I am trying to decide on what tire size to get on my 01 Offroad Ram and was wondering if anyone had any pics of a 305/70/17 mud terrain on the 17" off road rims.
I am currently looking either the 265/70/17 or 305/70/17 maxxis buckshot mudder.
Yeah, I know. It is the HVAC mans truck sitting behind mine in my driveway. Little puny Ford F-150 4x4, can't even see it behind the mighty Dodge!! :thatfunny
What's the difference between the Maxxis Buckshots and the Maxxis Bighorns. Those Bighorns look good. Which one is better for off road? Which one gets better mileage?
Also, what did they cost you and where can you get them?

The best I can tell they are quite similar to each other. However, the tread pattern is a bit different as are the side lugs. The Bighorns have a slightly deeper tread (16th" deeper) and they are 1/10th" taller, but they are 3/10ths" more narrow.
The Bighorns are fairly new and my guess is they will take the place of the Buckshot.
I found a local place that sold me the Bighorns and mounted/balanced for $715 total. The tires were $154 each I think. This is $100 less EACH than the Goodyear MTR's I priced out initially.
The cheapest I found the Buckshots for was $174 each from the same place, they said they are more because the Bighorns are new and they want folks to buy them.
Thanks man, yours is not too shabby either. What lift are you running? I have been thinking about the spacers. However, mine is an Off Road, will they work and will I get the full 2" (I think I would since they are spacers and not coils). Would it sit level you think, or be a bit higher in front? Were do you get them?
Ive got 35x12.5x17 pro comp x terrains on my 01 offroad, and i only rub at full left turn........ Is only hitting on the left and not the right normal???
3" skyjack all the way around , I had the spacers on before the lift and it worked great
you can fit 315 75R 16's with just the 2 " spacer on the front of the truck.
Yes they will work with the off road package. you will get the full 2"
I allso added about 1/8 " using washers before putting the spacer up in the pocket , I put my truck on a really level parking lot and used a tape to get the hight I needed , anymore than that and you will have trouble with shocks , They say with the off road package you mite want to get a bigger shocks.
I think to save money and still get a mt I'm going to get the maxxis bighorns 265/70/17. I found them for $127 a tire on the internet. The only thing that sucks is shipping for four tires is $65.
I think you will like the Maxxis rebelram. Its hard finding decent rubber for this size wheel, so it is nice that they are available and cheap.
Here is an update on my 305/70-17 Bighorns. I have about 1000 miles on them now. All highway, have not had them off road yet. They show no wear at all. They are noisey though. Not as noisey as 38" GroundHawgs though. I think I do have just a slight rub on the drivers side when the wheel is at full left lock. Sometimes I hear it sometimes I don't. It is only when I am on pavement though.
So far I am quite pleased with the tires, they can't be beat for $154 each.
