Maxxis is known for making some of the best mountain biking tires, but has any tried their light truck tires? They have a couple of good-looking treads...

Bighorn Radial, available in a good selection of sizes

Creepy Crawler, only big sizes - 35s and up

Trapador - 35s and up

 

My dad has a set of maxxis tires on his Dodge Ram. They are an AT but I don't remember the exact model. traction seems to be below average in snow and mud. That said they are wearing very well. The torque from the diesel shreded his last set of tires. on a side note all the gas field truck here run the maxxis mudders not sure if that is because they are good tires or they get them cheap.

I know there are a few of you running Maxxis tires (I believe the bighorn radials) - how about an update? How have they held up? mud traction? rocks? snow/wet traction?

 

hey a company that belives in snipeing the big blocks of MT tires! look good to me

thats on the bighorns. i personally like the buckshots.

 

I've heard nothing but great things about Maxxis tires, especially the Creepy Crawler.

I'm considering them and Pitbull Rockers tires as my next set of 37s.

I'm not sure what sizes you are considering...but Pitbull Tires is a new company making some good off road tires. Much like the new Maxxis line of rock crawling tires, Pitbull has some similiar tires out. Those who are running them seem to really like them so far...
Here's a good link to some pics and owners review:

Im debating between the Rockers and the Creepy Crawlers for my next set..just to try something different..

 

just a measley 33/12.5

 

what about the truxus MTs?

 

they are on the list for consideration

 

i personally run the Maxxis Buckshots in a 33x12.5. they perform well, clean out well. big lugs and treads. the buckshots are nothing like the aggressive treads tho. they run for about 100 bucks a pop. great deal. i walked away with the set of 4 for a little over 400 bucks. just something to consider if you want to go with a lower budget.

 

i got the buckshots. awesome tire. cant beat the price. quiet on the road, beastly in the mud. get em!

 

i wish they still made the real buckshots, not the sissy version they make now...

 

my bro had a set on his F-250 an luved um an he lived in MT on gravel roads an neve got a flat (that says something)

 

I've got Maxxis Buckshots 31x10.50's on my Toyota and they are good tires. Everyone here in Louisiana got em and they work pretty well on a Toyota, not a Swamper but a good all around tire.

 

Kyle - they DO still make the real buckshots. I bought a set of the bias ply buckshot mudders, they are awesome. The tread is unbelievably deep. Road manners are not great, but not terrible. They do make a lot of noise.

 

I got the buckshots off of ebay at a great deal, size 33", from a company out of Arkansas with free shipping. I got them right before I headed for Colorado for the summer. They handled very well in the mud for me and across the rock. I've heard they can wear real uneven real fast if you don't stay on top of things; keeping them rotated and aired on the highways.

 

I'm going to be trying them. I'll get some pictures up when they get here. Got them for less than 500 shipped off ebay.

 

I've got them on mine. 33x12.5 off of ebay. Free shipping too. Couldn't beat it. They are quieter than my old 32" Goodyear MTR's!

 

I'll be watching this thread closely because I'm considering a set of Bighorns. They look like awesome tires and the price is right too!
