Mud milage

Post by Sausage »

Afternoon all

just wondering what sort of milage people get with mud's im looking at Maxxis bighorns or buckshots, so anything simillar would be on a 95 surf so not a huge wagon. any ball park figures would be great

cheers

dont listen to coxsy, he went out and paid lots of money for what some consider to be a shitty mud tyre that doesnt last on the road


me on the other hand, I went for the cheapest ones I could lay my hands on...............

Nankang Mudstars

also out in the market as ................

Buckshot Mudders or Maxxis Mudders

mine have done around 30-40K and are not even half worn. The edges are starting to show slight signs of rounding, but otherwise they are mint.

been on 2 different vehicles, BJ74 and 80 Series cruiser's.

use the search function as these tyres have been thrashed out before in a few threads now
80 Series on 35" creepies, manual with twin factory lockers.
