Maxxis MT-762 Bighorn

Great mud tyres – Had these tyres on my first np300 and they are a great tyre . On road they were a little bit noisy but not to bad for a MT. On road these tyres have been the best in mud that i have ever used . No need to drop tyre pressure's as the grip is outstanding. I would highly recommend them to anyone.  Show details

Caravan told the story!! – I bought a new dual axle caravan from the old UNIVERSAL GROUP and it was fitted with MT 762's. After towing for two years around Australia and doing approximately 28,000 kms they looked like new. Honestly with a fully loaded 25' caravan I was amazed. We never had a puncture or blowout during this time and the grip and durability was exceptional.… Read more

They showed minimal signs of wear and we're still in great condition. We had a big moment down near Wilson's Prom. On an unmarked corner. Half way into the corner which was much sharper than thought the road dropped with reverse chamber and the outside wheels of the van dropped off the shoulder. If it wasn't for the tyres and the way they held in the rocky edge and then found there way back on the shoulder we would have been off in the trees. Since then I have had to replace the tyres on my D-Max and I have fitted it with MT-762's. Great Tyre

Happy Customer – I have just purchased a second set of tyres after getting 95000km (4 tyres no spare) out of the first set with no punctures, lost tread blocks, sidewall cuts or bead breaks. Standard size 235/85R16 10 ply at 45/70psi @ 110 hwy front/rear and 35/45 psi @ 80 dirt/gravel. Travelled often at GVM. Used extensively on sand at 12psi and gravel and bush… Read more

tracks. Can dig in quickly in sand depending on driving style. Many highway kilometers to Sydney too. I avoid mud where possible but I have never been stuck when i have been in mud. They do wear unevenly across the tread so have had to rotate to avoid excessive vibration. Happy repeat customer although the price has gone up.

Boghorns are bang for bucks! – You will pay much more for other brands, but on dodgy terrain these tyres stick like glue! You can spend heaps more, but value for money wise these are the duck's guts! Mud, sand, rocks, snow all get eaten by these bad boys. Easy to get hold of, my tyre bloke says they are easy to fit.  Show details

Maxxis MT 762 – Have tried a few brands of mud tyres on the old Lux in 265/75R16 and recently got some 17" rims so decided on the 275/70R17 Maxxis MT762 8ply and straight away found the ride comfort no where near as harsh as the 16" 10plys. You can feel the lugs twist as you apply power down and have increased my pressures to suit my driving style. No noisier… Read more

than any other mud I've had from Mickey's to Generals. Best wet grip was General Grabber MT. Best steering response is Mickey MTZ's followed by Maxxis MT762.

Never had dramas in sand just air down to suit.

Will see how they go km wise.

Just nice to have some ride comfort instead of the bone jarring ride

BIG HORN – Are the tyres durable? = they are not as durable as other tyres of the same price, they need that little bit more on the side to make them come up to scratch with other muddies and stop the chaffing of the side wall, but money for value they are very good How do the tyres impact the performance of your car? = these tyres lack performance in… Read more

certain conditions that other tyres I have had did not lack --- just like all muddies they are dangerous on wet roads so slow down and don't blame the tyres when you slide of the road especially at roundabouts and yes they are NOISY deal with it

Amazing tyre – Done 70,000kms on the tyre and still have another 5,000kms left to go. They have been up the Cape (frenchmans and old tele track) and numerous trips to cooktown, creb track and dalbeg in the burdekin. They have had a fair amount of the black bitumen mileage too. Great tyre would recommend to anyone  Show details

Excellent value and performance – 255/65R17 had these as off-road tires on a second set of rims for my 2006 Grand Cherokee. Excellent value for money, fantastic grip and very hard wearing on all surfaces. Got a couple of plugs in them now from some rough rocks and got them down to 12psi on the sand dunes before one started to leak with sand ion the bead but was going pretty hard… Read more

and climbing with corners so impressed all the same with the performance. Noisy on the blacktop but that's to be expected when you look at the tread. I reckon probably put 20kms on them and minimal wear so far, maybe 2mm.? All round i would recommend definitely value to money for what you get no question.

My favourite MT (Mud Terrain) tyre hands down! – Best value for money Mud Terrain tyres on the market today as far as I'm concerned, I own a Nissan Patrol GU that had the wobbles with other brands, went to the Big Horn's (size LT255/85x16) and got rid of the wobbles significantly!, would recommend these tyres to any Nissan Patrol GU driver that gets that annoying wheel vibration at certain speeds, good looking, great off-road tyres as well! on my 3rd set and still very pleased with them.  Show details

SECOND SET NOW – For bang for buck I recon they are the best. have been to Frazer Island on the beach in hot dry conditions deep soft sand no problem. I had Patrol loaded so much that the rear was riding on the bump stops. I have found them to be at least 40% better than the Bridgestone rubbish the patrol comes with in the rain. go figure.. a mud tyre that's… Read more

excellent in the rain. wear is ok, I am getting about 50K out of them mainly on road. they are quiet for muddies but when they wear down they get noisier. grip off road is awesome.

no lockers needed – Big horns best in mud compared to bfg mud/all terrains maxxis for hard core 4x4 blokes not pretenders like alot of bfg mud/all terrain blokes eg Mr Moss all show no go

Great Off-Road Tyre, Excellent Value – I've had my Maxxis Bighorn 762s for 4 years now and I'll be buying them again. Yes they are noisey on road, but mine have gotten quiter as they've worn, and they are much quiter at 32psi then they are at say 40psi, they also grip better at lower psi, I used to think they were a bit slippery on wet road (all mud tyre are) but reducing the pressure… Read more

helped a lot.

