If you are on a budget like i was but still want something that will get you thru the mud and dont mind a bit of hum these are tyres worth considering.

I have done 65,000 km on these bighorns m/t still about 30% tread left, my usage has been 70% bitumen and 30 % offroad ( beach, mud, rock 4x4 ), I drive pretty fast too I'm a bit of a young hoon, they have copped a beating, i would only get 15,000km out of the stock bridgestones A/T's my car came with.. A great tyre never had any punctures they wear pretty well if u rotate them about every 10,000km, and keep them pumped up harder on the bitumen ( 40psi) , made it up some pretty steep muddy hills towing trailer with mx bikes, mates with other big brand tyre had no chance. The Big horns seem to self clean themselves in the mud the tread doesn't get chocked up.

I have just purchased a second set of tyres after getting 95000km (4 tyres no spare) out of the first set with no punctures, lost tread blocks, sidewall cuts or bead breaks. Standard size 235/85R16 10 ply at 45/70psi @ 110 hwy front/rear and 35/45 psi @ 80 dirt/gravel. Travelled often at GVM. Used extensively on sand at 12psi and gravel and bush tracks. Can dig in quickly in sand depending on driving style. Many highway kilometers to Sydney too. I avoid mud where possible but I have never been stuck when i have been in mud. They do wear unevenly across the tread so have had to rotate to avoid excessive vibration. Happy repeat customer although the price has gone up.

Have tried a few brands of mud tyres on the old Lux in 265/75R16 and recently got some 17" rims so decided on the 275/70R17 Maxxis MT762 8ply and straight away found the ride comfort no where near as harsh as the 16" 10plys. You can feel the lugs twist as you apply power down and have increased my pressures to suit my driving style. No noisier than any other mud I've had from Mickey's to Generals. Best wet grip was General Grabber MT. Best steering response is Mickey MTZ's followed by Maxxis MT762.Never had dramas in sand just air down to suit.Will see how they go km wise.Just nice to have some ride comfort instead of the bone jarring ride

Are the tyres durable? = they are not as durable as other tyres of the same price, they need that little bit more on the side to make them come up to scratch with other muddies and stop the chaffing of the side wall, but money for value they are very goodHow do the tyres impact the performance of your car? = these tyres lack performance in certain conditions that other tyres I have had did not lack --- just like all muddies they are dangerous on wet roads so slow down and don't blame the tyres when you slide of the road especially at roundabouts and yes they are NOISY deal with it

255/65R17 had these as off-road tires on a second set of rims for my 2006 Grand Cherokee. Excellent value for money, fantastic grip and very hard wearing on all surfaces. Got a couple of plugs in them now from some rough rocks and got them down to 12psi on the sand dunes before one started to leak with sand ion the bead but was going pretty hard and climbing with corners so impressed all the same with the performance. Noisy on the blacktop but that's to be expected when you look at the tread. I reckon probably put 20kms on them and minimal wear so far, maybe 2mm.? All round i would recommend definitely value to money for what you get no question.

Best value for money Mud Terrain tyres on the market today as far as I'm concerned, I own a Nissan Patrol GU that had the wobbles with other brands, went to the Big Horn's (size LT255/85x16) and got rid of the wobbles significantly!, would recommend these tyres to any Nissan Patrol GU driver that gets that annoying wheel vibration at certain speeds, good looking, great off-road tyres as well! on my 3rd set and still very pleased with them.

For bang for buck I recon they are the best. have been to Frazer Island on the beach in hot dry conditions deep soft sand no problem. I had Patrol loaded so much that the rear was riding on the bump stops. I have found them to be at least 40% better than the Bridgestone rubbish the patrol comes with in the rain. go figure.. a mud tyre that's excellent in the rain. wear is ok, I am getting about 50K out of them mainly on road. they are quiet for muddies but when they wear down they get noisier. grip off road is awesome.

