Ok they works very well and i have used many other tyres and am totally suprised at how well they actuall do work on rock BUT the side walls are weaker then a grannys bladder and the dont seem to hold on side angles aswell as my BFGs or Creepys did

IMHO they worked better than the bfg (much better) and even better than my 37" creepys :shock:

id get a set if they came out in 38s :D with abit stronger sidewall :D

Maxxis Mudder Buckshot

Post by whiteknight »

Happy,

I think you will find that the Maxxis Mudder Buckshot is virtually the same tyre as the Mudstar and some places sell one cheper than the other.

I have a set of Mudstars and my mate has a set of Buckshots and neither of us have any complaints, although as mentioned the sidewalls aren't the best but hey i would rather wreck a sub $200 tyre than a $400 tyre...

Just my 2c worth :?

Have run the buckshots in 35's on a hundred series , will never buy them again . there all over the road due to soft side walls . Ran BFG in the same size ad car drove straight . Ware was to quick , and not the best in mud

hope this helps

when i say soft in side walls , i mean yo ucan keep the car straight at 100 kms

are you sure they were buckshots in 35s cause ive asked every tyre ive been to and emailed maxxis themselves and they all say they dont make them in that size yet maxxis themselves emailed me and said that they had not made a mould for a 35 buckshot but possibly would in the future if demand was there

i run a set of 315x75x16 on my shorty, and for their price I think they are great, but they are only a mud tyre. Can have two sets of these for the price of one set of Claws or ET's
