Re: Maxxis Bighorn?
A couple guys on the crew ran them on their work trucks for logging so the rigs are weighted down pretty heavy. One rig is a '09 Ford 1 ton standard cab longy with 100 gal slip tank and atleast 500+ lbs additional tools and overload bags. They tried the Maxxis as a cheaper substitute to Toyo's M55 and Toyo's Open Country mud tire. The Maxxis don't last as long but the side walls seem to hold out in the sticks. Ultimately for this app the guys still like the Toyo's better for longevity and wear for the price. In lighter apps for mud a few others I know run them but once again it was only because the Maxxis was a cheaper option. I think they are a fine "middle of the road" tire for what sounds like you want to use them for.
