Mickey Thompson Baja Boss Studio Overview
We've got the new Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tyres in the studio. We saw them during our 2019 SEMA trip in 2019 and have been looking forward to reviewing these bad boys. The Baja Boss tyres are aimed at the Mud terrain market, so let's see what Mickey Thompson has created and how they look in our studio overview. Give us a thumb up and a follow if you like our content and want to see more of these videos in the future. Full Transcript: - Gudday. Today in the warehouse, we've got the brand new Mickey Thompson Baja Boss. So this is the new Mickey Thompson Baja Boss, which was released in 2019. I saw it at the SEMA last year, and it was pretty taken aback by it, but we've now got a set in the warehouse to do a studio review, which is what we're doing right now. This is the newest, most aggressive mud terrain that you can drive on the road, but as soon as you get off the road, this thing is going to come into its own. Let's take a closer look at what the actual tyre has. So on the sidewall, so all of the Baja Bosses come into, have a 3 ply sidewall, which means that they're going to be a lot stronger for off-road, but they're also going to be a lot stiffer on the road as well. They also have this series of four side-biters, and apparently these side-biters are actually 50% more aggressive than any other side-biter in the Mickey Thompson range. So basically, these are going to help you climb out of those tracks a lot easier, if you're stuck in the ruts or whatever, and you can sort of see how they're in these syncs of four blocks. Now they're going to really help you bite in. They've also got the Mickey Thompson PowerPly XD, which is basically where the third ply has 50% more cords, and in turn, basically ply is made up of, normally they're cords that run like that, but this one has a third ply that actually runs on a diagonal, and it actually has more cords than the rest of the plys. That's going to make it much, much stronger. Let's look at the actual tread pattern itself. These tyres actually have an asymmetrical tread pattern which means they're different on both sides. You can sort of see how they're groups of blocks that repeat, and so that means that-- This set of blocks through here is going to lead to less road noise on the road, hopefully, but then you've still got the huge gaps in the side-biters over here. Basically, the combination of these blocks means that it's going to be less noisy but more aggressive which is pretty cool. Notice here in the voids, you've actually got the stone ejector ribs, as well as through here. That's going to help eject any of that rubbish that you might end up getting stuck into the tyres if you're off-road. And also, these tyres themselves, are actually... You can actually buy them in between six and 12 plys, depending on the size that you choose on the tread face. So that means that there's six to 12 different layers of different materials, so it could be seal, it could be fabric, whatever. In between the inside of a tyre and the outside of a tyre. T hat can also have a significant contribution to the durability of the tyre, and also the comfort factor of the tyre. On the sidewall, it's actually a three ply tyre. These are also a load range F, so that means that they're going to be excellent for carrying heavy loads, but they're also, again, that's also going to contribute to the fact that they're not as comfortable on the road, and another interesting thing is that these are actually made in the U.S.A. You know that they've come from a place that has an excellent manufacturing history. So these tyres have so much tread on them that my tread gauge doesn't actually read it. So I had to look it up on the Internet, it's apparently, they come between 16.7 mils tread and 17.7 mil of tread, which is pretty much like a 1,000 times more than what you get on a regular road car, so. You're going to have a heck of a lot of tread for quite a long time, until these things tear themselves apart. So these tyres in Australia come in 17 to 22 inch rim sizes, in the U.S. they actually release them at a 24 inch rim size, which is particularly bigger and more aggressive and ridiculous. They also only come in sizes between 35 inches and 40 inches tall. You are not going to be sticking this onto your Ranger or your Hilux, or your Landcruiser, or whatever, without some serious modifications. These are tyres that are meant for use off-road on specific vehicles that have been modified for that purpose. If you can fit it onto a stock car, send me a picture, I'd love to see it. We are actually putting these tyres onto our brand new test project, which is a super secret thing at the moment, but keep an eye on our channels and we'll be letting you know what we've actually made in the near future, so don't forget to subscribe too, and actually get notifications about the special project.
Tyre Comparison - Dunlop Sport Maxx 060 Vs 060 Plus
Today in the studio, Jared puts two of the latest tyres from Dunlop up against each other. The Sport Maxx 060 range is available as OE (Original Equipment) on a range of different vehicles but you might want to consider swapping them out for the more advanced 060 Plus version. Better handling in both dry and wet with all new silica compounds makes the Sport Maxx 060 Plus a worthy investment, give you like to push it a little harder!

Toyo Open Country R/T Studio Review
We take a look at the new Toyo Open Country R/T tyre in the Tyre Review studio. The Toyo Open Country R/T (or Rough/Rugged Terrain) tyre was designed to sit between all-terrain and mud-terrain tyres. Join us for a closer look into this tyre and find out what this tyre has on offer. Full Transcript: Hey, and welcome to Tyre Review. Today, we're looking at a tyre that I'm actually really excited about. It's this tyre, as we film this video, isn't even on sale yet in Australia. This type of tyre has taken America by storm and this is one of the first ones down here, but it's the Toyo Open Country R/T. The R/T stands for rugged terrain, which means it's actually in between all-terrain and mud-terrain. They call it this because it's actually got both tread patterns on it. We've got the open spaced mud-terrain tread blocks on the outside here, where you've got heaps of space for it to bite into the dirt and to shed mud out and that sort of thing, and then we've got the more closely spaced all-terrain tread blocks here. These are going to be tight and gripped together on the road, which means it's not going to be as noisy as your traditional mud-terrain, but these wider spaced blocks on the outside here mean that they're going to be much better off the road. The other thing about these tyres is they've got two different sidewalls. They've got a smoother finish and they've also got a ribbed finish on the other side as well, so when you're getting the tyres mounted, you can actually choose whether you want to have a more aggressive-looking sidewall or a less aggressive-looking sidewall. These tyres will actually be going on our Tyre Review Land Cruiser, which is a fairly heavy sort of vehicle, and the driver is a fairly aggressive driver. He's going to be doing a trip, which is going to take him over about 10,000 kilometres worth of gravel roads and trails and that sort of thing. So, we're really interested to see how these tyres hold up. They're loving them in the States, so let's see how they put up with Australian territory. We've now done a long term review of the Toyo Open Country R/T tyres, which you can see here https://youtu.be/_eAGp9hidkA
BFGoodrich KO3 Snow Test: All-Terrain Grip Put to the Limit
In this tyre test, we take the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 into the snow to see how it performs in real winter conditions. As one of the most talked-about all-terrain tyres, the KO3 promises improved grip, durability, and confidence across a wide range of surfaces — but how does it handle snow, slush, and cold-weather driving? We put the KO3 through a real-world snow test to assess traction, braking confidence, steering feel, cornering grip, and overall control when conditions get slippery. If you drive a 4x4, ute, SUV, or off-road vehicle and want to know whether the BFGoodrich KO3 can handle winter roads and snowy trails, this test is for you. In this video, we look at: Snow traction and acceleration Braking performance in winter conditions Steering response and control Cornering grip on slippery surfaces Real-world all-terrain tyre behaviour How the KO3 compares to what drivers expect from a winter-capable A/T tyre Whether you’re planning a snow trip, driving alpine roads, or looking for an all-terrain tyre that can cope with changing conditions, this BFGoodrich KO3 snow review gives you a clear look at its cold-weather performance.
