I drive a 1993 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 with a straight six. I got the truck from my dad about six months ago. He bought a set of Buckshots 4 years ago and we have never looked back. These are by far the BEST tires I have ever used. Mud, snow, swamp, dry/wet pavement, it doesn't matter, we never have a problem getting out of what we get in. We wore our first set down to near slicks and they still got us through the thickest stuff we could find in Ohio. We just put on the second set of Buckshots 3 months ago and have been wearing them ever since. Sweet tires!

I just bought my 2nd set of Buckshot Mudders and I'm very happy with the product. I have had many sets of other mud tires in the past, but these outperform them in all situations from mud to rocks to wet/dry pavment. This is the only tire for me and my rig. Keep up the good work as I am now a lifetime customer and also a salesman for your tires to any and all who ask me about my tires. Great tire!

I went through three sets of LT265/75/R16, 6PL Buckshots on my 01 Dodge Ram 1500. For everything short of hardcore rock crawling, these tires are as good as it gets. I used these tires in rocky desert terrain. They have a perfect compound that doesn't shred and chunk out in the rocks, they are incredible in the snow, and have wonderful drivability, and wear characteristics on pavement.

I have had Buckshot Mudders on a 1997 Jeep YJ (30x9.50) and 2001 Dodge Ram Quad-cab (32x11.50)both stock. On both rigs the tires preformed great in all types of terrain. On the light weight Jeep I put roughly 30,000 miles on them (before selling it) and saw vary little ware, and they seemed to hold up almost as well on the full size pickup. I am currently building a 1989 f-150 hunting rig/big boy toy, and will only run Buckshot Mudders on it. If any one is looking for a great off-road tire that can be driven on the street (even a daily driver) they should take a serious look at these before they buy anything!

I have a set of 33x12.50 Buckshots on my yota. You can't get them stuck. About a month ago I went down to the river and drove out into a hole almost covering the tires. After coming to a complete stop, I pulled right out with no problem. These tires work great!

I put a set of Buckshot Mudders on my 2000 Silverado Z-71. I have a locker in the rear, and the engine has been worked well. She dynos 312hp at the wheels. 7.5" superlift kit with 35" tires. 3.73 gears front and rear. She's got the power. I had swampers on it before, and I guess they spoiled me. Here in eastern NC, we have thick black mud. Swampers do well here; however the Buckshots do not clean well enough even when spun up to 6500 rpm. Got stuck the first time out, and had been through competition mud pits without getting stuck with the Swampers. If you plan on doing a lot of wheeling, this isn't your tire. If you spend a lot of time on the road, and occassionally go into the field to pick up game after hunting, work on your deerstands,etc... this is a good choice for you. If you plan to mud often, stick with the tires designed for that purpose (aka Super Swampers).

ive got a 2000 z71 with 35x12.5x16. ive been close but never stuck. my tires were only $760 for all 4 installed w/ everything included. they clean easy. all u need is a little power. look at the ratings. there are only 2 tires rated better for the mud and they suck on the street(not to mention way more expensive) unless you go mudding through (competition mud)-dumbass, you wont get stuck

Many different people I talked to recommended this tire as an all around winner when I was ready to replace my OEM street tires for my Toyota Tacoma 4WD. After all, what good is having a 4X4 if the tires keep getting you stuck all the time? Well, the Buckshots cured that problem. Some people said to avoid them because they won't handle the road well enough in emergency maneuvers. After 2 years and about 40,000 miles, I can now say for certain they are wrong. Some complain that they are too loud on the street. I say, it's a 4X4 not a Cadillac, they sound cool. The only negative is they slide around on ice, but what doesn't? Besides, they can be studded to fix that or you can chain up. I had mine siped some more. Problem solved. Another plus is they last. I estimate I'll get 55,000 to 60,000 miles before they reach 4/32 depth. If you own a 4X4, buy them and don't look back.

I have bought 5 sets and will buy nothing else. I have pulled out trucks and Jeeps using just about every other fancy new tire brand that comes out. I live in Ms so I'm talking gumbo, slick and soupy mud. With the price difference I just laugh all the way to the bank....
Just keep them rotated and you will be happy too...

