Need a new set of tires for the 4runner, the BFG ATs are pretty bald, and I don't drive the truck but once or twice a month. I just want something cheap. I narrowed my serach down to Maxxis Buckshot MTs or Bravo ATs. Both can be had for between $400-$450 for a set of 4. I really want to throw MTs on, but I am worried they will wear too quick. And the Maxxis Bravo Ats don't look very agressive(looks more like a road tire). I just figured these tires were cheap because they were so new, Maxxis is porbably trying to get their truck tire business started. But I just wanted to check to make sure they werent garbage tires. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Couldnt find too many Maxxis reveiews, and the few here werent on either of these 2 models. Thanks,

 

Here are pictures of the 2 that I was looking at.





Anyone think it would be unreasonable to get at least 30k miles out of buckshots?

 

i strongly recommend the Maxxis Buckshots. ive been running them on my 4runner for probably a year now. great tire, great performance, great tread wear, great price. highly recommended. hit me up if you have any more questions.

 

I am running the Maxxis Bighorns and so far they are awesome. They wheel great and are actually pretty quiet on the road too.

 

Nice, for the price they seem awesome, how is the treadwear so far. probably 80% of the time they will be street driven, which I was I was thinking the AT over the buckshot. But if the treadwear isnt going to be a big factor(if I could get 30k out of them) I would rather have the buck shots. Thanks for the info.

 

I rode a set of Buckshot mudders for a few years. The tread wear was fine for a mudder. I kept them for about 20k, and they were still around 50%. They are soft, so should be rotated often. I personally do not like the loud hum of certain mudders on pavement, and the Buckshots were a little to loud for me. They did handle well on and offroad. I would recommend them if you do not mind the noise.

 

I used to have Buckshots on my CUCV, rode like ____ and wore even worse. Definatly a soft tire for any street use INO.

 

My brother's jeep had them. The price suckered him into buying them and he hated them after the first 10k miles. They wore quickly and in wet weather they went south fast. Noise, they were like a small airplane following you down the road and he rotated them at every oil change. He did drive mostly on the road, but offroad they beat my BFG AT KOs every time, but I would expect that.
Replaced with:
He went with BFG MT and I went to with TuXus MT. The BFGs lasted longer but are more $$ the TruXus are soft but street friendly and very good traction offroad. As you know any MT must be rotated regularly.

I would save and get the good tires that will make driving and offroading a pleasure and safer.

 

Wow, thanks for the reviews, much appreciated.