Mine have 40,000km of off-road, dirt and Freeway kms and they have worn nice and evenly. No balance issues for me but my old truck isn't exactly a Rolls Royce, I think all the wheel weights fell off the first time I went off-road but it's no different at 110kph as it is with freshly balanced road tyres.

I have busted one sidewall on a sharp rock but 2 other guys with Mickey Thompsons busted there's on the same spot and mine held air till the next day, where thiers went down straight away.

Great off-road grip in all conditions!

Maxxis m/t-762 big horn – Well I have been running a set of maxxis big horn m/ts 32's on 15/8 rims....on my old rangie for 6 years admittedly only doing about 10,000km per year but highway and off road in the victorian high country Extremely good value for money do what they are meant to and wear well, value for dollar hands down over ridiculously priced BFG and… Read more

coopers.

Now put a set of 17" on my mazda bt50.....again very happy at295 a corner vs 450-500 for others.....

Balance problems – I purchased a set about 12 mths ago done 10,000 km they started vibrating balanced them at 3 diff tyre stores sent back to where I bought them for a claim and maxxis will do nothing about it apparently my fault for not rotating them will never buy them again Bad warranty

Balance issues – Had 33" Big Horns fitted to my Hilux. They were great for the first 10,00km or so then I had vibration issues. Had all the fixes done, wheel alignments, balances, rotations, tail shaft balance, centre bearing chnage etc. Finally I managed a look at the tyres on the balance machine, they were flat spotted in a couple of locations. Finally after… Read more

spending a fortune on the fixes my tyre retailer managed to get a partial refund. Good traction in the mud and rocks, not too noisy. No block loss, bag out well for sand but at lower than expected pressures. Balance issues, uneven wear.

Great for all conditions – Great tyre especially for the price you pay! Great in mud cos they just dig and dig until they find the grip! Not built for sand but once pressures are at 25 or below I traveled Fraser for a week didn't get stuck once. Great in snow, they are harder compound so need to drive appropriately on road in icy conditions, but tell me a tyre that is great… Read more

in ice....? I got 85k from my last set and they are still going on a trailer, in 33s with at least 90% on road driving. Now onto second set that have 20k on them still looking brand new. If you take the time and adjust the pressures and rotate every 10k they will easily outlast any BFGs or Coopers.... and cost 2/3 the price! Winning! reliable, cheap, tough looking, hard wearing Can be a little noisy - motivation to play louder music or Bigger exhaust

Can walk the talk – Had set of 32" on my patol gu the last year and half and they look great and go well. will dig you into the the sand if you spin em too hard (driver error) but well aired down does the trick. great in the mud and those side walls grip well. not too loud on the road. the wear rate looks fine too after 15k of mainly bitumen Price, wear rate, great in mud n rocks Avoid digging in on the sand

Overall they are good – Had these tyres on my patrol for a few years now and they still going well, been across the Simpson desert and never let me down, side walls are tough and bag out when let down. Good grip in the wet compared to other tyres i've tried. Little noisy on the highway but you gotta expect this from a mud tyre. Using 315/75/16 and they do grip well off… Read more

road and are pretty good on the beach as long as you let em down to 20 or less. Quality They need balancing more as they get older like most big tyres.

Tyre Disaster – What a waste of money. These tyres are a good example of how not to make a tyre. They are loud on-road and they don't grip on icy or wet roads. I spoke to the distributer who refused to help in any way with the tyre. Take my advice use these tyres as a swing of the kids, but not on your 4X4. Noisy, delicate, usless on wet roads.

Terrible - Avoid at all costs – I have a 1998 Pathfinder and I have done over 200,000 is all terrain and my car has never had any handling problems. Since I Have fitted the big horn tyres, my car has become lethal in wet conditions, when driven on road. I have had one accident, where the car simply ran off the road as I cornered on a wet road - the front wheels completely lost… Read more

traction in the wet. I have had another near miss, again when driving on wet roads, the front wheels aqua-planed and again all steering control was lost. I am very disappointed and consider the tyres at best a complete wast of money and at worst, a death trap waiting to happen.

Absolutely no grip on road in the wet.

Cruiser 4500 Efi – I have a Landcruiser pick up and it's got a camper at the back. Together it weights 3.5 tons. I have Big Horns MT 762 on and did from Cape Town (South Africa) up to Zambia in to Angola and back 10 000km. Sand, Mud and rock the real african war roads you can get. I did 25 000km on the tyres on the monent. I run them O.3bar when the sand or mud… Read more ·  1

gets very bad. That is very flat and not good for sidewalls. I did a lot of desert, sand and very bad rocky ereas as well. Not one flat tyre yet. I also had a lot of very good tyres in the past but I must say my next tyres will be Maxxis. I measured the tyres and with a heavy vechile it only worn 5mm. Exellent!!

