Coincidentally just viewed a set of Maxxis on a D4 today!
Owner wasn't around so couldn't discuss.
Would be very keen to fit them as they are LT, but the reported noise puts me off as at least 90% of my driving is bitumen.
That's the only reason I'd go for Hankook or Toyo as by all accounts they are quieter and possibly perform as well (?) on dirt roads.
And a degree cheaper than many others.
My son had the latest Pirelli's on his D3 and they were very impressive, I could have been tempted.
But oh, the cost of them.........
Having said that, there is a saying.. " that the quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten"
I wonder if it applies to the more expensive tyres?
