Maxxis AT-771 265/65/17

Just got 5 of these fitted and noticed an immediate difference compared to the original Dunlops. No more "squawking" and "chirping" when doing low speed turns. There is slightly more road noise when on the smooth bitumen but it is only barely noticeable. Much more aggressive tyre so should handle better in the dirt.

The tyre centre has the pressure pretty high which is making the ride a bit rough and I can no longer rest a beer on the dash. Anyone got any idea what the recommended PSI is for this tyre as I cannot find anything on the web?

Paid $259 each fitted by the company that services my car but could have got it for $241 if I had the time to take the car to another tyre centre.

This Forum has road tyre pressure recommendations everywhere..

I run 38 psi in a 65 series tyre in my Prado and that is heaps for the road.

If you were to go to the tyre and wheels section for the 120 series the first thread has a tyre pressure data base, this has pages of info on what people run with different tyres in different situations.

Had a look at some AT - 771's in 275 65 17 last week whilst pricing some 694's, they looked ok as a replacement for the Grandcraps and were only $250 a corner, unfortunately I can't find any long term reviews on the web.

Anyway I went out to Landcruiser Mountain Park on the weekend to destroy the grandcraps, but the bloody things went everywhere I pointed them and hardly marked them (ok so I had to give up on a few tracks, the place was full of washouts and great fun). The bloke I was with managed to take some decent chunks out of his ST's so maybe these Maxxis tyres are as good as any of the well known brands.

Well I'm just going to have some fun until I desrtoy these grandcraps then decide what to buy.

They were getting Bridgies in brisbane this week for 287 at Jax, might be worth a look. At least you know they are proven!

I think you're right Hutch. An extra $160 now will give me peace for mind for 3 or 4 years with the miles I do.

I had 693's on the old 80 series and they got me to the Cape and back with no worries.
