Factory Siping wasn't very deep. I'd have these siped if you plan to drive on snow/ice a lot. It's hard for me to comment on those handling conditions because to me - ice is ice - slippery.

I've had them since the first week they came out, or something like that. I love them great on the road, not to shabby in the mud and rocks as well. I've put about 25k on them and they are wearing pretty good for my out of alignment front end.

ok... Cant believe I didnt find this page earlier. Dont got a yota but o well.
Ive put 40k on my 315/75r16 bighorns.
Got 2 bald back tires. Lack of rotation, 4 blown rear ends, excessive street driving, and just too much gas going around turns is the cause. Other than that the two front are in great shape.
Gonna buy another set in a week or two. even the spare gettin one

IMO - all mud terrains (unless siped) pretty much suck in normal winter onroad driving conditions.
side note - I have gotten 40k out of my BH tires ans still have tread left.

Looking for a tire that is better than an all terrain off road and is still safe in winter. The General Grabber AT2 is in the lead thus far, but the BH is also a front runner. The Firestone Destination MT is also up there, but I would probably have it siped.

Cooper Discoverer ST. I have had these on for 1 year now and have seen quite a bit of snow here in Idaho. Only slightly less traction than the Discoverer ATRs I had on previously. Plus they wear like iron. Follow the link in my sig and you can see my comments.

Well almost 3 years ago (and about 40k miles ago) I started this thread - and yesterday I ordered another set of these Maxxxis Bighorns. I was planning on trying another brand of tire, but after pricing tires I can't believe how expensive Toyo's, Coopers, Mickey Thompsons etc. are right now! I found a good deal on ebay for 4 new Maxxis for about $175 a tire. So if all goes well I should have this set till I roll 200k on the odometer!!!

Got my new set of Maxxis in - here's a pic of the new tires vs. the ones still on the truck with 40k miles on them - still have about 1/8" of tread left...

After reading this thread, plus several others, I believe I've made up my mind to run a set of the 255 86 16 Maxxis Bighorns on my Taco. I've run BFG's, TrxUs, and currently Toyo MT on the 80, so I have a pretty good idea what I'm getting into, and reviews seem pretty solid on these, particularly from the Taco/Runner croud.
and I found them for $146.19 each at onlinetires.com, I've printed that out and will see if Discount can come close to that..

Looks like you'll get a bit of a lift when you put the new ones on.
I had a set of Buckshot mudders and they were awesome. Kinda loud on the highway, but I didn't mind. This was a few years ago but I got a set of 4 35's shipped to me for less than $600. I'm seriously considering buying another set if I can't find any decent used ones soon.

Had these for about a week now and am very happy. They are reasonably quiet, louder than an AT but not bad by any means. They seem to handle the streets well, haven't wheeled them yet but hope to do that next saturday. I still need to cut my inner fenders and mash down the pinch welds as I do get a little rubbing but it's very subtle. I know it will be worse wheeling though... but I definitely like the looks/stance of the 255's, and am still pretty psyched every time I walk up to my truck.
