Hey so I’ve been running these tires for a couple weeks now and it does clear the cab mount 90% of the time. I’m running no sway bars, 2.5inch front lift and if your flexed and wheels turned in it will rub if your wheeling with any speed. But most of the time the fender flare and splash shield are what needs trimming if you plan on off-roading. If your only gonna use your truck on the street or even mild off-road I would only remove the front mud flap and just barely trim the flare and your basically Mint !
@@dylanbisson9675 You might double-check the front axle wheel alignment. From the coating of the soil on your front tires, it would appear there's just a wee bit positive camber, when I would think the settings would range from 0* camber to, say, 0.7* negative camber. Otherwise, your setup ROCKS. It is beautiful. I can only run a 33" on my 1.5" lift F150 so I went with the Toyo ATIII in LT255/80-17 (33.1" X 10") but if I ever raise the front ride height (as well as the rear) then I'm going with your tire: the Baja Boss A/T LT255/85-17s. Yeah, baby! YEAH. Not only does your setup look right, I'll bet that when the time comes and you're wheelin' w/ your buddies your tire may just well outperform all the fat 33s, 35s and 37s out there. Safe travels to you. Happy New Year.
I put 255/80R17's on my GX470 and it is amazing. Much more off road capable than a wider tire. They are light and minimally effected my MPG. It's a good move for sure.
I'm currently researching these for my '06 Sequoia. I've had 315/75-16s on 80 series wheels with 1" spacers on it for the past six years and it just sucks so bad. The steering wheel gets yanked all over the place off road, it follows ruts and grooves like a MF'er on the road, gets really rowdy under braking, it won't stay aligned, it chews through front wheel bearings like crazy, and despite trimming, a 4" lift, and the spacers, they still rub at full stuff and at the lock, and the rear tries really hard to do the fender flare delete that the 80 Series are so known for. I threw the stock wheels and tires back on today to see how it felt with the contact patch in the correct location relative to the steering axis and god damn, it drove like it was stock. I fell in love with it again, so I'll be pulling the trigger on these skinnies this week.
Thanks I’m really liking the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires. Very quite on the road for an AT , decent in the snow haven’t tested mud or rocks yet. The Pizza cutters are a good option for the mid size trucks. A lot easier to turn than a normal 35 12 wide tire
I was pretty excited when I discovered the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T. They look great and have a more aggressive tread pattern than most A/Ts without the noise and poor winter traction of an M/T. Sadly they were not available in the size I needed, so I ended up getting the Falken A/T4W's. So far I'm quite happy with them but I'm curious how people are liking these Baja Boss tires.
same. I'm on a 2" OME lift...i went with 265/70/17 because I didn't want to have to do the body mount chop, but feel like they look too small at some angles. I know a 255/80/17 will fit but if I can fit these without much modification I would like to.
I just put on the MTs and had to trim the fender well, but I have no rubbing on the cab mount. It’s good to go and they look and ride awesome. Go for it
@@davidcastellanos2492yes I did. MT AT’s 255/85/r17. About 2.5 of lift, trimming fender wells and cab mount chop were necessary. They’re great. Speedy, but really happy with them. They’re really tall. It’s a big skinny tire and they look awesome!
Looks great. I'm currently running 285/75R17 Toyo AT III (approx 34x11.50) on my Gladiator but strongly considering these for my next tire. Big diameter without the weight. Only thing is that the Toyos are available in a Load Range C which is nice for mid size trucks and I think the Mickeys are Load E.
They’re 35’s, measuring 34.76” diameter. Nine out of ten tires measure approximately 1/2” smaller when tagged 33”, 35” or 37” diameter. Some of the most heavy duty mud terrains buck this trend.
eyeballing the same tire and size for my lunar rock.
Looks like it clear the cab mount at full turn.
Love the looks.

I dont know much about pizza cutters but they look great!

Ran them on my FJ and they were awesome!
Looks great. Was wondering how they’d fit on my 2nd gen

@@rigwhispererdid you end up with the 254/85/17? I have a 2nd Gen with a 2.5 inch lift and body mount chop already

Thanks for the video. I’m thinking about running the same size. I’m currently running those same tires in the stock size and they are great.
The Mickey Thompson actually measures out to 34.6 which is as close to 35 as most advertized 35’s
How are these doing? Any updates on fitment, rubbing?
nice. been thinking of running pizza cutters as my next set. currently have 265/75R17 at the moment
I have 285/70R17 on my 4Runner. No trimming. Just a mudflap delete.
Hows the mpg comparison.
I wonder if those would fit on my first gen 2006 double cab Tundra width 17x8 + 5 m mTRD Wheels

They make load D in certain sizes
Thinking about these on my gen 3 tundra. Saw a guy that is running them on his gen 2 and ❤s them. Just can’t seem to pull the trigger.
Love the look Dylan. What is offset of those wheels?
Are those 17 wheels those look 👍
That looks so fire
Are you liking the tire after a year?
How have they held up?
What size rim 8” or 8.5”
SPC uca's have questionable reliability for some time now. Not sure why people are still getting them.
Hows the gas mileage so far?
Who cares
Update
From what I read that size is actually 33.1 and never heard of any rubbing
So just checked and they are considered 35s! I was wrong. Most of the other brands come in at 33.1
@@MayorMcCheese78 Mickey Thompson lists them at 34.6. Tire size calculator lists them at 34.1.
@@MayorMcCheese78 It's a 85 series not a 80
66 lbs, I wish it was 56
I think you can get 37" C range KO2s 66lbs. per tire. I know its a totally different product and size but just sayin
Those are not 35s they are 34.1
34.6 Gina!
34.1 is what most 35's measure out to under load.
64 lbs.... just sayin...; )
I can’t get past how bad pizza cutters look, even though I know the functionality is good.
It’s subjective - I think they look better
@@testtesttesttesttest884 that’s a lie. They’re hideous
@@Bananahammock88 I think maybe you are misunderstanding the definition of the word subjective?
Some people want a tool to get a job done, others want a fashion accessory. As long as you're happy with what you have, that's all that matters.
@@Prototheria great way to frame it, most American truck owners want the fashion accessory L O L
Isn’t that a 33🫢😂
255/80 is a 33 , 255/85 is a 34
