Mickey Thompson Legend EXP

[Booker’s Bronco]

Anyone running these in 35/12.5/17 on stock SAS wheels. If so, are you happy with them?

I put 50,000 miles on a set in that size. Great off road tire. Good road manners, but the noise does pick up once you hit the first set of wear bars, which for me occurred at about 40,000.

Great in the mud and on rocks, did fine on wet pavement but not so great in snow.

I just put 295/70r18s on our Bronco yesterday. From the shop to home, as mentioned, road manners are great. No balancing issues, tires run smooth, and no notable tread hum.

what air pressure did you run with them being a D load range?

They rode and wore very well at 32psi.

Had them down to 12 off road but usually ran them at 20 on trails

I have these in 285/70/R17 and overall I'm very happy with them. I agree with everything that has been said about them in this thread. Surprisingly bad in the snow. We did put MT Baja Boss on my wife's Bronco Sport which are 3PMSF and those are incredible. I would say worth the difference in price easily if you are in a cold/snow climate. I run the EXPs are 32 PSI and they ride pretty nicely but have gotten a bit louder as I have approached 30k (nothing crazy).

I was interested in the Baja Boss as had them on a Jeep and was pleased with them. My concern was that weigh 20 lbs more than the OEM GY MT‘s and 10lbs more the Legend EXP

I put a set on my 2021 Badlands Sasquatch shortly after I picked it up in February 2022. I thought they rode about the same as the OEM Goodyears on the highway and I was impressed with the off-road performance with numerous trips to Colorado, Moab and Merrus Adventure Park. At about 40,000 miles I got a great deal on a set of bronco Raptor 37” BF Goodrich KO2 from a buddy and when I put them on, I was surprised that they rode substantially quieter and smoother than the Mickey Thompsons. After about 10,000 miles with the BFG‘s, being old school, I wanted to go back to the raised white letter, Mickey Thompson’s and when I did, I was very surprised just how loud they were on the highway and had a little bit of a tread vibration at slow speeds. They also seem to pull the bronco a little left and right when driving on paved roads that are worn and have uneven surfaces. The BFG’s were much better on road than the MT’s. I did one trip to Colorado on the BFG‘s and thought they performed comparably to the Mickey Thompson’s off-road, but they are much better on the highway. Before too long I will probably be going to 35” BFG KO2 or KO3 because they are a much better experience on the highway.

People either love or hate BFGs - there isnt a lot of in between
