These really are good tyres. I've run them for just over a year and a half. I really, really like them. Not a single puncture and I wheel a lot. I don't hold back on the rough stuff and they have eaten everything I have thrown at them. I believe they were Australia's offfroad tyre of the year last year.

Dankie Tinus!

Any of you have experience with the M8060 Trepador Extreme? Ant, did you look at these before the Razr?

Just too expensive John. Not practical for General driving, but brilliant offroad.

Tinus ons moet praat oor n stel 40" Trepadors of Creepy Crawlers. Ek was nog nooit iemand "sane" besluite maak nie... Sal bietjie hulle rim sizes online kyk. Maar 15", anders 16", anders 17".

40" klink na n beter opsie as regear vir die Cummins

Thanks for your help with getting the Maxxis Razr MT's Tinus. Although still early days I am so far hugely impressed by it's perfomance, on and offroad. Just did a 4700km trip with about 3200 dirt/offroad. Tyres are way more silent on tar as oppose to the BF and Cooper MT's. Drove for 10 days on between 1.3 and 1.5 bar and took whatever it was very well. Yes somewhat expensive but so far worth every cent.

Although I still had some thread on the Coopers I had what looked like a sidewall cut that appeared on 3 of them within a span of 4 months. It seems like it is just the outer layer but for peace of mind I replaced them with the Maxxis. I also read somewhere else about the same thing happening to quite a few Cooper owners.

The only issue I had with the Maxxis is that when you turn sharply and with the tyre flexing it caught on the mudguard - still not totally fixed but with the help of a grinder it was made better and will be solved when I get a chance in the next few days.
