I'm interested in getting some Maxxis MT 753 Bravo Series as they look like a happy medium between an all terrain and a mud tyre. I've only seen a pic on their site so far so if anyone s got any info on them I'd be glad to hear from you.

there ok i guess for what you pay for them . Thet are a little soft in the side wall and will wonder at higher speeds in the larger diameter tyres and they wear a lot quicker that most

Yes mate , only talk about personal experoesnce, 32 are not a very large diameter , so I wouldnt be to over concerned with side wall movement , we had 315/75 / 16 on a 100 series and the tyres made the vehicle undrivable after trying BFG muds in the same size , the vehicle drive well

DON'T!

Either buy Coopers or BF Goodrich or some similar quality make.

I recently had an episode in the Simpson where my cheap tyres essentially melted and I had puncture after puncture. We crawled for 12 hours at 20 km/hr to get back to civilisation! Go for the best plys possible.

Skinnies are best for outback work. Fatties best for beach.

Mike-Ts,
The ones I'm interested in are 10ply LT construction.
I've got the Maxxis 751 Bravo Radials on my Rodeo, were on it when I bought it and I'm impressed with them. Very "blocky" tread for a road/sand tyre although very quiet. Great on road, gravel and sand but now want larger diameter and more aggressive tread for more touring in a wider variety of terrain.
