I fitted these to a Landcruiser 300 series, based on your previous review. I am really pleased with the tyres so far, nice and quiet and the ride is excellent.
Hi Matt. Once again another thoughtful, useful video. Well done. I have run the same tyres on my Cruiser for over 10000kms. Mainly in Vic high country. I agree that they are excellent in a variety of surfaces. What I like most about them is that they are grippy, particularly in the wet, on those rainy Melbourne roads. I can depend on them to stop my vehicle when I need to. Not great in mud, but most ATs struggle with mud, so winching is going to be necessary sometimes. If people are considering getting the Maxxis ATs, I certainly recommend them.
I've been running the Faulkin at wildpeak and quiet on the road and great in the wet on road and off road been good too. Could be better off road but then might need muddies..
Love them, 4 vehicles with them at various km’s and they are amazing. I fitted a set because I needed to and after 10k driving I ditched 3 vehicles with BFG’s and fitted all three with the Maxxis AT. I just got a good friend of mine on a set in Texas USA he could not believe the improvement. Good video Thanx Johnny
Great video, I am currently running the same Maxxis AT on the Challenger and so is the Other one. We absolutely love these tyres. I came from the BFG KM2's and used to have the BFG KO2's which were dangerous on the Challenger, We have since put them on the Pajero and the wife has liked them but much prefers the Maxxis as well. We have noticed the wear is almost the same as the BFGs but have a softer compound. The silence is amazing, no more humming from both the KM2s and KO2s. They are perfect.
Got these in 265/70/17 on my Ranger. Had them for 3 years and just ticked over 50,000km and couldn't be happier with them. If I wanted to run them down to the minimum legal tread depth I'll get well over 100,000km out of them (that's based on doing regular 5 tyre rotations). Probably won't let them get that low in tread depth though. In reality I'd expect I'll get maybe 80,000-90,000km of out them, and I'm more than happy with that. They haven't been used off road anywhere near as much as I'd like but when I have done they have been fantastic. A little firmer in the side wall than my previous tyres so I've got to drop the pressures a little lower that's not a negative, it's just that every tyre is different. On road handling is also good. Sure, I can get them slipping in the wet, but they do it predictably and don't just let go. I also tow a 3T caravan and run the rears at around 55psi for that and they manage that without issues as well. All in all they are good all round tyre, and I'd certainly have another set.
I contacted the maxxis distributor when I bought some for my fortuner. I was contacted by an engineer how took some details such as weight and recommended 35psi all round. The tyre place had them at 40!
Thank you Matt , for you full report on the tyres , detailed , and you say it as it is , thank you , I’m looking to replace the tyres on my recently bought GU patrol , always had all terrains , I will look at them more closely, Brian
Great video! I've driven over 7000 km on the same tyre model for my Patrol ZD30, and they've worn, on average, just over 1 mm (measured just now). Although my usage currently includes a lot of city driving, I'm pleased with their durability. I agree with everything you mentioned and appreciate the expected longevity. And yes, I should rotate them more often... I purchased them based on your previous video. Great job!
Great review, thanks Matt! I just installed a set on my lifted F-150 and I live in Canada with winter approaching very soon, hopefully they will perform decent in the snow...
I had a set of Co*&%4# AT’s years ago that threw a wall of rocks at the van every chance they got. I cannot imagine these will throw up more stones than them. A great day for all when they delaminated. Thank you for a very informative tyre review. My new Y62 should arrive this week and these will be the new shoes.
Been running these for around 30k, flogged up and down the coast.. Roads, mud, sand you name it... honestly, the only tyre id replace with another same set.. quality product.
I'm running these on a modified GWM Canon in 32", 18000km and 1mm wear, even on all tyres and even across the tread, can't fault them. Running 36psi, and the car is lifted 50mm and has proper alignment and drives dead straight. Wet weather is excellent, better by some margin than the BFG K02 I had on my last 4WD, will see how they go after 30k that is were most AT start to get loud and stop working in the wet.
I've been running them for 28k km on my Triton (265/75R16, 31.6"), and so far I'm very happy with them. It's my daily driver, and I'm setting it up for a little bit of everything off-road (leaning more towards touring). As you mentioned, they're not the best tyre in mud, but that's just a part of running ATs, and the benefits for on-road handling make up for it in my mind. I will probably replace them with a different hybrid/aggressive AT when they're done, but that's just because I want to try multiple options, not because of the tyre itself.
I’m running these on my Escalade for on road. Off-road desert terrain. Some mudding. And snow use. 20,000 miles on them no issues. Very happy with them.
I beat the hell Out of my max's tires on my side by side. I've taken it through the Rubicon. And those tires have held up really well. I think i'm convinced that I will buy these for my truck
I've been running a set of Hifly ATs for the last couple of years on my GQ Patrol. They've worn fairly well except for the left front and that was because of alignment issues. They've done quite well on the bad road over here. I'd buy another set, but they're no longer available here.
Great review, im running east same tyre 285 75 16 on my 105 petrol 2” lift 3T average weight constant 4wd (haven’t converted yet to a part time spool). I have just clicked over 40K km on mine and im sitting at 8mm tread depth rotated and balanced twice only since putting them on (unfortunately i was lazy as well with spare so its new at 12mm) tread wear is even across all 4 tyres, i run them generally at 35 psi for on road front & rear. So im getting 1mm wear per 10,000km not as much aggressive wheeling as yours at this stage.
