>Handle on Road? Excellent road grip, quieter than stock Bridgestone Dueler H/T. Good wet weather handling. Resists tyre spin. Very bump absorbent on stock 16*7 rims @ 38psi. Pliable sidewall reduces sudden cornering ability. LT version might fix that.

>Price per Tyre? Unsure of retail price
>Wear and Tear? Fairly soft compound rubber. Travelled 3000 km and rears have only just started to show more wear than the fronts. No chips or broken tread. Would probably get 60-80K km.
>Would you buy again? Yes. Very comfortable and easy to fit and balance.

Am I right in thinking a lot of this info is not really useful unless you include your suspension mods. I have put a deposit on an my2014 and I am positove a lot of the tyre sizes quoted will not fit without serious modifications? (Thus voiding warranty)
For the record I have ran bfg km2's, simex centerpedes, bfg at's, cooper at's and silverstone mt117 extremes (simex ripoffs) on previous vehicles in much larger sizes than I am going to get away with in my new bus I have ran 2 sets most recently. bfg at's over summer and simex pedes during hunting season.
I plan to run the OE duellers until I get a spare set of wheels and get bfg km2's over winter. Anyone with suggestions of where/how to get spare wheels that will fit the newie cheap in SE Melb much appreciated.

Get a lift mate and you can fitt up to 33s
Stock suspension don't last long and seriously
Just don't cut it if your serious about your fourby....
I guess why people are telling you to read the posts is that there is so
Many choices and variables with setting up your rig.
Tires were not my first choice in mods either..
Egr block
On board air
Air cleaner
Catch can
Canopy
Bash plates
2"lift
Bulbar
Rear bar
Tyres.......<-----------
2nd set of Rims +muddys
snorkel
Side rails
Canopy draws
Ext....if you get what I mean...
Each to his own
As fridgie said telling the older well established triton gurus
To suck eggs certainly won't get you help in a hurry...
After all we have made all the mistakes and all you have to do is read up and come to your own informed decision.....or ask researched questions...
That's what i did...and that's why tyres were way down the list....

Toyo deal of buy 4 and get 5th free was too good to pass.
Will be driving from Townsville to Toowoomba tomorrow so that will be a good test for highway use.
Hopefully they perform well, they look good for an A/T.

Brand? Maxxis Bighorn 764
Style? all muddy baby.
Handle on Road? (Grip/noise) So far grip is excellent... left my old 751's for dead... on every type of terrain! a little noisy, especially low speed or going around corners, but that's muddies. when i first started driving on them the day i got them id forgotten what it was like driving muddies all the time and it felt like as i was driving i could feel the road tearing up, leaving rubble behind. stupid to think i know but the feel of the traction was incredible. even in the wet these are much better than my old 751's.
Handle off road? (Grip/Noise) exceptional!!! now i just 'point and shoot' so to speak. In the mud im going places in 2 high where before I needed 4 low. nice feeling not slipping and sliding around corners in the mud. lol. yet to try on sand and snow.
Price per tyre? (if you want) maxxis state $364/tyre is full retail. Got quoted $305.
Wear & Tear? (how are they wearing) Too early to tell.
Ill update this further in another 10 000 kms to see how they are going.
So after 5000 kms what can i add...
well best on road pressure is 40 psi.
off road 25 psi pretty much does it.
the traction offroad is awesome, just pure awesome. i would love to test them against the km2.
on road at optimum pressure- a little bumpy (more so again when roads are bumpy, broken) but otherwise good, good steering, light dull hum on the roads- however going slow and around corners you hear them pretty well.
these still have more traction on road in the wet than the old 751's.
under dry breaking they are about the same as the old 751's.
under breaking in the wet these really amazed me. unladed, sudden stop at like 40 km's/hr (standard break lines) and these really impressed me. no squishing, squeling or anything. just stopped.
on road pressures on corrogated, unsealed road it felt a little skittish but thats because I was travelling to fast and i reckon the pressures were too high for the road.
still impressed.
