Hi all so I was wondering if anyone has had experience with Maxxis Bighorn MT-762 tires? If I get truck aligned and rotate the tires often do y’all know if the tires will last long? From what I know Maxxis ain’t the best brand, I heard someone say they’re made in Thailand, and the price honestly scares me (they’re TOO cheap) they’re $157 each and the other ones (MTs) that are cheap as well start at like $195. I was just wondering since my brother’s had experience where he’s bought cheap tires on a little 2 door Hyundai he used to own, and he didn’t drive too much or too aggressively and they only lasted like 8 months (but for the record I don’t think he ever aligned the car lol. They were Accelera tires)
Anyways I was wondering if it seems like a steal or if I should dodge these tires and buy something higher quality? Thanks for the help

also sorry, I just realized there’s a Wheels Tires and Brakes section to the forum, feel free to move this over there if y’all want

 

They will fit fine.

As far as Maxxis, I run a set of those brand tires on my farm tractor. I've had them for a long time like since 2006.

Any tire will last as long as you keep the front end in check and aligned.

Great thanks for the help, I just ordered a set of 4 I’ll post some pictures of before and after. I currently have some basic HT Bridgestones that I’ve been looking to replace for a while

 

Ftank - I have Maxxis tires on my travel trailer and they have been great. They wear well and I've had no problems with them, unlike the OEM Goodyear Marathons that came on the trailer that had belt separation on two tires with about 5,000 miles of use. Of course that doesn't mean their truck tires will be good, but I'd think the quality might extend to them.

Thanks for the reply, great to know, yeah I’ve hears Goodyear tires have a lot of bad reviews