@@MadMatt4WD yeah shamefully like I stated a lot less off road use though. 😞 im generally happy with them and do recommend them to people I’ve got a lap planned in 2025 so will get a new set for that i reckon, just cant justify the $$ for the KO2s these day
I'm running the MAXXIS RAZOR MTs at moment and I can't fault them either they have a little road noise but that doesn't bother me I'm happy with the MAXXIS brand so far 👍🏻
I went from AT to MT. I'm not 100% sure if it impacted fuel economy, but driving them has made me feel more secure in especially muddy situations. In my area they're lots of situations where you see grass, but in reality it's a mud pool. So it feel safer. On all other areas, even in sandy deserts, they have done above expectations. I wouldn't go back to AT anymore unless i would do more on-road than i do now (65/35).
@@QnA22 I actually got a set of RAZR MTs too a couple of days ago, they have a hum on the highway but nothing too serious, they seem to be very good on the mountain. Haven't had the chance to put them through serious mud but they seem rather gnarly compared to the KM3s & STT PROs.
I’ve been running these on my 200 series and very happy with them. I’ve been doing a 5 wheel rotation since I got them. Just about to roll over 100,000km and my mechanic thinks They’ll get to 110,000km before replacing. I’ll be getting another set. Performance has been and remains excellent. No punctures yet.
35psi is very common for land cruisers, 4runners , fj cruisers, highlanders, Tacomas tires wear pretty good when you keep them at standred 35 psi especially for a 35 inch tire down to a 30 inch tire I agree with you good video mate
They are a good solid tyre for your use my second choice I run the nitto trailgrappler they do tax the fuel but my vehicle is only used for outback travel never have any tyre issues and extremely hard wearing enjoy
I really like them, excellent on and off road. Bag out well for slow 4WDing and perform very well around town, in the wet, and while towing our camper trailer. Highly recommend.
I have a set of these on my 2015 Silverado in 275/60/20 (33 1/2 in) and i love these tires. I have always enjoyed Maxxis tires growing up riding dirtbikes and i was very surprised how Maxxis was never a household name in the USA when it comes to automotive tires unlike in Asia and Oceania. Most of my driving is done on the highway but i occasionally go offroad and cannot say anything negative about them so far! The onroad handling is great and i have never had an issue while driving in muddy, wet, or snowy conditions. They seem to be wearing well after 10k miles, for the money i think they are a great purchase for someone who wants an all around tire that looks aggressive but not to the point where it compromises ride quality.
Gday Matt Great info in this video. Thanks for putting my mind at ease re tyre pressure. All the tyre shops say to run 40psi but I felt it ran a bit harsh on road so I run 34-36 and it is heaps smoother and has not effected tyre wear. Running the wild peaks A/T for 30k now on a 100 series and down about 3mm. (I am including the spare in the rotation though). I feel that you get what you pay for. All the better brands around $380 to$420 with give a good run. Happy trails.👍
Weighing up if I should move to the Razar AT, I currently run Maxxis 711 ATs. Have done 79000km and tyres are down from 10mm of tread to 5mm currently. I mainly travel on sealed roads and sand / gravel, nothing really hard core.
On my Land Rover (it's and old 'un, short-wheelbase), with a GVM of 2120 kg (4674 lb) with max. axle loads of 930 kg (2050 lb) on the front, and 1190 kg (2624 lb) on the rear, I run 25 psi (1.7 bar) on the front, and 30 psi (2.1 bar) on the rear fully laden for on-road use, 16 psi (1.1 bar) on the front, and 20 psi (1.4 bar) on the rear for tracks and sand up to 40 mph (65 km/h), and 9 psi (0.6 bar) on the front, and 10 psi (0.7 bar) on the rear for emergency use up to 12 mph (20 km/h). For light load use, defined by Land Rover as a max. rear axle load of 900 kg (1984 lb), I use 25 psi (1.7 bar) front and rear fully laden for on-road use, 16 psi (1.1 bar) front and rear for tracks and sand up to 40 mph (65 km/h), and 9 psi (0.6 bar) front rear for emergency use up to 12 mph (20 km/h). Michelin state a minimum pressure of 9 psi (0.6 bar) for all axle loads below 1100 kg (2425 lb) when at emergency pressures with my tyres - Michelin 4x4-O/R 7.50 R16 XZL 10PR, so I never go below that. I've come to the conclusion Michelin know far more about tyres than I do. All of these pressures are based upon Michelin's tyre pressure tables, and actually marry up to Land Rover's recommended on-road pressures for the same size tyres on my vehicle.
I got new tyres on my 80 15k ago. Couldn’t get the Maxxis in time. Had to revert to the BFs. I’ll be interested to se how they go around 70-75k as the BFs get hard and tend to slip on the road when wet. Good to see what you think. I’m seeing a lot more of them rolling around. Keep up the great work Matt. 👏👏👏
Yes, I just ran through the life of my K02's and am now ready for new tyres. I have to say, the K02's are almost dangerous on wet pavement. There has been a few time where I almost swapped out my tyres early just for safety reasons. My mechanic runs these Maxxis (which I never head of before) on his 2007 Ranger and he swears by them and it's why I'm watching this video :). A good friend of mine has the Falcon Wildpeaks AT3 on his brand-new Ranger and he swears the them as well. Too many choices but I will never go back to the KO's.
I would like to know how true to size they are. It's a strange phenomenon how tyre manufacturers stamp sizes on the side wall and are not accurate and different from each manufacturer.