I have a set of 33x12.50xr15 on my ranger. They exceeded my expectations in the snow and mud. I haven't taken them in the sand, and don't plan on it. They are mud tires, not sand tires. Also, I believe they improved the ride in my truck on pavement.

Priced right. Great Compromise between all out mudders and all terrains.
|
Cons:
|
A bit rough and a little swimmy
|

I've had the original "Super Swampers" which I'll clasify as all out mudder and Good Year all terrains through the years. I would say the Buckshots (LT285/70R16's)on my 2006 Chevy 4wd. Crew Cab are a very good compromise between the two. Great traction in slick muddy conditions and do well in modertely deep ruts. No snow or ice experience with them yet. On the highway I notice a slight swimmy feel when into curves with these tires and this may take some folks a little getting used to. Only light road noise compaired to all out mudders. If you are looking for a great middle ground between all out mudders and everyday all terrains. This is a good tire. Real experience...Expect to get around 30,000 miles under ideal conditions...rotating/chk balance every 5,000 with good front end. They will go 40,000 but due to more wear you loose sipping and risk hydroplain. I wouldn't reccomend pushing it for highway use after they get to that point.

I put a set of 4 on my 2004 Silverado 4 x 4 on Friday. Saturday we got 7" of snow and with the wind we had drifts up to 3' deep. I went everywhere I wanted and needed to go and on Sunday morning ran a taxis service for our Church taking 7 people to the services. They are great. Only slight road noise. I would highly recommend them. I had wanted BFG's but I am glad I made the correct decision. Richard

great all around compromise between the full off road tires and the factory all terrains.
|
Cons:
|
Some noise and some sway in the curves
|
|
It's obvious some of the reviews on this tire are made by people that don't have a clue how to drive in adverse conditions, by some that expect more from the tire than what it's designed for and even a few young punks (the language and mispelled words are a clue of age and maturity). This tire is a perfect tire for what it is designed for. A compromise between full off road tires and factory installed all-terrains. It's not expensive. It works very well in moderate mud, snow and in sand if you know how to drive in these conditions and are not relying on a "super tire" to overcome your inadequacies or abilities. These tires will do just fine for the week-end trip to the deer camp or on the farm and to work during the week. They will get you good wear if rotated properly and kept balanced. They will not allow you to climb tall mountains, forge rivers and lakes, run the dunes and rock climb. They will get you in and out of the deer woods on those rain slick and rutted dirt roads without much difficulty and when the snow comes, they'll get you around just fine. Buy them for the purpose they are designed and you'll be happy. I've used them for years and will continue to do so.

The review on Jan. 9 says it best. A great tire can't overcome peoples lack of abilities to drive off-raod. If you want a tire that will get you up and down wet muddy hunting roads and snow covered lanes. This tire works fine. Deep mud or ice...stay home. Tire run well if kept balanced and rotated. They will break down fast and wear if not taken care of as will most tires.

good all purpose tire for the poor man or the farmer like me great for all around use on and off road.but those of you talking about swamper and others pull your head out of your butt.swamper is good in thick mud and thats it.all you are buying is a name for strictly mud purpose poor road quality.i have run with guys with every kind of tire known to man and i have seen buckshots blow swampers and your other big name tires out of competition.its 99.9% driver not tire.so boys learn how to drive

Pros:

