A report on tyres

Robin Miller (member here) put me on to Maxis Big Horns sometime back because he was running a set at the time.

Being a bit short of cash, I had them installed, and waited to see what would happen because they are a damn site cheaper than the popular brands.

Being a full mud tyre they can become very loud on some bitumen roads but you get use to it after a while. I was fully expecting them to be hopeless on the hard top, but it turns out I was wrong.

In the bush they are very good. We’ve crossed Scoria plains, stake country, rough bush, and just about everything else. Not one chip off the tyre or anything else.

Have to say I’m impressed for the price. They are certainly better than Coopers in rough country.

Unlike many others, I run my pressures at 35PSI unless in sand or mud. This seems to do me well. I’m not an exponent of how many miles you get out of a tyre. It’s the work they do in the long run that matters.

Cheers