Hi Matt Thx 4 the review, I just brought these so I guess we will see hey. I’d say 90% will be off road use, i don’t live in a high rain region So really mud won’t been seen much at all. Fingers crossed I chose well. Thx again cheers
Lovely Ep and they look a good tyre, Ive run Vitora Country life 265/75 x 16s ATs on my older 1990- 1HZ n/a 80 series this time , cost me $200 a tyre F&B. They have done 65,000ks and due to be changed soon, Half of which is either towing my 5m tinny 1,49 ton on fishing trips up north, Which I am just back from nearly did 11,000ks on this trip from Cooroy to Nhulunbuy and around up to Weipa and back to Cooroy, Plus I tow our 1983 windup Jayco on Fam trips to been great tyres for the coin I payed,
Hi im trying to compare these with BF Goodrich Ko2, Ko3 and Radar Renegade RT+. These are ones standing out in my research here in SA. Guys are recommending this tyre but the Ko2 and Ko3 comes standard on the Ranger Raptors and have a good name. I have the previous gen Raptor and im happy with the ko2s. The renegades have thrown a spanner in the works they are more cost effective. They have a nice look and they hybrid. Considering them as ive seen a few vehicles have them. They seem to be recommended as a inexpensive tyre rather than a cheap tyre. Any advice? Im mostly an onroad user but i want to be ready for offroad as well. Mostly rocky and gravel but sand as well for future outrides.
Running these for the last 60000k. They're now showing signs of getting slippery in the wet. I'll keep an eye on them, but it looks like I'll be replacing them for safety before the tread wears out.
Great video! I'm running Wild Peak AT3's on my Highlux and at nearly 3 years, I'm still happy with them! I rotate them regularly and run around 38-40 psi on road as it's quite heavy. Never had a puncture either! Would I run them again on my vehicle, definitely a YES.
Здравствуйте, хотел бы узнать шинар в размерах 285 75 R16, какое давления в шинах качаете и на каких дорожных покрытия и доскольки пускали давление в шинах.
If you could let the maxxis reps know that if they can bring in the AT811 with the 12 ply sidewalls in a 37x12.50r17 it would be great. They list it on their website, but no stock in country. All the guys who run light trucks with super singles would be very appreciative, since there is very few tyre options with weight rating of above 124
Hey Mitch, also looking at doing the same with the 37” Maxxis on a LT. Currently in the process of switching over my work fleet to AT811, from Coopers.
Running razors now on my work ute on the mines bloody good tyre highly recommend driving on hard rock pit floors stand up to the task strong sidewall For the price im not to fussed as i go for a tyre that is strong and not puncture easy and these do that job mint Before that had bfgoodrich at they were good but useless when muddy and slippery as when wet and had to drop the tyres pressures other puncture very easily
Seriously looking at a set of these A/T's for an Aussielap with the van, only possible downside I can envision will likely be the stone throw into that van behind.. Damned if you do (stones) damned if you don't (road tyres off road?)
Hey Matt I love you reviews on the Maxxi tyres, and you seem pretty sold on them. I was just wondering I have a 200 Series Land Cruiser and looking for a hybrid or aggressive A/T tyres for my car. Price isn’t a factor just looking for Something all rounded that the wife can use as a daily driver and I can hit hard tracks with the boys on the weekend. Is there anything you would recommend? Or you really sold on these Maxxis A/T? Cheers
I’m very happy with the Maxxis but if I wasn’t I’d tell you. That’s the deal I have with them that I can be honest. I’m still very happy with the ATs and surprised how well they go for an At. Watch this Sundays video to see how they perform. The other option is to run two sets of tyres and wheels.
@@MadMatt4WD Awesome mate that’s made me very comfortable in my decision to run these tyres. Cheers mate looking forward to seeing the new video. Thanks again 👍🏽
Mine have worn 5mm in 15000ks and i have rotated them, have a mate with a hilux who got 30,000ks out of them before they were 2mm tread depth, so i havent been super happy with them
@@maxratzlaff8333 that’s really bad wear, id really make sure your front & rear wheel alignments are within spec my cruiser is often at 3500kg and im sitting at 8mm still on tyres all same wear after 40k km.
@MadMatt4WD I just accepted that one can only control fuel economy with the foot... It is very difficultt to compare fuel econojy wuth tyres on one vehicle. Best is to have both same exact vehicles and then to same exact trips which is also not easy because even the driver weight difference have an impact ;) But not too serious on this, the foot is my best control...
I have a hunch the falken wildpeak at4w are the ones to look out for .. once they hit Aussies shores .. or given shipping today being abysmal .. maybe we will never see the falken wildpeak gen 4's this side of 2024... lol we are like Africa !! But like any 4weeling nut we love the tire or tyre debate .. and the next best thing on the horizon.
Great for grip and for lasting a long time but that is where the good ends as they will suck the power out off your ute and drain your fuel an extra 100km. I had Pirelli Scorpions before getting RAZR AT811 and consistently got 8l per 100km, giving me a range off over 800km, but with the RAZR AT811 I am struggling to get under 10l per 100km and my fuel tank range has been cut to just over 700km. The tyre size and working pressures I am running are the same on both the Pirelli and the Maxxis so there should be no difference in fuel economy or power drop and the difference was instant the second I pulled out the tyre shop, If I had changed tyre size then I would expect the change. The ride comfort is shocking at best as the Pirellis were smooth and absorbed the bumps on the rough country roads but the RAZR AT811 are like riding a jackhammer.