These tires have a long tread life, they are quiet for mud tires, and they are absolutely the most amazing tires in heavy rain
|
Cons:
|
I love this tire and have used it for years, BUT they blow ass in sand
|
|
My first set of these cost $500 including shipping in 2001. My most recent set cost $650 installed. This is for the 285/75/16 (33") tires. I have had 3 sets of these tires and believe they are the best value available. They look cool, they are pretty quiet on the highway and last a very long time.
They are amazing in wet conditions, they are good on dirt, decent in thick mud, great in watery mud, good on rocks, but they suck ass in sand. Even aired down in the 10 psi to 16 psi range (from 65psi) they suck. I have had to go into 4x4 in just a couple inches of sand to get out of it. But overall it is a great tire and great value. I would rate it as the best overall tire available at this time. I recommend it to everyone with a truck.
As long as they don't start raising prices due to popularity I will continue to use and recommend.
If anyone from Maxxis is reading this...MAKE A SAND TIRE!!!
BFG has the new KM-2 and their new Krawler and those are both great in sand. Interco has a very good Mud terrain that is very, very good in sand. Most all terrain tires are good in sand, but look lame.
You guys make a lot of great tires that we use on our dirt bikes and trucks, but you need to get on the bandwagon and come out with a great sand tire, that wears well, is affordable, and looks good.
The Interco tires are expensive and mine were worn to the belts within 6000 miles while I have never gotten less than 38000 miles from a pair of buckshot mudders and have gotten 58000 miles (on my first set).
Your buckshot mudders are a great tire, but you REALLY need to make one for the sand that is just as good. Here in socal we spend more time on sand than anything else except asphalt.

In my opinion this is a great value tire. Long tread life, good traction on almost every surface, and it is affordable by comparison to most other tires (and it looks cool).
Mine are mounted on an '04 Chevy Silverado 4x4 with nothing more than a leveling kit to lift the front end up 2-3".
Great tire overall, does its job well, and I highly recommend it to everyone I know.
I did not give it a ten because there are better tires out there, but none that are anywhere near the price of the buckshot.
If this tire was better in sandy conditions it would get a 10. I think Maxxis needs to make a tire tailored more for glamis, pismo, dumont, and baja type driving.
This is a really good tire, I just stay away from sand with it. It will do okay in sand if aired down to about 6-8 psi, but you better have an air source (and about 20 minutes of spare time) to air back up or you won't be going anywhere once back on the road.
Also driving aired down like that can damage the tires severely and cause separation. They are not designed to be driven aired down like that.
There are quite a few other tires that easily perform as well as the buckshots that are in this price range.....but they will not last long. I have tried several other brands that work good but wear out within 5 to 10 thousand miles. That is not what I consider value. For roughly the same price you can have a name brand Maxxis tire that can easily last 30,000 to 50,000 miles depending on how you drive and how diligently you maintain your air pressure.

To the guy who wrote as a con "they are made of plastic" ... you are an IDIOT.
Plastics are derived from oil by-products created by the refining process.
Virtually every tire made today is made from oil based petroleum products. It would be a near impossible task (if not completely impossible) to find any tire today that is made from rubber.
I don't know what you think a good tire is made from, but virtually all tires are made from the same exact ingredients.
If you didn't like the tires that is fine, but don't be an idiot and make comments that don't make any sense...DUMBASS (see, now that makes sense...because you actually ARE a dumbass).

I own a 2002 2WD ford ranger. 3 inches lift 33x12.5x15 They ride great and i like the road noise. Took it to places where others went in 4wheel drive trucks and didnt get stuck, but havent tried anything too deep yet. Also helped pull my buddy out of red clay they caked up like hell but we both got out. They also stick really great on the street when its rainin. Great tire.

I don't see what guys have against this tire. No it won't go through mud like swampers but what will?
If you want a mud tire that you can leave on your daily driver and not have to change every couple thousand miles it's a good pick. Also a lot cheaper than other tires.

I recently slapped a set of 32x11.5's on my Ford Ranger FX4 level II. They are AWESOME tires. At first I thought they were a little smaller than I would have liked. They looked a lot like 31" tall tires, but they are wider. I just need 8" rims now. Anyway, i had these mounted the morning that I took a 300-mile round trip drive, and they did VERY well on the highway. They weren't noisy at all. You hear them, but I could barely hear them over the radio and the exhaust note. I knocked the pressures down and as they wore in a tad, they seemed to have gotten a little louder. They make the truck sound aggressive though, it's a nice little howl. Rain traction is surprisingly well, much like the 31" BFG's they replaced. Very good compromise tires, have yet to see the snow and ice though. They are also perfect in the gunk we call mud up north. Cleaned VERY well, and they can get traction in 2wd in the middle of the mud pit from a stand still. They bite hard. All in all, a good compromise tire.

