Re: maxxis buck shot or big horn
Then maybe not maxxis if you do heap of road ks.
Mates got some they ate out pretty fast (buckshots)
I think the big horns are bit better got qouted 60000km for 35x12.5s before there none warrentable at 350 a tyre.

Re: maxxis buck shot or big horn
Most people find the wear on Buckshots very good. Mine showed little wear after 20000km, the current Bighorns are about average for a "mud" tyre wear wise, but feel better off road.
Personally, for more road milage, buckshot or Nankang Mudstar.

Re: maxxis buck shot or big horn
dam expensive. sold a set of 31's few weeks ago, $400 each tyre which in the scheme of things is alot of money to pay for a 31".
nangkang mudstar will give you the most kms but in saying that the tread pattern is identical to the buckshot. and arent as grippy in mud etc as the bighorn.

Re: maxxis buck shot or big horn
I would say have a look at Kumho Kl71 as well, i had 33 wore awesome so did my mates 31s.
They a good price and i never got stuck with them, only reason im looking at cooper is cause they arent bringing much 35" tyres in this year.
They awesome cause they multi directional, so if you get stuck going forward (what I found) was they always get u out of shit when you hook reverse!

Re: maxxis buck shot or big horn
might have a look at them.my m8 wants to get a set of buck shots iswel but i want to find out more befor i buy something
Re: maxxis buck shot or big horn
KL71 have been the worst wearing tyre we have used on work utes. Great off road, but getting 23-35km out of them.
I'd have no problem using them as a second set though

Mate paid 1200 for tyres and rims in 31inch down here in chch.
Try emailing this guy he does pretty good deals

One thing with Kl71 they do have a 60000km warrenty on them if your not happy