You’re gonna have blokes with pitchforks and fire in your front yard for suggesting a sensible pressure like 36-37 psi for a vehicle of around the weight of yours, Matt 😂 I’ve always thought the tyre shops and service departments spit out the good ol’ “40 psi mate” because they know the vast majority of people never check their tyre pressures. I like to follow the hot tyre pressure test of a 4-6 psi increase from cold pressures after driving at highway speed for an hour.
Your review Matt is one of the more comprehensive and non biased but takes into considerations a lot of variables which you note, so many tyre reviews do not do this.Tyre reviews by 4WD-ers are some of the most ridiculous nonsensical things in the industry. What I mean is that it is so hard to compare yet people come up with hard conclusions so easily. Like "they're bad in the wet, they are less grippy off road, one punctures more easily", fact is unless you are testing these theories on exact seam vehicle, exact driving style, exact road, exact weight, exact pressures, exact terrain, exact puncture objects you just can't come up with hard conclusions. It's the basics basics of running an experiment and testing a theory.
The legal tyre tread depth for cars in the UK and Europe is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, according to law. ... Tyre and safety experts believe the 1.6mm legal minimum is insufficient to guarantee safety - most recommend a minimum tread depth of 3mm for tyre replacement. The difference in wet braking distance between a tyre worn to 3mm and one worn to 1.6mm can be as much as 44%. --- On my Continental premium contact 6, you have wear indicators for both wet grip 3mm, and the legal 1.6 mm.
My Experience - very disappointed with the mileage. . Fitted from new to our 2021 DMAX Dual cab ute, as an Alternative to the Mickey ATZ which were not available at the time. At 50,000 klm they are on the tread wear indicators, despite regularly checking pressures, alignment , rotation etc. . Wet weather performance is dismal, particularly when unladen. Off road they are adequate, and have performed well in sand and rocky tracks, beach Vic High country. etc. Typically we get upwards of 80K out of a set of tyres , so 50K is very disappointing.
We got 90k out of the maxxis razr MT772 mine rated tyre , haven't staked one yet and we go to some really unforgiving places in Australia, also really good on the tarmac and not noisy
@@MadMatt4WD his N80 dual cab hilux has an aluminium canopy and GVM upgrade, good suspension. I have 4wded with him numerous times and he has run my suggested tyre pressures, we have done some semi serious stuff but not tyre destroying stuff, everyone else's tyres are fine. Maybe he has run 2wd in some places and loaded up the tyres too much, i don't know. I just don't know of anything being done wrong. Simpler to just suggest he doesn't get them again. They aren't a Tier 1 tyre company. They are a cheaper tyre for a reason. Another mate got the previous maxxis AT tyres cheap through work but said they wore quickly.
@@rhetth-s8082 yeah wow. With so many people having a good run with these tyres I can't help but feel there's something else contributing to your mate's issues. Anyway, I'm not here to defend Maxxis. I trust it was only the tyre that got hurt.
I have razr at's on my dmax they're 3/4 worn at 26000 km & I'm expecting to only get about 30000 km out of them. They're good on road, nothing special off road.
r.e the razr at's, I was talking to a local tyre distributor this morning & he's had no end of trouble with these tyres, customer complaints & returns due to poor mileage & tread degradation. Mine are starting to lose chunks off the tread blocks, most likely from the 2km of gravel road I drive daily, at 26-27000 km.
@@oz327 yeah right. I guess a tyre shop would see a lot more than I ever will. I’ve just had a good run with them so far. That’s all I can be honest about.
@MadMatt4WD My brothers mate like you can't fault them, maybe mine were from a bad batch. They were made in Thailand. Apparently, they are manufactured in multiple countries, so maybe there is a difference in quality depending on where they're made.
I have a set on my GU Wagon, on road nice ride quality, off road also great, Ive done 60tho klms so far. My only complaint is the price which has gone up over the past couple of years.
@MadMatt4WD yeah I'm looking at replacing them soon as they are nearly at the minimum tread depth, but I will have to fork out an extra 500 bucks from when I bought em 3 years ago as the price has gone up $100 per tyre, but ahh well I guess if you want quality then ya gotta stump the extra dollarie-doos for it.
@@aussieausdeutschland4245 Yeah tyres are expensive and nothing worse than buying a tyre that's crap. When I find a good tyre I do like to stick with it for as long as I can.

Maxis RAZR tires are my favorite tires. I'm running MT's out here in the California/Arizona harsh deserts. Hooked on Maxxis tires!
Good review Matt - I have these on my 100 series, they are going really well so far... good touring/offroad tyre I think.
I was tossing up between Falken's and Razor's. Thinking Razor's now as I understand they have a better built sidewall. Cheers.
I beat the hell Out of my max's tires on my side by side. I've taken it through the Rubicon. And those tires have held up really well. I think i'm convinced that I will buy these for my truck
I've done 25000km on my Wild peaks and I bloody love them, looking forward to the AT4w's coming out
I've got these tyres, and hell they do make a difference and never had any dramas when in bush.
I have these on my FJ, pretty happy with them, road force balance they run great.
I've been running a set of Hifly ATs for the last couple of years on my GQ Patrol. They've worn fairly well except for the left front and that was because of alignment issues. They've done quite well on the bad road over here. I'd buy another set, but they're no longer available here.
Great review, im running east same tyre 285 75 16 on my 105 petrol 2” lift 3T average weight constant 4wd (haven’t converted yet to a part time spool). I have just clicked over 40K km on mine and im sitting at 8mm tread depth rotated and balanced twice only since putting them on (unfortunately i was lazy as well with spare so its new at 12mm) tread wear is even across all 4 tyres, i run them generally at 35 psi for on road front & rear. So im getting 1mm wear per 10,000km not as much aggressive wheeling as yours at this stage.
