When it comes to off-road performance, traction, and sheer rugged reliability, there’s one name that stands at the top for us—Mickey Thompson Tires (@mickeythompsontires). We don’t just recommend them—we run them on our own Jeeps. Here’s why these tires are our number one go-to for everything from rock crawling to daily driving.
Built for Real Off-Roaders
At Powerhouse Jeeps, we live and breathe trail life. Mud, rocks, sand, snow—you name it, we wheel through it. Mickey Thompson tires are designed with hardcore off-roaders in mind. With aggressive tread patterns, tough sidewalls, and advanced rubber compounds, these tires hold up in brutal terrain where others tap out.
Whether it’s the Baja Boss A/T for a balance of road comfort and trail capability, or the Baja Boss M/T for maximum traction in extreme conditions, we’ve put these tires to the test—and they always deliver.
Our Top Picks: Baja Boss Lineup
🛞 Baja Boss A/T – All-Terrain Confidence
The Baja Boss A/T is our go-to recommendation for those who daily drive their Jeeps but still demand solid trail performance. It's a true hybrid tire—quiet on pavement, aggressive in the dirt. You get excellent traction in all weather, impressive longevity, and a rugged look that pairs perfectly with any build.
Key features:
Extreme Sidebiters® for added grip
Silica-reinforced tread compound for wet weather traction
3PMSF-rated for severe snow service
🛞 Baja Boss M/T – Maximum Off-Road Bite
When you're ready to take it up a notch, the Baja Boss M/T is where it’s at. This tire is built for the off-road addict. We’re talking deep lugs, self-cleaning tread, and sidewalls that laugh in the face of jagged rock ledges. It’s made for the trail warrior who doesn’t turn back at mud holes or steep climbs.
Key features:
PowerPly™ 3-ply sidewall construction for toughness
Bold, aggressive tread design for max traction

🛞 Baja Pro X Stickies – Built to Win
For the serious competitors and die-hard crawlers, Baja Pro X are the ultimate weapon. These aren't your weekend warrior tires—they’re built for high-performance crawling and comp-level traction. The ultra-soft compound molds around rock surfaces for unbeatable grip. If you're climbing vertical ledges or wheeling in extreme conditions, this is your tire.
Key features:
Soft “sticky” race compound
Unreal grip on dry rock and slick surfaces
Used by top competitors in off-road racing and crawling