Buckshots are great tires. If you know how to drive, they will last.
And to whoever said "I think that these tires are the worst tires i have evere seen in my life if you want some real tires check out superswampers" you put under cons "they wear out to fast on the highway".
You are an ignoramus and probably a young buck that does not know what you are talking about. Buckshots last a hell of a lot longer on highway than swampers. If you knew how to properly operate an off road (or possibly on road, in your case) vehicle, you would not have any troubles out of buckshots.

Only had the tyres on for three weeks 265/75/16, in that time Ive driven about 500 miles and two off road trips, first in heavy snow and ice, the tyres performed very well, the next trip was in sunny winter mud and wet slate and rocks some icy and I must say I was impressed, when the winter sun turned the fields to mud the tyres were very good self cleaning, which meant more mud up the sides of the car, but hey, it looks good.
As commented above, you cant get a better all rounder for the money.
Still got to see how they wear and what they are like in the dry thats why Ive only scored an 8 but even now Im happy with them.

Very pleased with purchase. Just bought a set for my z71 tahoe. Got stuck once so far in some clay, but was my error not the tires. I got pulled out and went back through my ruts with just a little more running start. Would recommend these tires to anyone lookin for a good riding, low noise tire on the road; But still capable to get you to those remote fishing or hunting spots on the weekends. O and i paid around $700 for the set (265/75/16'S)

Good tires for your wanna be extreme off road driver. Most guys running cheap ass rigs will run these cause they are piss poor broke driving rusted pieces of SH*T so they go well if your looking for that welfare look i suppose. If you want some real tires man up and get some Super Swamper TSLs at least for christs sake!

Above, always the out of focus redneck posting drivel.
Look at where the tyre is aimed dickbrain, its not an out and out mud plugger or an A1 rock crawler tyre its a medium very capable all rounder.
Its not as good in mud as a swamper but that isnt as good on the road, work it out thinko.
Having done a few thousand miles on the tyres Im very happy with the road manners an more than adequate performance on rock/slate/mud and snow.
The wear rate is also very very good in comparison to the many remoulds Ive run over the past few years.
Cost £70 each for 265/75/16.

For all those who don't like the tyre just because got stuck or couldn't climb some steep hill... don't buy a fancy expensive tyre, just LEARN TO DRIVE.
This tyre will work wonders if the driver's skills let her. Don't blame the tyre for your lousy driving.
BTW, I've been into wheelin for may years driving a modified 80-series Land Cruiser on 285s Buckshots.

not the best tire in the world, but for the money they are great. they wont slide as bad as some in the mud and they will take you just about anywhere you NEED to go- don't be expecting a swamper but for a good cheap mud tire you cant get much better!
i am currently running Dayton Timberline MT(i got em cheap) and they will go a little better in the mud, but you might slide or you might not- the buckshots pretty well dont slide
for my next set, it'll be maxxis

THese tires are very good for the price. AS long as you have the power to keep em clean, then they keep diggin. Only problem I hae is I have only gotten 20k out of my set of 285/75/r16s. This may have been caused by a bad front end though.
Don't go great in mud in 2-wheel drive but perfom better than most others in 4-wheel drive.

Im not just gonna dis this tire. I have a 2003 chevy silverado 2500 wit a torsion key lift so i could clear 33's. It seemed like The deeper the mud the better they went. but I parked in my buddy's yard one night and left the next morning after a lil rain and eased on the gas and the truck just sit there and spun and it wasn nothin but basically wet grass then i put it in 4wd and it sunk worse but finally made it out by gassing the hell out of it and tore his yard to pieces. I was working at a cattle farm at the time that was close to a swamp and had to cross that swamp several times with these tires to get cows that got out. I never got stuck in the swamp not one time. My boss had a 2002 ford f-350 4x4 heavily modified with over 750 hp and he basically worshipped pro comp mud terrains and i had to pull him out several times. I went through 2 sets of these tires. I was only getting about 19,000 miles out of them and they were wore slap out. I highly recommend BFGoodrich Mud Terrain KM. I got 35,267 miles on them and still got plenty of tread left

