I didn't go for the Coopers , I went with Maxxis Bighorn 265/70/17 , bought them through camskill.co.uk .I think it worked out at about €365 approx for 4 delivered to Ireland exc VAT

I'll post findings after this weekend once I try them out , wont be fitted until tomorrow. They're a beast of a tyre to look at. Bought them purely for mud.

They look a decent tyre for the price.
What's the difference between the Bighorn and the Buckshot Maxxis tyres?? ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I think the Bighhorn has a more aggressive thread Ron. Clearance between the lugs is massive and at least 20 mm thread depth.Side lugs aswell but not as prominent as Coops.

Looking at the pice Ron , only difference seems to be sidelugs on the Bighorn and not on the Buckshot.

Maxxis Bighorn 265/70/17

Verdict : An absoleutely savage tyre , just eats mud.No problem climbing out of ruts , solid on rocks.Strong as they come.

Noisy on the road ( who cares , theyre offroad tyres) , haven't tried them on a wet road yet but I'll be taking it easy when the time comes.
