Can't believe someone has just beaten me to a question of the same origin at he same time.
Oh well, double the chance now I suppose.

Gossy replied:

if mainly driving on sealed road I would go for the cheaper option. Any tyre will get a screw in it. That's just bad luck, not bad tyres. Personally I would go for an AT tyre with close treads so it's not as noisy on the road.
Just my two cents worth.

Cheers,

I can almost guarantee she went to Ian Diffen Tyre Centre in Kal. We live in Kal and went in there to get a quote on Goodyear Wranglers but the tyre dude put them down so badly and suggested the Maxxis. We've had Wranglers before so know they are good for what we want, ended up going elsewhere and buying Coopers. I know this doesn't answer your question but perhaps your sister should go to a few other tyre places and get some other options. That centre seems to push the Maxxis and won't even consider selling you a different brand.

If it's only a tek screw puncture and the tyre is otherwise sound, it should be able to be patched with an internal gator.

Shouldn't be any need to discard the tyre otherwise.

My son has maxis road tyres on his commodore and I have to say that we won't be buying again. Wear quickly, poor grip and slippery in the wet.

Try Kelly safaris for cheap tyres. I have had 2 sets (long time ago now) and thought that they were OK for the price.
