19" Maxxis AT Tyres

**hv_man** · 5th November 2016, 12:48 AM

Going to the 18" compomotives would also be one of if not the most expensive mod one performs to their D4. It's considerable $$ hence the focus.
If the rims where cheap we wouldn't be having this discussion we'd just buy them and move on to the next mod like other makes.
Unfortunately for now we're stuck with one solution. (We don't speak of the other)
A premium rim from a premium manufacture at a premium price.

I'm keen to give the 980's a go, but I know in the end I'll probably end up going to the compomotives.

Right that's it, I've bloody had enough❗️

Back at farm this weekend, I had tyres down, front at 22psi and rear at 24psi. Same bulldozed tracks and a creek crossing and I have another gash in the rear so now I have 3 gashed tyres in the sidewall

I'm as Mad as a Cut Snake.

This is ridiculous almost 30 years no sidewall damage (well one but that was inevitable) and now 3 on these Maxxis.

I don't know if it's the tyre itself that it's crap or it's the sizing

Either way they're not making the grade.

Time to bow my head, swallow my pride and empty my pockets to go with the GOE 18" rims. I gave these Maxxis a go and they didn't perform now time to go back to the trusty old BFG OR Coopers.

Bugger mate. Can't comment on the 19 in Maxxis save to say they are not as HD as the same tyre in 16inch...

The carcass on the 19 is a 115 load rating versus 120 for the 16.

Cheers

That's not good Babs! However it is interesting that I traveled the 600km GGR fully loaded and towing a 1200kg CT and not even get a chip or cut let alone a slash in a tyre. The gravel road was not only corrugated but definitely a lot of sharp rocks around.

So I think it could only be one of two things;

1) Your just bloody unlucky.
2) It's your driving style.(as in you can't drive on the 19's like you would a 17")

Hope you have better luck on the 18's.

Cheers
Scott.

That's terrible news. Mine are fine but I haven't challenged them, so that's not relevant.

Have you considered going back to the shop, could you have go a crook batch?

These tyres are supposed to be the solution of 19" tyre choice problem but for it seems to have been the start of the problem.

Hi Babs,

That's a bad result for sure. I think I would be at least raising it with the tyre seller too. You may at least get some goodwill rebate. Tyres should last better than that. You can understand 1 going but this is ridiculous.