i have a 2008 GMC 4x4. i just got these tires about two months ago. so for i had no problems with them. the day after i got them i went down a pipe line by my house that we usually ride the 4 wheelers down to try them out. and three days ago i launched my 18 foot bass boat behind the leeve and even though my truck was staring to sink i walked wright out with these tires. i love them and would reconmend them to anyone that wants some great tires that arent aggressive looking.oh and one more thing they have a beautiful hum not to loud not to low just right

First of all most tires labeled as all terrain, aren’t.
Secondly, there were a number of posts stating that they had never been stuck with this tire. The reason you have never been stuck is that you have not exceeded the limits of your vehicle and driving ability. I never got stuck in my bald ATs when my four wheel drive was out because I didn’t put it in a situation that I could get stuck.
Buchshot Mudders and several other MTs out there are what I would call a true all terrain. The vast majority of tires labeled as all terrains simply will not function in gumbo mud any better than a street tire. Any tire that will function in mud seems to have mud in its name. Are they the best off-road? No, but they are good at a lot of things.
I have heard a lot of references to Swampers and I went back to a bias ply Swamper myself but am prepared to pay the price. I don’t mean money either; frankly you can get a set of LTBs very reasonably price wise but there are other prices to pay. I think I am having a mid-life crisis myself so there are things I put up with for riding Swampers. First of all there is the howl. I mean OTR truckers hold their ears when they pass me on the highway. Personally, I love the sound but it is louder than my 351 vented through duel Thrush glass-packs. For the first fifteen minutes of the trip they will shake your dental work loose, (until they warm up.) I can’t drive faster than 70 or they start to feel squirrely. That number goes lower if there are high crosswinds as there often are where I live. My wife will not ride in the truck with me. (This could be good or bad depending on your perception; the dog however loves it….) I got mine used because the guy that bought them new, lifted his truck, had his tires for one day, brought them back and went back to street tires cause they scared him. Swampers will maximize your skills when off road. They can lug their way out of ruts you had no business being in the first place but they are NOT a great street tire if you can’t live with their issues.
In the mud, Buckshots will drive circles around any truck with ATs regardless of how tall those ATs are. They will be a nice drive on the street and handle most terrains you through at them. If you trailer your 4x4 to the trail head every week get something else, but if you drive it daily, these are great tires.
Just my 2 cents….

awesome all around tire for a radial
|
Cons:

after 2 years of use at extreme low pressure sidewall split

Even better than the bfg mt in my opinion excellent on road and very good off road for a radial! Not recommended however for a purely trail rig.

Have less than 5000 miles on a set and the sidewall blows out going down the road. Bought another to replace it and the sidewall had a pin hole from the factory. Shotty quality.

I had just about run my course with a set of 31" Toyo AT's on my 3.0 Ford Ranger 4x4, and was needing something much more aggressive, self-cleaning, had a higher void ratio in the tread, while also needing to be a safe and reliable performer on the highway for school and travel, especially in the rain, AND be affordable. I looked high and low, all over town, at all brands and types, and for the money/piece of mind, the 31x10.50R15 Maxxis Buckshot XMT Mudders fit the bill nicely. I had never considered or knew of Maxxis tires being used aside from motocross applications so the brand was new to me. Noting highway friendliness as a necessary factor, Interco tires were quickly exhausted (having experience with TSL radials). My top 3 choices came down to 1)Toyo MT's, 2) Cooper STT's, and 3) Maxxis Buckshot XMT's. I loved both the Toyo's and Coopers for their segmented molds, generous sipping, and appealing tread arrangements, but both pushed or exceeded the $200 mark a piece. The Maxxis tire was certainly the "under dog" of the choices I had; and for good reason. I had only seen Buckshots on a handful of rigs in the past, and was unaware of their reputation. Secondly, they are constructed via clamshell molding, making them a cheaper tire to produce-translating to greater chances for construction fatigue. But when a 31" XMT was rolled out onto the showroom floor at the end of the long day of looking and deciding, I was SOLD. At $163 a piece, with deep sipes, and a somewhat aggressive sidewall-unlike the buttery smooth sidewall present on the original Mudder- there wasn't much discouragement. I purchased 5 of them that day, and they've performed FLAWLESSLY on both the highway (wet and dry) and on all off-road conditions. Wether it be slimy, soupy, thick or clay-rich mud, they've pulled through. On dirt, rocks, tree roots, telephone polls and ruts, you can trust them. All around a GREAT BUY. *One tire was however replaced free of charge after about a month, due to wobbly shaking. The cause of this was unknown, and no visible signs of tread/belt separation were detected.*

