i dont know about american 4wds but on a mighty landcruiser the howl like a bitch, but it gives ur car a fair bit of presence

By the looks of it I'm the only non-american to review this tyre. Well in australia all Paul Hogan referances aside, the real outback bush is about 1000miles from anywhere and damn it if u don't have decent tyres you could be struck and subsequently possibly die, and that's a real possibility. But they've survived everything iv thrown at them: clay mud, soupy mud, deep creeks, gib-rocked deserts, the great simpson sand desert, and all the insanely difficult tracks between.
But the maxxis's have stood the test, done very well, they wear well, are fairly tough. The only downside is that when u get a puncture and u will get one on the way to the red centre its a bit more difficult than other tyres to repair.
I have a 1992 Toyota Landcruiser 75 series Troop Carrier RV, with the usually stuff: 4in lift, 35in tyres, front and back lockers, genIII V8, 15000p warn winch.
N luckily I paid for close to none of it cuz my business does it so I can travel out bush.
But the bighorns do make one hell of a racket on tarmac, I swear my mickeyt baja claws don't make that much noise but its lucky I'm not on the tarmac too much
But over all most people use bighorns as their mean looking daily drive tyres for comp trucks, but they still have some mean offroad ability

Used these on my 04 Rubicon. Loved them for the first 7000 miles. the off-road performance when down hill fast because the tread depth is shallow to start with.

I've tried most of the mud companies out there and these are pretty damn nice. I threw them on my 05 Taco. They took forever to friggin wear out which is a good thing (but im a tire guy and love to get new tires so the wait was killing me). They do well in the mud and clear out with ease. The open shoulders grip rock pretty well. I only had an issue once when I ran over a huge ass nail that went through on the the side lugs so I had to plug it. Any other tire would have done the same. The center has a slightly tighter pattern which I think is why they last so damn long. The only hang up is in snow. As with any other mud tire they do okay. You cant expect them to hook up like velcro because no mud tire will. The deep snow is handled well with these tires. Its that 1 to 2 inches on pavement that can be scary. You just have to drive sensibly and you'll be fine. I would absolutely recommend this tire to anyone. The best thing is that you wont have other rigs with the same tire since everyone sticks to whats popular. Buy them, you wont regret it.

I recommend this tire for someone that has a daily driver but still wants some what of an aggresive tire for the week end. I am currently on my 4th set of them. The set I am currently running on my Tacoma has approx. 25k miles on them and they are still at 3/4 tread. This tire is awesome! For the quality of tire and athe price, No one can match quality or performance!

Bought my set of Maxxis Bighorns on a set of American racing wheels for $200 from a guy online, two of them were brand new and two of them were iffy because his alignment was bad when he put them on. I, AM, IMPRESSED. I put the tires with the lesser tread on the rear wheels of my F150 to keep myself out of trouble off road and the neither of them even look like they have worn down at all, the pair on the front still looks brand new after 10,000 miles from me and I have no idea how many from the previous owner. I will DEFINATELY be buy these tires for every vehicle I own from now on, and probably a pair to replace the other two in the near future.

With my Jeep TJ being such a light vehicle in comparison to some of the other reviewers with their one ton trucks pulling fifth-wheel trailers and such, my Bighorns should last a LONG TIME! At 35/12.5/17 these may be about the largest available. So far I'm loving them. Much more affordable than any other tires I looked at.

I don't know about these tires on heavy trucks but I've had a set on a Taco that lasted over 50k with a small amount of tread left. I don't mean SLICK either but took them off as they did diminish off-road naturally and are CHEAP.
These tires do hum a bit but what mud terrain tire doesn't???? They are not nearly, as bad as, Boggers with humming but they don't pull as well obviously.
This is a tire that handles dirt, gravel, sand (mine were 325/60/18 with less than 10psi) and mud with any mud terrain tire. You're not going to a MUD BOG with these but anything can get stuck if you TRY hard enough. They pull right with the BG Goodwrich Mud TA, Cepek Mud, Goodyear and most of the others except the Bogger or Super Swamper. The good thing though is you can drive on the pavement without rattling your brains or bolts out either.
