Maxis Tyres

Post by **Roctoy** » Fri Sep 24, 2004 8:43 am

Tossing up between 37" MTR's or Maxis's new tyre rumoured to be released soon (radial) looks somewhere between an MTR and an IROK. does anyone have any more info on this tyre?
Those running Maxis's now, do they wear well or are they too soft and gummy? Also price comparrison?
Going onto a daily driver aswell so i,ve got to think of these things.

Cheers Chris

Spoke to rolly a while ago when i bought his old MTR's - he said they're soft compound - will prolly wear out on the road fairly quickly. But i havent spoken to him since and he only had just put them on.

Shoot him a PM maybe as he'd know by now.

I run the Mudzillas, but the truck isnt a daily driver! But they are on there perminantly!
They are soft, and probably wear quickly (mine are good at the moment as truck is stationary :lol:

) but I dont really care! The price is good and if they have a new tyre coming out like you have described then they sound great! OH yeah and as antt said talk to Rolly -- Brett at Austyre 07 55970099

Just my 2 bobs worth
Cheers

I've got a set of Creepy Crawlies and they are a pretty soft compund. Awesome off road though. I have never driven them on the road though and dont think I would run them for any distance on the black stuff. havent hear about the new tyre your are talking about though. As Ant said, give Brett (aka Rolly) a call at Aus Tyre on the Goldie and he'll set you straight

yeah, i met Brett out Ormeau last weekend, it was he who told me about the new tyre, just wondering if anyone else had any comments on that brand of tyre.

Yep - running 37 crawlies on the 80 - they run okay on road at 25psi and will probably wear a bit. My set sat in the weather for a year before seeing a rim and are soft but not stupid soft.

Awesome in the bush - and crawl very nicely and clear great (not if you're behind me!! :finger:

).

Loving them. Chasing a set of roller skates for daily driving.... Yes!

as soon as i find out more about the radials coming out i will let you know .
all i know at the moment is that they should be released before xmas and are supposed to be a very strong radial tyre with a good looking pattern .
knowing maxxis they would have done there home work on these so they should be good . as i tell everybody who buys mudzillas or creepys off me they are a bias ply tyre with a soft compound and will be ok on road but dont expect alot of kms out of them .

i will keep you posted on any further developments cheers brett.

there are some pics of a 37 from the sema show

Post by **RV80** » Fri Nov 05, 2004 7:56 pm

that's a horn looking tyre :cool:

Post by **spazbot** » Fri Nov 05, 2004 8:15 pm

the tread on the side looks very deep

Post by **ISUZUROVER** » Fri Nov 05, 2004 8:20 pm

That looks pretty good. Do Maxxis tyres still have big problems with tread profile if mounted on a rim that is a little bit too narrow?

Post by **I.M.P.O.S.E** » Sat Nov 06, 2004 8:59 am

The tyre in the first and third picture looks very sweet!

Was there a picture of the tread of the tyre in the second picture??

Post by **spazbot** » Sat Nov 06, 2004 9:06 am

they are all the same tire

Rattle your bloody teeth out at anything above 20 km/h

Post by **RV80** » Sat Nov 06, 2004 1:02 pm

i'd say that they are a bias ply. crap on the
black top anyway.

Why is the side wall on the second picture not as 'aggressive' ??

There seems to be a lot of side wall on that one between beadlock and tread to that in the other 2!

this is true... the second pic has an alternating lug pattern furtherest down the wall - perhaps this is the radial as it appears less deep than the 1st and 3rd.

Post by **DaveS3** » Sat Nov 06, 2004 7:03 pm

They look different.

Look at the centre hole of the rims - 1st & 3rd have the drive flange through the rim and the 2nd doesnt.

Yeah I had a look at rockcrawler site and there is a picture of the 2nd one. It appears similar in tread blocks but less aggressive so Id agree with that.

Post by **spazbot** » Sat Nov 06, 2004 10:37 pm

ok the 2nd one is a diff tyre but the same model maybe its a radial or on a smaller rim as the 1st and 3rd seem to be on a 17" rim

Post by **RV80** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 4:09 am

still look shit hot. :cool:
