I'm happy with the Maxxis 751 Bravos on my Defender. Before I bought them, I asked everyone I saw with them fitted, what they thought of them. Everyone seemed to be happy.
I don't know anything about the Goodyears.
Evening all.
Time has come to replace the dodgy HT tyres on the disco, and tomorrow is the magic day, as they will be needed for a run to coonabarabran on friday evening.
I can get a set of 5 Maxxis 751s for under 1k, or I can get 4 of the Goodyear Wrangler AT/SAs.
Any thoughts?
D2, no lift, 70-80% on road driving, remainder off road/ gravel roads.
Which would you go for?
Cheers

gday disco, i have just purchased a set of goodyear wranglers, i purchased the silent armour. fella i purchased from is a mate who works for the tyre retailer and has them on his 4wd, has been cape york,kimberly done 60k still plenty of thread. looks like goodyear make a decent tread.
the silent armour i purchased have a reasonably aggresive tread pattern and are quiet. if i actually new how good they were i wouldnt have bought a set of muddies.
anyhows i cant compare the 2 brands you are looking at but am happy with goodyears. goodluck.
My experience with Maxxis Bravo's are as per the photo. this was after 3 1/2 yrs and 40,000kms. Notcie that the tread is still 70-90%. Pressures checked every month, no leaks. strange thing is it was all 4 tyres not just the odd one.
Have had Bridgestones before this and they lasted a lot longer and had to change due to them wearing out!!!!
Gone back to Dueler 694's. Got Lt's for the price of the normal 694's.
245/70's correct the speedo to about 3-4% at speed. Will fit the rims easy.
Cheers
