19" Maxxis AT Tyres

**Grentarc** · 2nd May 2016, 04:09 PM

I thought I should put this here in it's own thread

During all my researching of AT tyres in 255/55R19, I came across some from Maxxis - https://www.jaxtyres.com.au/tyres/br.../a-t-980-bravo

I emailed Maxxis Australia about them, and they replied with "They are listed as a 10ply, with a load index of 115"

Maxxis don't list the size on their site, but did say that they have stock in their Sydney warehouse.

The special at Jax has ended (was $309 F&B ) and is now listed on their site at $339 F&B

I (unfortunately?) am not in need of a new set of tyres yet, but on previous cars I had fantastic experiences with Maxxis, as did my brother.

I have just purchased for my 2012 SE V6 a set of these maxxis for an upcoming lap around the country towing a 2500kg caravan. I shall report my findings on their performance on return in about 3 months
Cheers fred

I think that would be the highest ply and load rating I've seen on a 255/55/19. Is it confirmed on the side wall as 10 ply 115 load rating?

I suspect 10 PR rather than 10 plies.

I think you are quite right as they list on their site everything as "PR"
I guess the person responding to emails doesn't know the difference?

I have these on my ford ranger, I have done 30000kms and the wear has been excellent, I estimate 80k to 90k for sure (mind you a lot of highway kms) they are very good offroad, I will be purchasing these as my next tyre for my D4. Just cant justify the cost to get a set of 18's. Good Find!

I don't know the difference, what does PR stand for so I can google. I'm looking for a tough tyre that can handle poorly maintained outback roads/tracks, some rock and shale. Looking to minimise punctures. Mud and sand is less important. I'm currently leaning to Hankooks but if Maxxis are a stronger tyre I can make the change. They look tough!

This may help,means Ply Rating

Tire Tech Information - Load Range / Ply Rating Identification

PR stands for Ply Rating
It basically means that they're saying it "has" the same strength as a 10 ply tyre, but has less plies.
The Hankook has 6 actual plies (no idea if it has a PR) and a load rating of 111.
I would very much like it if someone who has these tyres (Fred?) could have a look on the sidewall and post the ply specifications.

115 load rating would suggest much higher side walk strength compared to other 255/55/19s available.

I would also rethink a 18" rim purchase x 4.
