The Bighorn radial adds to an already impressive line-up of serious light truck tires offered by Maxxis. Judging by appearance, there’s no question that the Bighorn is an aggressive off-road tire. Judging by design, it’s exceptionally engineered to meet the challenges of the most demanding off-road enthusiasts.


- Staggered shoulder lugs for added traction in uneven terrain.
- Deep tread blocks for self-cleaning capabilities.
- Pinned for studs.
- Excellent traction in mud and rocky terrain.
- Enhanced puncture resistance.
- Outstanding handling capability on all hard terrain.
- RWL = Raised White Letter

Pros: Hook up well, Does great in rain and offroad. Look great
Cons: Loud. Very Loud.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Got these tires cheap on a trade. They work great but are really loud on the road. If i was spending full price I probably would have got something different but I'm happy with them for the price i got em for.

Pros: Seem to work equally well on the road and in the dirt. Just did a two day wheeling trip, and they hooked up nicely. Quieter than most other aggressive tread tires when on road.
Cons: Haven't had them long enough to notice any negatives.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: My review is covered in the pros and cons. I haven't really had them long enough to judge their wear, and that is one of the big things for me. I used them on a recent wheeling trip, where I faced a bit of everything. Rocks, sand, dirt, water and mud. They handled everything fine. So far, I am very happy with these tires.

Pros: Solid Ride, good handling on or off road
Cons: None
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Purchased a set of 31x10.50 for my existing 15 inch wheels. Got a great price on all 4 with about 70% tread left. Considering a new set of the same brand but 33x10.50 as I have seen em on another red Cherokee "twin" running about town and they look aggressive! I recommend a set for anyone looking to get dirty quick and on a tight budget

Pros: good on road manners for a mud tire
Cons: not the greatest offroad
Recommended? Yes

Comments: upgraded from the goodyear silent armor to the Maxxis Big Horn for a more aggressive offroad tire. Tire still has good on road manners, but gives me more capability for trails and hunting in the woods.

Pros: great price and great off road traction and handle weight very well
Cons: A little loud on the pavement.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Just wanted to add an update to the Big horns I'm running. I have about 1.5 yrs on them now and still wearing awesome and looking good. I have miles and miles of rock trails on them as well. I'm running stock rims and air these down to 10PSI with no issues at all great flex in the tire awesome puncture resistance as well. Were my friends are getting there sidewalls cut threw I'm just pushing threw no problems. I had these in snow, mud, lots of sand and of course rock and tons of water. The traction is outstanding in all area's were I don't even air down at the beach.

Pros: They have done great for our style of wheeling. Trails and reasonable mud for the size of the jeep
Cons: none so far
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I got these tires without looking into reviews. They have done great so far and provide better traction than I can get as of yet without lockers. They were not bad price wise I thought. I have not put very many miles on them but they seem to be wearing pretty well. I would reccomend these to anyone.

Price: $1,100.00
Pros: Great Snow performance. Great mud performance. Quiet on the road
Cons: None yet
Recommended? Yes

Comments: So far I have about 1200 miles on these tires. I've found the performance in snow to be very good. I had them siped for better ice performance and they have performed admirably. The mud performance is exceptional. This tread design seems to clean very well in the soupy crap Ive put them in and I have had absolutely no traction issues. I had read some reviews where folks had complained about the road noise of the Bighorns. I dont know if its because Im coming out of Baja Claws or if I just need to put more miles on them, but so far I have found the road noise from these tires to be negligible. If the wear performance is as good as the traction, I'll replace these with another set when the time comes.

Comments: I got these tires installed brand new when I purchased my jeep. So I had no money in them so to speak. Great all around traction and good wear. Mostly mud where I'm from and little rocks. They seem to grip the road good in the snow as well.

Price: $170.00
Pros: No vibration, good construction, relatively inexpensive, look aggressive
Cons: Loud, kerfs too shallow, increased fuel consumption ... but that's most mud terrains
Recommended? No

Comments: 33x12.50R15 Tire is strong and balances easy, but the kerfs (sipes) are way too shallow. Within the first 20% of wear, the tire will no longer have factory siping. Tire doesn't hydroplane in typical downpour puddling, even at highway speeds. Traction is good on dry roads also. Grip all around is good, and these will pick up stones sometimes, but have no problem shedding them. Steering input is good, and braking is predictable with no unusual behavior. I have not had them in snow or ice, but I suspect their performance to be typical of a mud terrain.

Now the biggest negative for me is I prefer a less aggressive tire, since I spend 90%+ of the odometer on paved roads. These are a little louder than my KM2's in the same size, especially below 45mph. At highway speeds they are still louder, but you will hear the most contrast to KM2's below 45mph (where the KM2's were much quieter at city speeds). Tire pressure makes zero difference in this regard, it is the design and construction. I also notice that the rolling resistance is greater with these tires than most tires I've had. These really are a good tire, but should be reserved for use on a vehicle that spends 25% of it's life off-highway. If you are over the age of 30, and drive the vehicle daily, you will most likely not like this tire much either? Great looking tire, but you can't see the tires when you're sitting in the driver's seat listening to these typical mud terrains hum .... If that's your thing, God Bless Ya! ... But not for me.

Cons: none yet

Comments: Have over a month on them now. Have taken 3 trips so far the longest up to VA 7hrs highway to get there tires were good not to loud. Crawled right over the rocks and threw the mud no problems. Also went to Freeman park where the sand is thick. Stayed in 4Hi the whole time traction control only came on twice and tons of people were getting stuck. So far so good