That’s a really cool comparison to mine. Thanks.
@@MadMatt4WD yeah shamefully like I stated a lot less off road use though. 😞 im generally happy with them and do recommend them to people I’ve got a lap planned in 2025 so will get a new set for that i reckon, just cant justify the $$ for the KO2s these day
What a great review mate. Excellent job.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm running the MAXXIS RAZOR MTs at moment and I can't fault them either they have a little road noise but that doesn't bother me I'm happy with the MAXXIS brand so far 👍🏻
I have the MTs on the F250 and they’re surprisingly quite for a mud tyre.
Can't decide between the at and mt for a Navara, currently running bfg ko2s
I went from AT to MT. I'm not 100% sure if it impacted fuel economy, but driving them has made me feel more secure in especially muddy situations. In my area they're lots of situations where you see grass, but in reality it's a mud pool. So it feel safer. On all other areas, even in sandy deserts, they have done above expectations. I wouldn't go back to AT anymore unless i would do more on-road than i do now (65/35).
@@QnA22 I actually got a set of RAZR MTs too a couple of days ago, they have a hum on the highway but nothing too serious, they seem to be very good on the mountain. Haven't had the chance to put them through serious mud but they seem rather gnarly compared to the KM3s & STT PROs.
@@jimk8592 I have the hum too, but only on those old style, very closed up, tarmac. Newer compounds have no hum, and are barely audible in the cabin.
I’ve been running these on my 200 series and very happy with them. I’ve been doing a 5 wheel rotation since I got them. Just about to roll over 100,000km and my mechanic thinks They’ll get to 110,000km before replacing. I’ll be getting another set. Performance has been and remains excellent. No punctures yet.
That’s impresive
35psi is very common for land cruisers, 4runners , fj cruisers, highlanders, Tacomas tires wear pretty good when you keep them at standred 35 psi especially for a 35 inch tire down to a 30 inch tire I agree with you good video mate
Here in Oz there’s a lot of people who think 40psi is the best number.
@@MadMatt4WD wow Really 40 is Kinda High Even for street Driving Unless they were 12 ply tires that seems pretty high
@@AntonioClaudioMichael yeah it’s way to high but so many just start there and that’s front and rear.
@@MadMatt4WD yikes Front and Rear Not good well i guess everyone needs a starting point right don't mean it's good or right
They are a good solid tyre for your use my second choice I run the nitto trailgrappler they do tax the fuel but my vehicle is only used for outback travel never have any tyre issues and extremely hard wearing enjoy
Right on for giving a no BS review of a sponsored/semi sponsored product. They are on the list for next fall snow tire shopping.
I just put them on my F150. Just got a foot of snow in Reno Nevada they are awesome. I run 35 front 30 rear
I’m on my second set, first set 73,xxx k’s out of my first. Such a great tyre, recommend these to anyone!
I really like them, excellent on and off road. Bag out well for slow 4WDing and perform very well around town, in the wet, and while towing our camper trailer. Highly recommend.
I have a set of these on my 2015 Silverado in 275/60/20 (33 1/2 in) and i love these tires. I have always enjoyed Maxxis tires growing up riding dirtbikes and i was very surprised how Maxxis was never a household name in the USA when it comes to automotive tires unlike in Asia and Oceania. Most of my driving is done on the highway but i occasionally go offroad and cannot say anything negative about them so far! The onroad handling is great and i have never had an issue while driving in muddy, wet, or snowy conditions. They seem to be wearing well after 10k miles, for the money i think they are a great purchase for someone who wants an all around tire that looks aggressive but not to the point where it compromises ride quality.
That’s a fair summery. Thanks.
Gday Matt
Great info in this video.
Thanks for putting my mind at ease re tyre pressure. All the tyre shops say to run 40psi but I felt it ran a bit harsh on road so I run 34-36 and it is heaps smoother and has not effected tyre wear. Running the wild peaks A/T for 30k now on a 100 series and down about 3mm. (I am including the spare in the rotation though).
I feel that you get what you pay for. All the better brands around $380 to$420 with give a good run.
Happy trails.👍
Weighing up if I should move to the Razar AT, I currently run Maxxis 711 ATs. Have done 79000km and tyres are down from 10mm of tread to 5mm currently. I mainly travel on sealed roads and sand / gravel, nothing really hard core.
On my Land Rover (it's and old 'un, short-wheelbase), with a GVM of 2120 kg (4674 lb) with max. axle loads of 930 kg (2050 lb) on the front, and 1190 kg (2624 lb) on the rear, I run 25 psi (1.7 bar) on the front, and 30 psi (2.1 bar) on the rear fully laden for on-road use, 16 psi (1.1 bar) on the front, and 20 psi (1.4 bar) on the rear for tracks and sand up to 40 mph (65 km/h), and 9 psi (0.6 bar) on the front, and 10 psi (0.7 bar) on the rear for emergency use up to 12 mph (20 km/h). For light load use, defined by Land Rover as a max. rear axle load of 900 kg (1984 lb), I use 25 psi (1.7 bar) front and rear fully laden for on-road use, 16 psi (1.1 bar) front and rear for tracks and sand up to 40 mph (65 km/h), and 9 psi (0.6 bar) front rear for emergency use up to 12 mph (20 km/h).
