I'm in the same boat. Had just about made up my mind to go MTR, however this review of the Maxxis Bighorn from Exploroz is interesting, particularly as they are available in 255/85 whereas MTRs aren't.

The maxxis tyres are getting a good rap in a lot of places, and are a good price. i'd go with that

Nothing but they have had delamination (recall for a certain batch of ST's) and chipping (like lugs tearing off) problems.

Their antichip compounds seem okay.

I would never get ST's again. Lugs just ripped off, fortunately Cooper replaced all 5 for me for $240. New pattern STT's are fine so far.

Just to add more confusion have you considered anything from the Silvertone range? I just fitted 285/65R16 Silverstone M117 Sports and they are heaps better for what I use then for than the BFG muds I ran before.....thicker side wall, more aggresive tread, MUCH MUCH easier to balance making for MUCH better on road handling over the 265/75R16 BFG muds I had before......and......much cheaper. Happy if you want to check them out on my truck before you make any decisions.

Aye, Mick
