    Winners are grinners!

    Got a phone call on Wed night to say that I have won 5 new Maxxis tyres.
    I currently run a set of Maxxis Bravos 245/75/16 and have only 30K kms on them and have shown very little sign of wear.
    Now just have to decide what to do, Option 1) getting a set of Maxxis's new Bighorns in a 265/75/16 as a second set of dedicated mud / offroad tyres which would mean me having to buy 5 rims to put them.
    Option 2 ) get the Bighorns in the same size as I have and again and keep them as an off road set
    Option 3) Keep my Bravos as my off road set, and get a set of All terrains in the stock size as my everyday set.
    I have a 02 TD5 with 2" lift.
    Opinions Suggestions please:

    depends on what you do most really and what your bravos are.... assuming they are the bravo MT's and I was in your situation Id go a set of AT's and put them on as the daily rubber and keep the exisiting tyres as the play rubber.

    Have to say I am leaning abit more this way, as the Disco mainly lives on the road and does 90% tar unfortunately. The current tyres are Bravo M/T 753, and where I generally go 4wdriving it is mostly hard packed / rocky surfaces which the Bravos work well on.

    My suggestion is give the prize to me.

    Unlikely this suggestion helps you though.
