I don't have any first hand experience with the Maxxis Bighorns, but my little brother put a brand new set of Maxxis Buckshot Mudders on his Z71. LOUD, but a really good mud tire WHEN THEY HAD TREAD. Pulled them off BALD at 21k miles. I wish I had a pic of them, you coulda taken 'em to the track as slicks, LOL.
He listened to me on his next set, Mickey Thompson MTZs. yeah more $, but here they are with 37k miles on them:

Okay. I made a photo bucket so we'll see how it works. I only had a chance to snap a few pics when it was already dark out. I can get some better ones tomorrow. Tire specs are 265/70/16. The dak is 2wd, lifted 2 inches. The tires have minimal road noise, you can hardly notice it.

Holy shi*t that is cheap! and btw tire rack pulls you in by their low prices but rape you with shipping. My 31's from tire rack were 140.00 then shipping was another 150.00!! I got my 32's from discounttiredirect.com because they price match anywhere that you find cheaper and they have free shipping! Really nice guys over there they are eager to get you to buy from them and will work on pricing. I just sold my 2 old 31's today the guy that bought him said he wanted for a spare and to replace his leaking one he said he wont run any other tire. I love mine and wont run any other tire either! I have almost 10k on my bfg's(couple of short burn outs on them) they still look brand new 85-90% tread left

That looks sweet man; I love those rims Wish my dak came with the 16" rims instead of the 15; Why did they do that.. ROFL...
Well I notice at check out there is a strange Automotive Service and Fees for 96.00 I think I'm just going to discount tire; they already said they would comp tirerack at 140; I'm going to take a print out of the webpage to them and let them have their way with my truck..
It all depends if i can get BFG's as cheap (Or cheaper) than the Grabbers; I think I'm down to these two and have excluded (As much as I love the aggressive look) of the GoodYear Authority; they really are a sexy looking tire; and would love to have them esp. at the price; but it only concerns me about they are ONLY made fro Wally-world.. I've ran GoodYear before and never had a problem with them; but IDK these days.. I want Discount Tires warranty. I love their warranty. And I love their service.
