Our take

The Baja Legend EXP is tailored for drivers who prioritize off-road capability, with its design focused on tackling rugged terrains. It offers a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty, which is competitive in the all-terrain category, ensuring a reasonable lifespan for those who frequently venture off the beaten path.

In terms of handling, the tire holds its ground with a score of 6.5, aligning with the category average. However, its wet grip score of 4 is a notable shortcoming, falling below the all-terrain average of 5.2. This could be a concern for those who encounter frequent wet conditions. Additionally, the absence of a 3PMSF rating limits its winter capability, unlike some competitors such as the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015.

When compared to competitors like the Toyo Open Country A/T III and Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season, the Baja Legend EXP may not excel in on-road dry grip or wet conditions. However, its off-road prowess makes it a compelling choice for those who prioritize rugged terrain performance over on-road refinement.

If your driving involves a lot of wet or snowy conditions, consider the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 for better all-weather performance. Choose the Baja Legend EXP if off-road adventures are your main focus, and you can compromise on wet grip and winter performance.

Pros

  • Off-road traction is a strong point, designed for challenging terrains where other all-terrain tires might struggle.
  • Handling score of 6.5 matches the category average, providing predictable performance on mixed surfaces.
  • 50,000-mile treadwear warranty is close to the category average, offering reasonable longevity for an all-terrain tire.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance is notably below average, making it less suitable for those who drive frequently in rainy conditions.
  • Wet grip score of 4 is below the category average of 5.2, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
  • No 3PMSF rating, unlike the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015, which limits its capability in severe winter conditions.
  • Lower dry grip score of 6.5 compared to competitors like the Toyo Open Country A/T III, which may offer better on-road performance.
