Who on this forum uses Maxxis Bighorns? How do you find them? and how much did you pay? the sizes im looking at is a 33 or a 35 and anything in between if they make them.

G'day mate, i've had mine for a while now and am stoked with them, lasting pretty well and they are fairly cheap 
.
But they are getting louder as they get older, but no mmore than any other muddie .

I'm running 32" Bighorns and am very happy with them so far, they've done almost as many KM's offroad as on so far and they grip well in everything I've thrown at them although haven't really hit mud much yet.

u guys who are running bighorns.... sorry for the hijack but i eyeballed one mounted on a rim at a tyre shop the other day and thought that the tread footprint looked noticably smaller than an equivalent sized tyre in a different brand..( silverstone from memory)... is this the case?
i was lookin at a 285 75 16...
tyre guy said it was because it was a 6 inch rim and he would be right to an extent but still looked thin on the tread to me... measured it with my hand and i' reckon it was about an inch narrower on the contact part of the tyre...maybe half to three quarter of an inch really...
any thoughts?

what ballpark prices are 285's/33s compared to others?
Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2007 7:19 am
My 32's were $215 fitted and balanced if that helps, if I'd chased around some more I probablycould have gone them a little cheaper but this was local.
I also found the bighorns to b very close to the stated size. A 32" is 31.9" etc.
Here's a pic of the 32x11.5 next to the 31x10.5 Nankang Mudstar that came off. Both are on rims here, the 31" on 15x7 and the 32" on 15x8

Just an update, ive been quoted for the bighorns in a 35 for $315 a tyre, or the trepador in a 35 for the same, the 33 was 280, do you guys reckon these prices are alright?

I dont reckon they look any better than a BFG/MTR ??
The new Kumho MT looks good in the pattern, almost Xterrian style, but sidewall could be dodge.

A 285 75 16 should be mounted on an 8 inch wheel.

wheel and tyre together is'nt a tyre fitters A-hole. When measured on the
correct wheel the Maxxis product is very happy. The style of tread does
make these tyres "look" thin, I do agree.

sounds about right if you ask me shop around could get em a bit cheaper i bought mine when i worked in a tyre shop got em for 250 each so do some bargaining you might be abkle to get a bit better than thattommyk wrote:Just an update, ive been quoted for the bighorns in a 35 for $315 a tyre, or the trepador in a 35 for the same, the 33 was 280, do you guys reckon these prices are alright?