Perfect on and off road – Great price,not noisy on road and incredible grip off road on my hilux.given them a few good work outs and havnt disappointed once.now just waiting to see how many k"s I get out of them .big upgrade from the old cooper atr's .will b more than happy to buy again Reliable, quiet muddy  Show reply

Excellent – A mate changed to mickey thompsons got first blowout in years and was terrible in mud. Will keep on buying this tyre as it is perfect for me. Great in the mud and will carry heavy heavy loads in extreme conditions flat out. Great tyre for carrying loads in hot conditions. Been taking them to the territory for last few years with no punctures. … Read more ·  1

Perfect for mud, slightly better than the buckshot in mud. Not so great on sand compared to other wider tyres which can be expected when comparing a 235 to a 265. Have to let pressure down and your OK, not the end of the world but annoying and time consuming.

Excellent – Fantastic tyre and performed as well as, if not better than, we hoped when we put them on. Got them specifically for our Cape York trip from Perth. Did the Gibb River Rd, Bloomfield Track (twice), Old Telegraph Track, Creb Track and Great Central Rd without a puncture and only a few small chips, most of that towing a camper trailer. Handled… Read more ·  1

gravel well, great in the mud, and took us anywhere we wanted with no dramas. Used to run Coopers AT, but never again. The camper had them on and that had a high impact puncture while the Bighorns were fine. Now have the utmost confidence in them and will definitely get another set in future, including the camper! Grips well on mud, gravel & bitumen (even on wet roads). Strong tyre, hard to puncture and not prone to chipping or tearing. A bit noisy on smooth bitumen roads. Doesn't look like they'll wear as well as some other tyres but still early days.

Excellent – Keep tyre pressure to suit conditions. So important for tread life. Don't listen to all the big brand hype. It's all marketing. I've been travelling for the last 10 years, and have used a couple of big name tyres like cooper stt, bf mt, and these maxxis outperformed. I choose m/t over a/t for the peace of mind to get out of trouble when it… Read more ·  1

rains in the outback. A/t will simply leave you stranded. Not to good having misus and kids in the back. Just for the record, Hancook m/t,would be our second preference. Used them previusly, and there fantastic as well. Bloody great tyre. Travelled last 6 months with wife and 2 kids in our GU Patrol, and not towing anything. Anne Beadell Hwy,Gunbarrel Hwy, Canning Stock Route and returned to Alice via Tanami Road then Melbourne. Not one puncture. Still has about 70% tread. Couldn't be happier. Forget other brands. Been there, it's all talk. Little blacktop noise. But we enjoyed it. Just turn up the music or kids dvd movie volume. And trust me, they still sleep. It's all part of having a 4wd. Otherwise ,we would of driven a car and stuck to the blacktops. No fun in that.

Bad – only suited for mud would never buy this brand again think i will fork out the extra $30 a tyre and stick with tyre i run on my dual cab Mickey Thompson MTZ 80,000km old and at half tread what a tyre great off road tyre no problems will handle all the mud you can throw at them road noise very loud and gets worse at 100kmh tyre wear is not good they dont like hot roads and lots of gravel driving im looking at getting about 30,000km

Good – i have 255/65/17 LT 8ply (30.1 in the old scale) and drive a mix of sand, Rock, Dirt, gravel and mostly tar lightly loaded 4wd Ute. i bump the pressure up to 40PSI for tar and drop down to 16 for the sand. done 10,000km and are wearing well, a bit of tread compression at the start and a few lugs have knicks on them after a few hours of rocky Low… Read more ·  2

range work.

i also have a set of 235/80/15 Duratrac Kevlars on another vehicle and they are wearing alot faster then the Bighorns albeit the Kevlars are carting an extra tonne

Although my next set of tyres probably will be more All terrain, because i do alot of Tar driving. If you are on a budget like i was but still want something that will get you thru the mud and dont mind a bit of hum these are tyres worth considering. Excellent in mud

pretty good on most terrain

fairly resilient to chipping driving on soft sand

Hum on tar

Great tyre – I have done 65,000 km on these bighorns m/t still about 30% tread left, my usage has been 70% bitumen and 30 % offroad ( beach, mud, rock 4x4 ), I drive pretty fast too I'm a bit of a young hoon, they have copped a beating, i would only get 15,000km out of the stock bridgestones A/T's my car came with.. A great tyre never had any punctures they… Read more ·  1

wear pretty well if u rotate them about every 10,000km, and keep them pumped up harder on the bitumen ( 40psi) , made it up some pretty steep muddy hills towing trailer with mx bikes, mates with other big brand tyre had no chance. The Big horns seem to self clean themselves in the mud the tread doesn't get chocked up. Strong, wear well, go anywhere, cheap never had puncture, look good, handle well, should get atleast 80,000+ Km A little loud up around the 100kmh, on wet bitumen they are pretty slippery in the rear but I have a dual cab ute and no extra weight in rear,
