Thread: wranglers anyone else had this problem

I've had the same problem with a store not doing the nuts up correctly, fronts were finger tight.

Sounds like they might be a little far gone - I'd be getting the BF muds, only because they aren't too much dearer than the Bighorns. If they were say $325, I'd be going for the bighorns hands down.

Just fitted 265/75/16 Maxxis Bighorns to my Disco Matt, so far they feel OK, i'm not used to big tyres, so the 265s seem a bit floaty, but i guess like anything i'll get used too them.

I'm still adjusting the pressure to get the right feel and handling, should take me about a week.

Good value for the money i reckon

I'd rather run on the rims, than run Coopers

I'm not convince on the coop's for some reason (maybe because the guy at coopers was a right prat...giving me a lecture on why i need muddies in the first place and then trying to sway me to the bloody St's )

if you dont mine me asking.... what did yours set you back ?

the maxxis are very good val @ $250ea so I'm really swaying to wards them at the mo

PS there goes my next lot of dough for "Oliva" for a while

PPS....pm me your address again mate Ive got a few glasses for your bar....

cheers mate

I have a set of Maxxi bighorns on the disco... well only when I go out to play really( have 2 sets of rims).Had no probs but they can be a bit noisey on the shiny bitumen (make a nice wah wah wah sound).On dirt they're brilliant. I got a very specialprice from a mate but I think if you shop hard you might get very close to the $220 mark. Great value at sub $250 I reckon

Yep... I've had the same on at least three separate incidents. I'm not happy with the build quality of Wranglers. IMO they're pooo.

No prob we got ours for $239ea, we had arranged the tyres before the rise.

I found those spotties, they are a bit so so (worse than i remember) if you still want them i'll send them Monday.

I had a bad run with Coopers, (3 sets and warrenty replacement on all) tread blocks coming off, chipping very bad, not very good Ks, hence my above comment about them

OK have ordered 4 of the Maxxis mt-762 Bighorn...@ 245/75R16 @ $250ea (will get the other in a few weeks )..bargan i thought ...but theres a hold up on orders from where ever...(well i am in hervey bay after all)so they wont be here for a week !!..ohhh well ....

when l get them fitted...., as there is a bit of discussion on tires at the mo ..im going to do a running recored of the maxxis so we all can see how they pull up.....now this may take a little time but will be interesting

cheers
