255/85R16 Maxxis Bighorn - 6 off

I've got a set of 255/85R16(33.3" tall) Maxxis Bighorns.

They have all done about 6000km, 11.5-13mm tread left. No punctures.

New price according to cheaptyres.co.za is R2010 each, i.e. R12 060 for the set.

I want R8000 for the set, o.n.o.

Reason for selling:
They were fitted to my Triton, but I'm selling it with standard size tyres, and my next vehicle will get bigger tyres.

Here they are fitted to my Triton

I never would have thought those would fit on a Triton, jeepers!

Nope, only removed the mudflaps, but those I took off the week I got the bakkie.

No suspension lift, no body lift, no cutting, no hammering, no adjustments.

Hi Guys

I saw these tyres in action at Brakkeduine during December and they are truly awesome! :thumbup:
The floating capability on sand is incredible!
If my 4.8 did not warrant something slightly larger (as in 265/85/16 or 275/85/16 - tyre sizes not available), I would seriously consider them.

I suspect that they will be great on a 4.2 or 4.5 or even the diesels, but you may need to change final drive to compensate for 33.3" of tyre!

Worth investigating if you travel through a lot of sand or need clearance for mud etc.