Michelin state a minimum pressure of 9 psi (0.6 bar) for all axle loads below 1100 kg (2425 lb) when at emergency pressures with my tyres - Michelin 4x4-O/R 7.50 R16 XZL 10PR, so I never go below that. I've come to the conclusion Michelin know far more about tyres than I do. All of these pressures are based upon Michelin's tyre pressure tables, and actually marry up to Land Rover's recommended on-road pressures for the same size tyres on my vehicle.
I got new tyres on my 80 15k ago. Couldn’t get the Maxxis in time. Had to revert to the BFs. I’ll be interested to se how they go around 70-75k as the BFs get hard and tend to slip on the road when wet.
Good to see what you think. I’m seeing a lot more of them rolling around. Keep up the great work Matt. 👏👏👏
Yes, I just ran through the life of my K02's and am now ready for new tyres. I have to say, the K02's are almost dangerous on wet pavement. There has been a few time where I almost swapped out my tyres early just for safety reasons. My mechanic runs these Maxxis (which I never head of before) on his 2007 Ranger and he swears by them and it's why I'm watching this video :). A good friend of mine has the Falcon Wildpeaks AT3 on his brand-new Ranger and he swears the them as well. Too many choices but I will never go back to the KO's.
I would like to know how true to size they are. It's a strange phenomenon how tyre manufacturers stamp sizes on the side wall and are not accurate and different from each manufacturer.
Yeah that would be interesting to know.
I have seen other youtubers say they weren't allowed to disclose the tru size of their sponsored tyres?? I wonder if this is true
Thank you Mr & Mrs MM. Cheers
Hi Matt
Thx 4 the review, I just brought these so I guess we will see hey.
I’d say 90% will be off road use, i don’t live in a high rain region
So really mud won’t been seen much at all.
Fingers crossed I chose well.
Thx again cheers
That’ll be really interesting to see how they go. Let me know in time what you thought.
@@MadMatt4WD will do, extremely quite on the bitumen so far day 1 big difference noted on brand new lol 😂
@@mrmum8445 Mine aren't noisy so far
I run alot of Goodyear tires and Nitto Tires
Good to know.
Its between these or the new Falken Wildpeak A/T4W for me
I swapped last year from BFG K02's which i found dangerous in the wet on bitumen or asphalt . Cant fault the Razr's
Lovely Ep and they look a good tyre, Ive run Vitora Country life 265/75 x 16s ATs on my older 1990- 1HZ n/a 80 series this time , cost me $200 a tyre F&B. They have done 65,000ks and due to be changed soon, Half of which is either towing my 5m tinny 1,49 ton on fishing trips up north, Which I am just back from nearly did 11,000ks on this trip from Cooroy to Nhulunbuy and around up to Weipa and back to Cooroy, Plus I tow our 1983 windup Jayco on Fam trips to been great tyres for the coin I payed,
That is excellent tire lift
Hi im trying to compare these with BF Goodrich Ko2, Ko3 and Radar Renegade RT+. These are ones standing out in my research here in SA. Guys are recommending this tyre but the Ko2 and Ko3 comes standard on the Ranger Raptors and have a good name. I have the previous gen Raptor and im happy with the ko2s. The renegades have thrown a spanner in the works they are more cost effective. They have a nice look and they hybrid. Considering them as ive seen a few vehicles have them. They seem to be recommended as a inexpensive tyre rather than a cheap tyre. Any advice?
Im mostly an onroad user but i want to be ready for offroad as well. Mostly rocky and gravel but sand as well for future outrides.
I’ve got no experience with those tyres. Sorry
Have the same tyres on my MU-X and have found them to be excellent
What size are you running?
@@TheHistoricalNow LT265/65R17
Running these for the last 60000k. They're now showing signs of getting slippery in the wet. I'll keep an eye on them, but it looks like I'll be replacing them for safety before the tread wears out.
I'm having some of these put on Thursday never ran them I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler 4 x 4
Love to hear your thoughts
@MadMatt4WD well iam getting the maxxes Ats or the All Terain
I think I’m going to run these next time. I’m currently running KM3s on my Jeep and I like them but I think I’ll go for ATs next time.
I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts when you do
Would you say they are more quite then the falken wild peaks ?
I can't comment as I've not run Falkens.
@@MadMatt4WD what about the Toyo at3?
Again I've not run them. @@chadsugden411
Great review Matt, except... How do they perform in the rain on wet bitumen??
No complaints
Are they available in the USA?
Yes.
Lake Havasu 🌞 Az USA
They are available in Utah.
Does Google work in the USA?
Great video!
I'm running Wild Peak AT3's on my Highlux and at nearly 3 years, I'm still happy with them!
I rotate them regularly and run around 38-40 psi on road as it's quite heavy.
Never had a puncture either!
Would I run them again on my vehicle, definitely a YES.
Thanks for the review. Do you have any experience with the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac? If so, how would you compare them to the Razr ATs?
I don't sorry
Yes they are i never air down i live in rural nevada over 50 years just keep my foot to rhe floor at 77 still 4wheelin
A few good years left yet ay. 🙃🙃
Здравствуйте, хотел бы узнать шинар в размерах 285 75 R16, какое давления в шинах качаете и на каких дорожных покрытия и доскольки пускали давление в шинах.
That’s a difficult question to answer. It depends on the weight of the car.
If you could let the maxxis reps know that if they can bring in the AT811 with the 12 ply sidewalls in a 37x12.50r17 it would be great. They list it on their website, but no stock in country. All the guys who run light trucks with super singles would be very appreciative, since there is very few tyre options with weight rating of above 124
Ok that’s interesting. I’ll pass it along. Light trucks as in 4wd canters and the likes?