I've had my Maxxis Bighorn 762s for 4 years now and I'll be buying them again. Yes they are noisey on road, but mine have gotten quiter as they've worn, and they are much quiter at 32psi then they are at say 40psi, they also grip better at lower psi, I used to think they were a bit slippery on wet road (all mud tyre are) but reducing the pressure helped a lot.Mine have 40,000km of off-road, dirt and Freeway kms and they have worn nice and evenly. No balance issues for me but my old truck isn't exactly a Rolls Royce, I think all the wheel weights fell off the first time I went off-road but it's no different at 110kph as it is with freshly balanced road tyres.I have busted one sidewall on a sharp rock but 2 other guys with Mickey Thompsons busted there's on the same spot and mine held air till the next day, where thiers went down straight away.Great off-road grip in all conditions!

Had 33" Big Horns fitted to my Hilux. They were great for the first 10,00km or so then I had vibration issues. Had all the fixes done, wheel alignments, balances, rotations, tail shaft balance, centre bearing chnage etc. Finally I managed a look at the tyres on the balance machine, they were flat spotted in a couple of locations. Finally after spending a fortune on the fixes my tyre retailer managed to get a partial refund.

Great tyre especially for the price you pay! Great in mud cos they just dig and dig until they find the grip! Not built for sand but once pressures are at 25 or below I traveled Fraser for a week didn't get stuck once. Great in snow, they are harder compound so need to drive appropriately on road in icy conditions, but tell me a tyre that is great in ice....? I got 85k from my last set and they are still going on a trailer, in 33s with at least 90% on road driving. Now onto second set that have 20k on them still looking brand new. If you take the time and adjust the pressures and rotate every 10k they will easily outlast any BFGs or Coopers.... and cost 2/3 the price! Winning!

Had these tyres on my patrol for a few years now and they still going well, been across the Simpson desert and never let me down, side walls are tough and bag out when let down. Good grip in the wet compared to other tyres i've tried. Little noisy on the highway but you gotta expect this from a mud tyre.Using 315/75/16 and they do grip well off road and are pretty good on the beach as long as you let em down to 20 or less.

I have a 1998 Pathfinder and I have done over 200,000 is all terrain and my car has never had any handling problems. Since I Have fitted the big horn tyres, my car has become lethal in wet conditions, when driven on road. I have had one accident, where the car simply ran off the road as I cornered on a wet road - the front wheels completely lost traction in the wet. I have had another near miss, again when driving on wet roads, the front wheels aqua-planed and again all steering control was lost. I am very disappointed and consider the tyres at best a complete wast of money and at worst, a death trap waiting to happen.

I have Big Horns MT 762 on and did from Cape Town (South Africa) up to Zambia in to Angola and back 10 000km. Sand, Mud and rock the real african war roads you can get. I did 25 000km on the tyres on the monent. I run them O.3bar when the sand or mud gets very bad. That is very flat and not good for sidewalls. I did a lot of desert, sand and very bad rocky ereas as well. Not one flat tyre yet. I also had a lot of very good tyres in the past but I must say my next tyres will be Maxxis. I measured the tyres and with a heavy vechile it only worn 5mm. Exellent!!

Fantastic tyre and performed as well as, if not better than, we hoped when we put them on. Got them specifically for our Cape York trip from Perth. Did the Gibb River Rd, Bloomfield Track (twice), Old Telegraph Track, Creb Track and Great Central Rd without a puncture and only a few small chips, most of that towing a camper trailer. Handled gravel well, great in the mud, and took us anywhere we wanted with no dramas. Used to run Coopers AT, but never again. The camper had them on and that had a high impact puncture while the Bighorns were fine. Now have the utmost confidence in them and will definitely get another set in future, including the camper!

Keep tyre pressure to suit conditions. So important for tread life. Don't listen to all the big brand hype. It's all marketing. I've been travelling for the last 10 years, and have used a couple of big name tyres like cooper stt, bf mt, and these maxxis outperformed. I choose m/t over a/t for the peace of mind to get out of trouble when it rains in the outback. A/t will simply leave you stranded. Not to good having misus and kids in the back. Just for the record, Hancook m/t,would be our second preference. Used them previusly, and there fantastic as well.
