    Maxxis Bighorn 265-70-17 Tyres

    Hi all
    Ill be up for tyres on the 03 Grande in the next few weeks and these are looking good for the money at $285 each for the 265-70-17.

    Anybody used them or have experience with these regarding noise and wear?

    My second option would be the good old BFG AT in the same size at $330 a piece.

    Can't comment on the bighorn, but I reckon Maxxis in general are a really underrated tyre. Had a set of mt 753 Bravos on another vehicle that just wouldn't say die and they copped a hiding on some pretty rough terrain. I thought they'd never wear out!

      I'm pretty sure BlackPradoChick put a set of these on - maybe flick her (them) a PM.

      They got good reviews from 4WD Action as best mud tyre, if that means anything to you.

        Thanks for that.
        Ive also had good experience with Maxxis in road tyres so it made me curious as they are a good price.
        I was just curious about the long term living with them, like are they really noisy compared some other muddies, do they wear funny, etc etc.
        They are a good looking tyre and locally they go for about $285 which seems pretty cheap.
        Thanks again.

          I have a set on my prado.
          I like them. They are my second set. (had a set on my surf as well)
          I got them down to 260 each I think.
          Me and my cousin did a comparison, and they are quieter than his Goodyear MTRs also.
          I found them a big improvement over the grandtreks also.

            I had set of MAXXIS Bravos; they were good off-road but VERY NOISY on bitumen. Drove me even more insane :shock: . Here is thread on this: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2221&p=29571&hilit=noisy+maxx is#p29571

              Seems like theres a big shortage of tyres at the moment, these are also now out of stock

                has anyone tried a set of 275/70/17 in these tyres and have they had any wearing or rubbing on the body/struts ? cheers
