Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT vs Cooper Discover AT3 XLT

Moving off the OEM wheels and tires to either the Fuel Vector or Tactic wheels and the Baja Boss AT or Cooper AT3 XLT. Putting a 1.75in Rough Country leveling kit on the front, using 275/70/18 tires.

What do y'all think...

Tactic of Vector?
Mickey Thompson or Cooper?

Don't have fender flares so, trying to stay within the wheel wheel..maybe a slight poke. Mostly street, but have a hunting camp in AL so there will be some offroading.

Let me know!

 

In my opinion, the Mickey Boss AT is in a different category from the Cooper AT XLT. While the Cooper does have some decent sidewall, the tread is basically a street tire. The Baja Boss is a much more aggressive tire in every fashion. So, it boils down to if you want a more street friendly tire or an aggressive tire. BTW, the Baja is also a heavier tire. I run Mickey MTs and love them.

 

I had problems with my cooper xlts, sidewall split in one-replaced under warranty but I did have to purchase the cert again, two others would never keep balance and took a huge amount of weights to get close. Truck felt unsettled and squirrely on the highway with them. Ended up returning them after 9000 miles and 5 visits to have them rebalanced. They are off my list going forward, buy many run them and like them. They were 275/70-18, ran them on a stock truck, no fitment issues with stock suspension and wheels.
