Our verdict on the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T
The Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T scores its single highest mark on sidewall presence (9/10), followed by snow traction at 8/10, and blends to 7.1/10 among the rugged-terrain hybrids. It gives ground where the profile says it should — rolling efficiency at 4/10 and value for the money at 6/10, 5 points under its best axis but outside the blended figure, and the dataset flags it when you want the quietest highway ride. It carries the 3PMSF severe-snow symbol, sits in the premium-tier bracket at #25 of 50 overall and 7th of 11 rugged-terrain hybrids, is catalogued in 12 Tacoma sizes on 16- through 18-inch wheels, and rests on 3 cited sources. Its lead use cases are a snow-capable hybrid tire and a rugged look on a daily driver, one place behind the Yokohama Geolandar X-AT in our ranking.

7 of the ten axes feed the blended number (road comfort, wet grip, snow, trail, durability, tread life, and value); mud, efficiency, and looks are shown for the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T but sit outside it, which is why a mud or looks score can run well above or below the headline.

Tacoma sizes the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T comes in
The catalog behind this dataset records the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T in 12 sizes that fit common Tacoma wheel diameters, spanning 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch wheels. Of those, 11 have a Tacoma fitment page on this site, linked below.
Those 12 entries are the dataset's own availability list for the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T, not a live retailer feed — a model with a thin catalog gets a short list here rather than a padded one. What actually clears on your truck still depends on wheel width, offset, and how much trimming you will accept, so check the size against your generation before you buy.

The Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T carries the 3PMSF severe-snow-service symbol, and our synthesis puts its snow axis at 8/10. That combination is what qualifies it as a year-round tire in states with severe-snow tire rules, though a dedicated winter tire still out-grips any all-season or all-terrain on ice.
