Tire A Baja Boss A/T
Pros
- Exceptional off-road and all-weather traction (mud, sand, rock, snow, and rain)
- Surprisingly low road noise for an aggressive, deep-treaded all-terrain tire
- Aggressive, visually striking aesthetic featuring robust side biters and thick sidewalls
Cons
- Shorter than expected tread life for some users, with a few reporting replacement needed around 30,000 to 33,000 miles
- Tires are notably heavy, which can negatively impact fuel economy
- Some users experienced high-speed balancing issues or vibrations around 70 mph
Tire B Open Country R/T Trail
Pros
- Aggressive and attractive styling that enhances vehicle appearance
- Surprisingly low road noise, producing only a gentle hum
- Smooth ride quality and balanced well during installation
Cons
- Higher price point, though generally viewed as getting what you pay for

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
