?
Damn it... I knew I smelled sponsorship in the air... That doesn’t help us normal folk.
LOL 20% is not sponsorship lol. You don't get a sticker on my rig for that haha
I speak to the quality of the tire. Its amazing and since I did pay for it I bought it over other options ( including turning down a full ride tire sponsorship )
Free tires are worthless if they don't work well.
May I ask what tires you turned down for free?
Not close enough. Nobody get free tires after a certain racer took 50 and didn't race...... We get maybe 20% on a good day but they are an awesome tire.

I know this is getting pretty far off topic, but I am hoping to start building a race rig soon so I am curious. What do you provide for Mickey Thompson in return for the 20% discount they extend to you if that doesn't even get them a sticker on your rig? What series and class do you race in? I would imagine you must have a pretty serious social media presence and/or successful racing program to be getting free tire sponsorship offers even if you do turn them down.
As I said, I am just trying to get started out, so I am trying to figure out what it takes to attract sponsors. I don't expect to have much if any sponsor support since it seems like you need 10K+ followers on social media minimum and good racing exposure.
are you gonna put beadlocks on it?![]()
the Baja Boss X is proving to be really good tire so far. time will tell of course. but the real sticky mickey is the Pro X 😉