Hey Mitch, also looking at doing the same with the 37” Maxxis on a LT. Currently in the process of switching over my work fleet to AT811, from Coopers.
I’ve bought a Navara PRO-4X. What would you recommend? I’ve looked at the RAZRS but been looking at others too
Well I like the razrs.
I really like mine!
Looking at these for Fortuners so research now my thing
Running razors now on my work ute on the mines bloody good tyre highly recommend driving on hard rock pit floors stand up to the task strong sidewall
For the price im not to fussed as i go for a tyre that is strong and not puncture easy and these do that job mint
Before that had bfgoodrich at they were good but useless when muddy and slippery as when wet and had to drop the tyres pressures other puncture very easily
Seriously looking at a set of these A/T's for an Aussielap with the van, only possible downside I can envision will likely be the stone throw into that van behind.. Damned if you do (stones) damned if you don't (road tyres off road?)
Get the rock tamers from Clearview.
Hey Matt
I love you reviews on the Maxxi tyres, and you seem pretty sold on them.
I was just wondering I have a 200 Series Land Cruiser and looking for a hybrid or aggressive A/T tyres for my car. Price isn’t a factor just looking for
Something all rounded that the wife can use as a daily driver and I can hit hard tracks with the boys on the weekend. Is there anything you would recommend? Or you really sold on these Maxxis A/T?
Cheers
I’m very happy with the Maxxis but if I wasn’t I’d tell you. That’s the deal I have with them that I can be honest. I’m still very happy with the ATs and surprised how well they go for an At. Watch this Sundays video to see how they perform. The other option is to run two sets of tyres and wheels.
@@MadMatt4WD
Awesome mate that’s made me very comfortable in my decision to run these tyres.
Cheers mate looking forward to seeing the new video.
Thanks again 👍🏽
Actually, This weeks video is on another topic I got my weeks. It will be in a fortnight. Sorry mate.
Mine have worn 5mm in 15000ks and i have rotated them, have a mate with a hilux who got 30,000ks out of them before they were 2mm tread depth, so i havent been super happy with them
My cruiser is around 3500kgs and rear heavy so I run 40 psi in the front and 44 in the rear, maybe I've been running to high pressure?
@@maxratzlaff8333 that’s really bad wear, id really make sure your front & rear wheel alignments are within spec my cruiser is often at 3500kg and im sitting at 8mm still on tyres all same wear after 40k km.
@@davedave5457 my alignment is bang on, had one recently, good to hear some people get long life out of them unfortunately I haven't
What rating and construction are the side walls and tread area on them ?
You’d have to look on the website for the type and size you want.
How are these coming along another year down the track
Yeah they’re about done but still hold the road well and no noise.
How have they been since
They’ve been great. They’re getting well worn now though.
Are the tires true to size? I've seen another reviewer saying the tire measure about 35" for a 37" tire.
I’ve not measured them but they’d have to be close to size.
Better than the Falken Wildpeak At3s?
I’ve got no idea. Never run Falken.
6:08 fuel economy is influenced by pressure as well and other factors like wind etc so necessarily the tyres fault but ok
Absolutely correct. I believe I was referring to the fuel economy compared to the old tyres.
@MadMatt4WD I just accepted that one can only control fuel economy with the foot... It is very difficultt to compare fuel econojy wuth tyres on one vehicle. Best is to have both same exact vehicles and then to same exact trips which is also not easy because even the driver weight difference have an impact ;)
But not too serious on this, the foot is my best control...
I have a hunch the falken wildpeak at4w are the ones to look out for .. once they hit Aussies shores .. or given shipping today being abysmal .. maybe we will never see the falken wildpeak gen 4's this side of 2024... lol we are like Africa !! But like any 4weeling nut we love the tire or tyre debate .. and the next best thing on the horizon.
Great for grip and for lasting a long time but that is where the good ends as they will suck the power out off your ute and drain your fuel an extra 100km. I had Pirelli Scorpions before getting RAZR AT811 and consistently got 8l per 100km, giving me a range off over 800km, but with the RAZR AT811 I am struggling to get under 10l per 100km and my fuel tank range has been cut to just over 700km. The tyre size and working pressures I am running are the same on both the Pirelli and the Maxxis so there should be no difference in fuel economy or power drop and the difference was instant the second I pulled out the tyre shop, If I had changed tyre size then I would expect the change. The ride comfort is shocking at best as the Pirellis were smooth and absorbed the bumps on the rough country roads but the RAZR AT811 are like riding a jackhammer.
That’s really interesting feedback. I’ve not noticed those issues. Mind you I’ve not run Scorpions
@@MadMatt4WD They are really good on fuel and grip but you only get about 50000km out of a set.
You’re gonna have blokes with pitchforks and fire in your front yard for suggesting a sensible pressure like 36-37 psi for a vehicle of around the weight of yours, Matt 😂
I’ve always thought the tyre shops and service departments spit out the good ol’ “40 psi mate” because they know the vast majority of people never check their tyre pressures.
I like to follow the hot tyre pressure test of a 4-6 psi increase from cold pressures after driving at highway speed for an hour.
Lol Jarrod. I use that rule as well
Your review Matt is one of the more comprehensive and non biased but takes into considerations a lot of variables which you note, so many tyre reviews do not do this.Tyre reviews by 4WD-ers are some of the most ridiculous nonsensical things in the industry. What I mean is that it is so hard to compare yet people come up with hard conclusions so easily. Like "they're bad in the wet, they are less grippy off road, one punctures more easily", fact is unless you are testing these theories on exact seam vehicle, exact driving style, exact road, exact weight, exact pressures, exact terrain, exact puncture objects you just can't come up with hard conclusions. It's the basics basics of running an experiment and testing a theory.
