Now have the new st maxx's on a triton. Have been terrible from day one. Squirm around on dry pavement. Wander all over the place. Braking squirms around. Some uneven wear (scalloping) after 10 000kms. Noisey. As for wet weather handling, absolutely terrible. Anything resembling a medium pace brings on understeer with no throttle or oversteer with throttle. Braking is woeful.
Offroad, nothing special. Really have to drop the pressures down to get any real grip out of them.
Worse than any muddy I have ever had. Leave that really bad being ripped off feeling.
I think you describing a Triton not the tyres...
Mine have done 30,000 now with NO uneven wear! Yes they are noisy - there chunky so you put up with that. Wet dry whatever they are fantastic on or off road.
I haven't rotated mine at all
fronts are now nearly 50% rears 75% will rotate them this weekend + can't see why they won't last till 80,000 or at least very near. Not too bad for what they are if you ask me!
They aren't a muddy which it seems your trying to compare them too, just aggressive A/T. That said, they keep up with the muddys just fine!
Sorry, just couldn't leave this post alone when I know what your saying is wrong!

- although I wouldn't have described them as noisy
2004 tray back cruiser (4.2 turbo)
Carrying 500kg of tools.
50/60000 kms per year
2008 tray back cruiser (V8 Turbo)
carrying 200 kgs of whatever and towing 1.8 tonne trailer
70/80000 kms per year
2009 tray back cruiser (v8 Turbo)
carrying 200 kgs of whatever and towing 1.8 tonne trailer
70/80000 kms per year
All vehicles suffered as above. Tyres started blowing at 50000 km's
Tyre pressures were always 40psi front and rear when loaded. All trucks had new tyres fitted at 60000 km as they became unsafe to tow a trailer especially in the wet.
So not just a Triton problem.