I bought these tires for my 2009 Z71. I have 275 65R18's. i wanted a 10 ply tire but am satisfied with the 8. So far I have about 9K on them and tehy are wearing alittle faster than i was wanting them to. I have a set of Summit Mud dawgs on a 94 suburban that I have about 52K on and I am pretty sure I wont get that out of these but if i get 35K, I will be happy. Most of my driving is on paved roads, i just wanted something to get me thru the field when needed.
Overall they are a good tire. I have driven them thru 3 snow storms and they have done well with no traction problems yet. I have pulled 3 people out of the ditch in the snow, one was a HHR that was in park cause we couldn't find anywhere to hook to so we wrapped the strap thru the wheel. I have been in any really deep mud but have had the sidewalls covered and tehy did well. Takes alittle more wheel spin to clear than the Mud Dawgs but the will clean out. There could be more sipping but it is what it is. If these tires were junk, they wouldnt have been around for as long as they have. I might put a set back on, tread life and the price next time will be what will determine that.

I must say I love my buckshots. even after 3 years of wheeling every weekend they perform with most new tires. A buddy of mine spent 900 on some kuhmo kl71's to find out my buckshots at only 650 performed better. These tires are also great on road and don't make a lot of sound. I have yet to do anything in the snow but this upcoming winter I'm going to need to find some. Wet roads the tires do decent in. I notice they throw a lot of water on passing drivers but whats that matter to me? hahahaha

I have only had about 20,000 miles on these tire and they are as bald as Kojak. I wanted a tire that would hold up on gravel roads and the guy said these are the best. Guess that's why he's a salesmen. Way to soft and gravel roads eat them up fast. Very poor tire, trust me I'm not one to write a complaint, but these tires have got my blood boiling.

I needed new tires for the my 2005 dodge and came across the buckshot. Never heard much about them, but gave them a try. Needless to say, I am very impressed. From snowpacked hiways to mud filled trails(gumbo), these tires performed great! I did have them studded and sipped.

I have the Buckshot XMT Mudders on my 08 dodge dually for 11 months and they are seperating and cracking on the sidewalls they only have 15000 miles on them and was just told by the tire shop that they are unsafe to drive on. I contacted maxxis and they said its a well known problem with them but they would do nothing, they said take them back to the place where you bought the place where you bought them. I informed them I am in the military and it is 500 miles away they they said they would not do anything but they would sell me another tire that "will never do this again". Even after a Maxxis distributor said the were not safe to drive on they still wont replace them. I will never buy another Maxxis product and hopefully anyone looking at them will change their mind after reading this. Good luck to all and stay away for Maxxis they dont stand behind their product

Tires were very good when new and after 20,000mi still have half tread. Rotated regularly. After 2 1/2yrs. they are dryrotted so bad that even w/ decent tread still on them, they will have to be replaced. Emailed pics and explanation of condition to Maxxis and they said I would have to drive 3hrs. to see IF they would be covered under warranty and even IF they were, I would hardly get anything off of a new set anyway. The dealer I spoke with said that this is normal weather cracks. I wish I could post picks of these normal weather cracks.

