I had the Maxxis Bravo before the Michelins. It was a really good and sticky tyre. Where the Defender squealed tyres around a corner previously, with the Maxxis i'd get greater body lean with no loss of traction. The Tyre shop guy thought they'd be best value, as they were half the price of the Michelins at the time.

I opted for the Michelins for the extra sidewall ply, and for their extended lifespan. If I was on a budget, I'd be happy with the Maxxis, but the Michelins are actually better economy in the long run, and I save a day of my life, by not having to replace tyres at what would have been the Michelins half life. My Maxxis were still good when I replaced them, but I was heading into the Kimberley and down the Tanami on my own, and didn't have confidence in their puncture resistance when they were down on tread.

I've got BFGs on the D2, only because they came with a set of rims, and I feel that the Maxxis and Michelins are both a lot better.
