anyone got feedback on maxxis "big horns" vs others. do about 60% road so just wanted to know if the muddys last. Yes i should use all-terains but i have my eyes set on the big horns, they look sweet
cheers

I have only done about 5k km on my bighorns - so too early to comment. But I have a seet of MTRs (almost identical pattern) - but likely different compound...

The 285/75-16 (33") MTRs have done about 40k km and still have at least 2/3 tread. I am hoping I can get the Bighorns to last that long.

I have a set of 33x12.5 Big Horns on my 60 and i love them, i have done about 20 000km on them so far and they seem to be wearing very well. Most of my driving is on road as well.

remember as GWagensteve said before, all tires are pretty good for first 10-20,000 klms...
Once they loose the square edge thats when you find out how good they really are.. also the main reason comp tires are usually forsale after 2-3 comps, the edge has gawn.

I've had the 32" ones on for about 5K and the front left outer edge has worn quite a lot, to the point that the small sipes have gone but my camber/caster isn't right and there's lots of roundabouts on the routes I drive.
If you dont do much offroad driving the Maxxis Buckshot Mudders would be a better choice. They're quieter, grip way better on wet and dry tarmac and wear a lot better. They dont work so well in clay mud or the rocks tho.

I've had mine for 30 000+ and they a great, the front ones are wearing unevenly but that is because the alignment is out :lol: , the back ones are fine, but they are macking some noise now.

They still work good in the bush, but most of the k's are from road driving, and there on a HEAVY work ute :D .

I will definatly buy them again, best tyres i've owned, had MTR's, BFG's.

I've torn some big chunks in my bighorn lugs as well and I dont drive them aggresively offroad. That being said they grip pretty well in the rocks even when coated with mud.
