I have a set of Bighorns in 31's On my BJ42.
On the Road they handle like the AT's I had, Not much vibration at all. But I have only had them on for about 300k's.
Offroad they go well, Had them in a bit of mud and general Tracks, Few hills etc And is positive.

I say buy them, But I haven't driven on BFG's.

thank for that M8 i got a price for a set of them today it beat the BFG by about $400 so i might have to go down there and see them

PS i have the old style BFG and there not that bad but i think ill try a new type/brand tyre and see how i go with them

I've had my bighorns (33"S) on for about 20k now and i think they are number 1, great in the wet, awesome on road and off road, best in the mud n hard bits....go get em but shop around a bit for the best price, i paid $305 a corner for mine including new dynamic rims

Bighorn Maxiss

Have a set of 32" on the Runner, if you can live with some road noise then you will love them, great for mud work, just watch them on the grass they tend to eat it....
all in all a great tyre, will last forever and good in the bush and on the road...

mine are fantastic (33s), Have had them on there for 12 months now and done about 20 thou kays or so. been offroad heaps with them and up the beach. great in the sand for a muddy and great offroad. they dont tear or throw chunks like some tyres. i run my pressures at 28 at the rear and 32 at the front and im getting about 10litres per hundred. anyways as for the tyres they are great i have no complaints. if you get them run the right pressure on the road and rotate regularly and they will last for ages!! i might add the sipping (sp) is still there in some places after 12 months, which is pretty good and yeh they are great in the wet and dry, and are a great price i got mine for 285 a corner with a set of king 15 x 8 steelies!!

Had 33s on my MU and they were awesome. Now ive got 35s on my 80 series. They are great and i have never even had a puncture on or off road. If your doing rocky stuff make sure you deflate them or you will lose the edge of them very quickly

I've got 33x12.5x15 buckshots, just taken them off the hj 45 that I'm selling - they're going on a bj 42 that I'm picking up tomorrow. Thumbs up on their performance, get plenty of traction off road while maintaining decent road manners. Can't comment on recent prices though, I got mine ages ago.

yep.33x12.5x15 Buckshots they have been on about 4 years now. Very happy on and off road they do have a bit more movement in the tread than a road tread of course but are very quiet for a mud tire on bitumen. Wearing is outstanding compared to last set of yokahamas and better all round. Definitely would buy again.
