Thread: What brand 35" tyres should I fit ??

If you want a good all-rounder, the Maxxis Bighorns are a good option. Good price, not too expensive and will do the job. Also the Maxxis Trepadores that a few of the members run are a great all-rounder (had a set, I sold them to Justin because I needed the $$$ and I had plans on using the bullet as a work vehicle but now that plan has gone to **** ).

The usual big-priced brands are great as well but I personally don't like to buy super exxy tyres, I had 2 sets (one the BFG's and another the godyear MT/R's) and both had sidewall punctures and at nearly $400 a tyre I could have bought a cheaper option. Tyre size on a 16 inch rim for a 35 is a 315/75r16.

Trav

As Trav mentioned, a lot of people run the Maxxis stuff. I'm a big fan of the Mickey Thompsons, love my MTZ's. Great all round tyre thats dead quiet on the road and have great grip offroad. They also have a very strong side wall, and good side biters. Sure they cost a bit, but they are worth it I think.

Hey Noz if it was me i would buy maxxis trepadores best all round tyre ive ever used . Creepys are great just ask Grimace but being bias can be a real handfull on the road especially in the wet (think Justin had bit of a moment on his creepys once) and i know Greg has too..
There are plenty out there but but just dont think you can go past maxxis for value and performance.
I know Kelvin was pretty happy with his treps on the weekend..

Anyway this is just my opinion ..

Cheers Darren

How long is a piece of string?????

But ditto to the above, you cant go wrong with either the Trepador or the Bighorn. Up to you depending on the width you want. I have found the Trepadors to be an excelent value for money tyre. for a club car. Sure some other tyres are better etc but alround performance on & off road you cant go wrong with Maxxis

Justin

Another vote hear for the Treps!

Is there a rcommended place to buy Maxxis, do we have a preference as a club ?

Greg and I allways buy our tyres from Brett at austyre "think its " Ashmore good bloke and prices are allways good

If you intend to drive to the venue and just drive, without changing tyres.
Stick to the Radial Ply Types.

I had a chance last year at Coffs to see nearly every brand of tyre preform on wet tracks of all types of soil.
I made a little survey of which brand of tyre had cleen treads at the top of each hill.

The worst preformer was the Goodyear Wrangler, which were mud donuts at the top of every hill.
Maxxis preformed well, but the stand out for mine was the Mickey Thompson Claws, they had cleen blocks at the top of every hill.
