Hi guys I'm looking at changing my tyres soon, I've heard good things about bighorns but i want to see what other people have got on well with?

I like my Bighorns. Not too aggressive so go well on the road but plenty of performance off it.

I very occasionally find myself floating on sticky clay but I run a rather wide size for the weight of the truck.

If you are going for a smaller size the 764s are a bit more aggressive than the 762s which unfortunately aren't available in bigger sizes because of the noise regs.

Insa turbo special track pattern is a great off road tyres, but if you do a lot of road miles the noise can get a bit much

Tyre choice all boils down to your use.

What does your Suzuki get used for The majority of the time? Would you rather compromise off-road or on road driving?

Always had off road tyres on all my zooks and never had an issue with the handling on tarmac. As for road noise...just turn up the stereo a bit.

Insa turbo Sahara's here.. Better on road than road tyres I found and so far v good offroad. Twiss has the same and his car sticks like shit to a sheet off road, hence me getting some haha

The majority of the time is just light greenlaning and the odd play day hear and there, I'm trying to keep it as subtle as possible and don't really want to go for hardcore mud tyres like insa turbos or alike, had kl71's but never really got on with them

I've heard really good things about bighorns, and other maxis A/T alternatives, maybe thats the way to go?

They are certainly good quality tyres.

I find them loads better than my old 31" Insa turbo saharas on the road even though they are 33".

Proper nice compound rubber on a well made supple carcass.

It's a bit hard to compare offroad performance because they are considerably bigger than the saharas I had.

If I was you matt I'd buy some 32 inch simex.

Im liking the sound of the maxxis if I'm honest, i see where you're coming from mike, but 32" on 1 1.0l is pushing it i think, il go through clutches every 2 hours
