Thread: 19" Maxxis AT Tyres

& at almost $100 per corner less than the Cooper Zeon LTZ's I currently have they seem like a bargain.

Our new 19” Maxxis 980s are performing well on this trip. No sign of excessive chipping etc. after driving the Skulls Springs Rd and through Warrawagine Station, Muccan Shay Gap and the boreline.
ALanH.

I bought 5 Maxxis 19” in June to do the Big Red Bash etc. They were readily available at $310 fitted/balanced.
Since then I’ve done 4500km return towing an AOR Quantum (2.5t) plus another 1000 or so around town.

The road from Windorah to the Bash was as rough as guts by the time we drove it. Bulldust to sharp rocks and everything in between. The tyres have performed faultlessly and show very little wear.

At this stage I would get them again. They do make a little noise, but that doesn’t worry me.

My mate ran Maxxis 980 19 inch to Cape York and the Old Tele Track. Really Impressive. Their depth of tread is some mm less than Duratrac but great value nonetheless.

Cheers

The tyre retailer told me they were noisy but it’s not significant. After having had 3 Deafeners it still seems eerily quiet. 😁

10k Km since I fitted them, I am finding my set very noisy at 60 km/h. Once at highway speeds though, no issues.

What were you running previously to your Maxxis as a noise comparison? Seems the thread is saying the GG's are quieter. I am currently needing to replace a set of five Cooper LTZ. If you were to do it again would you go General Grabber or Maxxis next time?

Have a look at the new Pirelli All Terrain Plus - reportedly quiet and has reasonably open tread with full depth voids but not LT rated in 255/55R19.