You make a good point. I’d not thought of it like that before.
Is it not true the minimum road legal tread depth is 3mm, not 2mm
I don’t know about that but tyres have a wear indicator and to my understanding that mustn’t touch the road.
The legal tyre tread depth for cars in the UK and Europe is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, according to law.
...
Tyre and safety experts believe the 1.6mm legal minimum is insufficient to guarantee safety - most recommend a minimum tread depth of 3mm for tyre replacement.
The difference in wet braking distance between a tyre worn to 3mm and one worn to 1.6mm can be as much as 44%.
---
On my Continental premium contact 6, you have wear indicators for both wet grip 3mm, and the legal 1.6 mm.
@@ПавелМатеев-о4ф thanks for that. My feeling is I’m replacing the tyres sooner rather than later so 3mm would be reasonable.
Are these the 980 or 881
It’s the RAZR AT
Razr AT 881 , the 980 is the Bravo
I had Maxis razr mud terrain on my patrol and couldn’t fault them. I put these maxis razr all terrain on my Land Cruiser and they are just as good.
So you drove only 16 thousand miles? and had that much wear?
Yeah that’s a fairly good run don’t you think? If I get 80k out of them that’s doing well.
I've done 35000 ks on mine still have 10.mm of tred well definitely well get a other side..
My Experience - very disappointed with the mileage. . Fitted from new to our 2021 DMAX Dual cab ute, as an Alternative to the Mickey ATZ which were not available at the time. At 50,000 klm they are on the tread wear indicators, despite regularly checking pressures, alignment , rotation etc. . Wet weather performance is dismal, particularly when unladen. Off road they are adequate, and have performed well in sand and rocky tracks, beach Vic High country. etc. Typically we get upwards of 80K out of a set of tyres , so 50K is very disappointing.
Wow. You’re the first person who’s had a negative experience with them. I’d be upset if I only got that many ks too.
Did you just pull out a stone from a tread block...access it...and then put it back!?! 😂
Good review though! Thanks!
Never heard of them in the US
They’re there.
We got 90k out of the maxxis razr MT772 mine rated tyre , haven't staked one yet and we go to some really unforgiving places in Australia, also really good on the tarmac and not noisy
A mate of mine has these. He hasn't had them long, and the leading edge of all of the side tread blocks are destroyed. They won't last long.
That’s odd. What pressure is he running. That sounds like there’s a problem that needs investigating.
@@MadMatt4WD his N80 dual cab hilux has an aluminium canopy and GVM upgrade, good suspension. I have 4wded with him numerous times and he has run my suggested tyre pressures, we have done some semi serious stuff but not tyre destroying stuff, everyone else's tyres are fine. Maybe he has run 2wd in some places and loaded up the tyres too much, i don't know. I just don't know of anything being done wrong. Simpler to just suggest he doesn't get them again. They aren't a Tier 1 tyre company. They are a cheaper tyre for a reason. Another mate got the previous maxxis AT tyres cheap through work but said they wore quickly.
@@MadMatt4WD one of the tyres just failed catastrophically, all of the sidewall opened up. Shame i cant post the pic here.
@@rhetth-s8082 yeah wow. With so many people having a good run with these tyres I can't help but feel there's something else contributing to your mate's issues. Anyway, I'm not here to defend Maxxis. I trust it was only the tyre that got hurt.
@@MadMatt4WD 39psi
And... MadMax is happy to sell a new set.
??
I have razr at's on my dmax they're 3/4 worn at 26000 km & I'm expecting to only get about 30000 km out of them. They're good on road, nothing special off road.
That’s horrendous mileage. They’re not mud tyres that’s for sure but they do well for what they are Offroad.
r.e the razr at's, I was talking to a local tyre distributor this morning & he's had no end of trouble with these tyres, customer complaints & returns due to poor mileage & tread degradation. Mine are starting to lose chunks off the tread blocks, most likely from the 2km of gravel road I drive daily, at 26-27000 km.
@@oz327 yeah right. I guess a tyre shop would see a lot more than I ever will. I’ve just had a good run with them so far. That’s all I can be honest about.
@MadMatt4WD My brothers mate like you can't fault them, maybe mine were from a bad batch. They were made in Thailand. Apparently, they are manufactured in multiple countries, so maybe there is a difference in quality depending on where they're made.
My maxxis are now at 30000 kms & today the right rear let go at 80kmh, sidewall tore from the tread nearly to the rim.
400ks a full tank 😅 sell it bro to much fuel consumption
Heck no. I like my addiction.
Would be happy with a set for my nav but seam to be impossible to find in the uk
😔
I have a set on my GU Wagon, on road nice ride quality, off road also great, Ive done 60tho klms so far. My only complaint is the price which has gone up over the past couple of years.
Good to know!
@MadMatt4WD yeah I'm looking at replacing them soon as they are nearly at the minimum tread depth, but I will have to fork out an extra 500 bucks from when I bought em 3 years ago as the price has gone up $100 per tyre, but ahh well I guess if you want quality then ya gotta stump the extra dollarie-doos for it.
@@aussieausdeutschland4245 Yeah tyres are expensive and nothing worse than buying a tyre that's crap. When I find a good tyre I do like to stick with it for as long as I can.
