How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Mickey Thompson Baja Legend M/TZ generally receives highly positive reviews for its aggressive styling, surprisingly smooth initial ride quality, and exceptional off-road performance in mud, snow, and rough terrain. While most users praise the minimal road noise for a mud tire, some heavier vehicle owners note accelerated wear and a reduction in handling precision.
Pros
- Aggressive, mean look that enhances vehicle appearance
- Surprisingly smooth and quiet ride for a mud terrain tire
- Exceptional traction in off-road conditions, mud, snow, and steep grades
- Good durability and heavy towing capability on robust trucks
Cons
- Decrease in handling and cornering performance
- Noticeable road noise as the tires accumulate mileage
- Potential quality control issues regarding out-of-round tires at high price points
Worth knowing
- Users driving heavy-duty trucks like the Ford F-250 experienced faster tread wear (reaching over half-life at 18,000 hard miles) due to heavy towing and vehicle weight.
- Lighter vehicles are expected to achieve a significantly higher overall tread life with these tires.
