Have you considered Maxxis?
They get really good reviews, maybe GarrethG can comment as he loved them, and the 764 is priced better than the STmaxx

The speed rating of the Maxxis puts me off, not that I’m speed freak but a max of 130 km/h ???
Its nice to hear all the opinions and maybe all of us can learn from this thread.

Flex is overrated
As dit spoed is wat ju wil hê op mud terrain, is jou keuses maar beperk. Dink dit is seker net die bf baja mt wat 190 rated is. Maar teen R13000 per band, is hulle bietjie duur. Maar ek moet sê, dit is n baie nice band, en ek het nog nooit n debeat gehad, al gaan ek af na 0.3 bar.
Al probleem, hul sidewalls bietjie hard, sukkel om lekker bol te maak in sand

Sorry my mistake, I maybe got confused with older Bighorns. The kumho kl71 is also nice. Not sure if I want to go for a full on Mud tyre for a daily driver. The hybrid design of the ST Maxx and Mickeys are the way I’m think of going. On my Hilux the StMaxx tyres outlast any other brand that I have tried by a long shot.

The STmaxx is a very aggressive A/T if you want to compare it to A/T but a quick inspection of the tread puts it right up there with other M/T tyres.XJ Junkie wrote:STMaxx is an off-road bias AT, not a MT.

I was told my ST Maxx is 60% AT, 40% Mud - whatever that means.
But basically an AT/Mud hybrid...

I did AD, but I can't comment as Fearless & I were terrible, so the tyres remained within their limits.
I've done the Sand at Waterford Northern Cape & if you go down to 0.6 (hot) they are fine... did not feel the tyres were an issue...
But as I say, a D-4D can't push an ST Maxx near it's limits on sand...

Plenty guys run STMaxx in sand & they work well. Much better than a regular ATPine wrote:Manny have you used your St Maxx in sand or dunes and what was your expieriance with them?
