Thread: Maxxi Bighorns - price in 4wd action??

I would suggest that 305/70/16 may be an odd size and that may be why there is a price difference?
Does anyone know off hand if this is a standard or normal choice of tyre size?
At $300 they are only just worth it, last time I checked they were $250, but that was over a year ago and I had already fitted Hankooks as there was no dealer in Esperance when I needed some (Dealer only set up 12 months after I bought the Hankooks and I enquired about the price when fitting Maxxis to the Staesman and trailer. At over $400, forget it.

Maxxis tyres are overpriced for the most part, you ned to shop around. I remeber when they were a bit of an unknown and they used to be a hell of a lot cheaper but now are a well know brand and like most things the price goes up.

I know of several people who can get them for a good price, 33's for less than $300 even in a 16 (285/75R16). I priced a set of 255/85's a while back for $310 a tyre, at the time it seemed like a good price compared to the KM2 BF which was more up the $370 mark. To me that repesents good value.

As I said in my opening, I get looked after pretty well. I get mine for a bit under $250 so for me they are excellent value for money.

Two friends of mine just got maxxis and one paid $215 each and another paid $230 but they were actually bighorns 275/75/16's

I bought 235/85/16 Bighorns ($235 each or 4 for $935) at Tyres for Less - Villawood Road, Fairfield (Western Sydney).

I thought that was okay. They fitted and balanced 6 in about 20 minutes, loaded them in the back of my car and were good blokes - it was a pretty hot day and they hooked in and got the job done quickly.
