New tyres

[judea05]

Hey guys,

Im buying new tyres, but just tossing up between bfg muddies or maxxis bighorns.

Please leave me your feed back :)

Cheers Jude

hi i would swear by the maxxis i have had the buck shot and the big horn paaterens and have had good milage out of both sets never had a flat and never had any of the lugs pull of as happens from time to time when rock crawling or doing hill climbs etc the buck shot from memory is almost identical in the patteren to the BFG bug a lot cheaper how ever the buck shot does have a better tread on the side wall and it does work well on low tyre preasures.

I have the BFG mud terrains KM2's and i am extreamly happy with them.. Very good on wet blacktop and very quiet for a mud tyre on the road.. Alot quieter than the bighorn i believe as well.. So far i expect to get around the 50,000 or so km's out of them with the way they are wearing atm (and i give them a hard time)

thanks for your feed back guys, does anyone know a good site where you can compare tyre prices???

[big_fletch]

Every area will have different prices, you are better going around all the tyre places in your area and getting prices off them, see what sort of deals they can do for you

Fletcha

Sounds good Growlers, cheers mate. Might have to start saving some more gold coins lol. Gonna need some new tyres not long after arriving in the NT I reckon.

With any tyre your spending good coin on its important to rotate em every 5000k's to 10000max I do mine every 5000k's

[Darwin Bound]

Yeah getting an alignment tomorrow (hopefully...depending on the sparky today again lol) so they can rotate em then. Lazy huh! For some reason the older tyres are on the front??? But maybe that will be better given the load it is pulling all the way from Perth to Darwin haha