I have a 99 Dodge with new 35 inch Buckshots. I just wore my first set out and they were amazing in the mud. I live in Mississippi and of course we all mud ride and those tires never gave me problems. I took the old.set off with about %20 tread left and put bighorns on. Well the were not as good bran new as my wore out buckshots were so I sold those and went back to the original. I would recommend buckshots to anyone who goes off road.

I have had a set on an 06 FX4 xcab for 5 years. They were too small--31" on my 18" factory wheels to be impressive on a full size truck. I recently did a 6" suspension lift and replaced them with 34.4" Firestone Destination MTs--report later.

I have put a few thousand miles on these 31x10.50x15's on my '96 XJ with a 3" lift. I must say I am VERY impressed with the all around performance of this tire. I have been through mud, dirt, gravel, rocky trails... everything except snow so far. The Buckshots just grip and pull and keep on going. Road noise is very mild for an aggressive MTR. They look great on my Jeep, no mall crawler looks here, just an old school mudder. Highway manners are superb and they balanced perfectly. Cruising the Interstate at 80 in the Jeep they give no vibes or wiggle. They corner relatively flat and have done well on wet pavement. Looking forward to snow this winter... My Jeep is a weekend trail rig and occasional commuter just for a change of pace and these tires have been PERFECT so far!

Cheaper than other mud tires and perform just as well

After having them on my daily driver jeep for a year and a half, I am very happy with them. I put alot of highway miles on them driving between Florida and Louisiana and they have plenty of tread on them still, though watch out in rainy conditions. They sipe mud of the treads well and have never gummed up. In sand they perform better than expected with a mud terrain tire, not bogging down too much. I have no experience with snow with them. They are cheaper than most mud terrains and perform just as well as many expensive tires in my experience.

I've had 3 sets of these tires (285 75 16) now. I have a 3/4 ton truck that is a work truck. I am completely disgusted with maxxis tires. Each set of tires I've had at least one tire in the set of 4 seperate from the inside and creat a huge bubble in the tire. Ruins the tire. I always check and keep proper psi, and never overload the tires. Always rotated every 6,000 miles. When the tires seperate they have less than 10,000 miles on them but are about 3 years old. This truck doesn't get a lot of miles on it but is always stored in garage unless rolling down the road. I don't know where I went wrong. I feel stupid for buying additional maxxis tires after the first tire came apart. I will NEVER buy another maxxis tire for a work truck or any truck I own for that matter. I am totally disgusted!!!!!!!!!!!! F$&k maxxis tires!!!!!

these tires do produce some road noise, but after listening to my 1992 dodge diesel, it really isnt that bad, bad if give take 250 mile trips one way on try pavement, they will get your attention, awesome traction, espcially if your state allows studding

I have been using them for 13 years and have never had a flat or been stuck yet. from death vally to florida mud ruts they are good tires. most miles have been highway but a lot of off road and mountain use too. i have a dodge one ton dually 4x4 and have pulled 2 in bridge stand guy wires up and down mountains when the dozer was broke. some people can bitch and lie about how they dont like the tire but fact is this tire is one of the best. just look at the reviews from all the 4x4 mags and review sites. the majority of people have had good results. drive like a grown up,rotate your tires and check presure. dont spin out at every red light and dont get drunked up and see if you cant out pull your friends truck and they will last as long as you like. about to buy my third set in 13 years. the only reason im doing that is because after 7 years they are starting to crack around the lugs. whats that tell ya. LOL

I got a set of 31x10.50 on a ford ranger extended cab ... I only put around a 1000 to 1200 miles on em so far but I really like them . They have such a deep tread ,and they do howl going down the road (i like that sound ) so if ur wanting a quite tire this is not the tire for you , at first they were a lil squirmy on the pavement but after a couple a days they have stop that . They done good in the rain so far and I just love the looks of this tire really set my truck off ...and get lots of complements on the tires ... Over all I think they are a great tire would diff buy them again ,when these wear out I'm getting more just bigger and they are not to pricey either ...would recommend
