Has anyone experience with these tyres.
I am about to change the original Bridgestone H/T on my SWB Pajero.
What do you think about the above. Thanks.

Hi Merv
Have them on my Cruiser and found them OK. Have done just over 60K on them and probably will get another 5 or 10 out of them.
Cheers
Howard.

Running the 751s on the front of 1996 LWB pajero.
OK on road and dirt for about 6,000k without any problems.
Showing good wear.
Not that agressive, and about middle of the range for grip on bitumen wet and dry and dirt.
Havn't tried them on sand or mud yet. Bagging seems to be about average, not as much as the Kumho, but more than some others.
For the price, paid $195.00 ea about 2 months ago, for 235/85/16 10 ply, seem pretty good.
Have a little bit of a hum on bitumen at about 95, but tyre pressures may solve that.
Still getting to know them.

Hi Merv,
I replaced Bridgestones with Maxxis Bravo A/T. I would say they are a bit better.
Have used them for about 25k km on bituman, dirt and gibber and found them up to the job.
I would recommend you give them a go.
Good luck,
Chris

Very happy with them on my Patrol, particularly for the price.
Done Googs a couple of times, numerous
Border Track runs and across the Simpson without any problems. (plus lots of city driving)
On our Simpson trip one of the other vehicles did 3 Coopers but no issues with the Maxxis.
Much better than the Pirrellis I had on previously which I would never buy again (sidewall bubbles on 3 out of the 4).
Cheers
Trev

Read the last two posts. Diametrically opposed
views.
What's a poor fellow to do.
I thank everyone who has responded. More pluses than minuses so I guess I will try them.
Merv.
Tell me. why do kamikaze pilots wear crash helmets?

Agree with you Merv.
I have found them a good compromise between price, grip and milage.
Depends how much money you have.
If you are looking at them, like me, money is to be considered, and I don't know why people spend $250/300 per tyre when something like a Maxxis works. There are other tyres in this price range, but I like to try two before I buy four. I am also running kumhos and Simex at the moment, and the Maxxis are as equal.
