Fitting some new MAXXIS RAZR AT811s AND new wheels on our Hilux!

After 70,000kms our old tyres were pretty much done - it was time to chuck something new on. Enter the MAXXIS Razr AT811s - an aggressive all-terrain that is fairly new on the market. I also splashed out a little and got some new wheels! Pretty stoked with how it turns out.

We've done 15,000km review of the tyres - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oofMlHlpqL-Xgq8 - still absolutely stoked with them!

[@ABL973]

Well done. I’m running a set of AT811s as well. Quiet, comfortable and grippy on road. Had them in muddy soft ground and they seem capable.

[@OverlandNZTV]

They seem like a pretty good compromise eh! Super happy with how they performed over the weekend - so good not having to listen to noisy tyres! How long have you been running them for?

[@ABL973]

@@OverlandNZTV I got mine in October. I've not checked but I must be close to 4000km on them.

[@matangistation]

You will be impressed. Replaced my m/t’s as they weren’t available at the time with these 811 tyres in June. We live in the Central Otago high country so have given them a good work out in most conditions, they have exceeded my expectations on what I thought all terrains were capable of. Hope you have a good run from them too.

[@OverlandNZTV]

That’s awesome to hear! Always nice when a purchase is better than you expect eh. I’ve put around 1500kms on them on all sorts of terrain and so far, super happy. So much nicer on the road than my old tyres - and seem more than capable for what I need offroad. Be interesting to see how they go as they age!

[@ChrisGoh]

Great choice, looks awesome on your rig! Can't wait to watch your off-road review on the AT811. Cheers!

[@OverlandNZTV]

Cheers Chris! So happy with how it turned out - always tricky picking a new wheel. Will defo chuck something up when I've got a few more kms on them and had them in a few more situations 👍

[@martinwolmarans1833]

looks good. Think will be giving them a try. A lot of research, but still keep circling back to these.

[@OverlandNZTV]

I ended up exactly the same! Went round and around - almost bought another set of what I had before but everyone was raving on about these, so thought I'd give them a go! Published a 15,000km review view last week - covers my thoughts on them now - but in short, I'm super happy with them!

[@alexisgomez3195]

Great job! thank you for your video.

[@rawirihemi27]

I’ve been banging my head as to whether to get 285s over the 265s. The body mount chop alone had me scratching my head if it was worth it just for the look. These 265s look mean on the Luxy.

[@OverlandNZTV]

I had the same dilemma when I got new tyres. Decided not to bother - 265s look all good and were easy to fit. And being a manual, didn’t wanna regear it anymore with taller tyres

[@rawirihemi27]

@@OverlandNZTV yea nice, I’m getting my Hilux next month and I just didn’t think it was worth it (I also had no idea about the modifications needed either) With a lift and an aggressive AT it looks great IMO (265s) I am getting the Maxxis as well 👌👌👌

[@zooom6286]

Dude ur video helps. Im looking every review for these 811s. Thanks

[@OverlandNZTV]

Cheers mate! Will defo do a proper review once I’ve got a few more kms on them - but have put ~1500kms so far and super happy with how they’ve performed 👍

[@baron30001]

@@OverlandNZTV what do you think of them now man? What are they like on the road in the wet?

[@OverlandNZTV]

@@baron30001 Sorry for the slow reply - we were down south for a few weeks, wanted to wait till I was back to respond! Have put ~7,000kms on them now - so happy with how they perform. They're real nice on the road, did a whole day in the rain and they handled super well. Did a few rivers with rocks and stuff, again, zero issues. They were as good as any AT in the mud. Overall, real happy - so nice not having noisy tyres for those long drives on the highway!

[@yzrnu]

looking good bro. Planning to do some south island trip dec-jan?

[@AlexSmith-ls7xg]

Hi, I'm looking at getting some of these fitted to my 100 series landcruiser. No doubt they will be mainly used on sealed roads. How have you found them to date? What's the wear been like?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Hey, we've put ~11,000kms on them now and so far, stoked with them. They're really nice on the road - quiet, grip well and ride smoothly. Seem to track real well too which is nice after my last tyres. I got them rotated at 10,000kms and the tyre shop guy was amazed how at little they've worn which is a good sign. Yet to find any real issues with them - obviously they get a bit slippery in the mud, the sidewalls are strong so the ride can be a touch stiff if you pump them up too much (though Cruiser being heavier would help). This far in they're my favourite AT I've ever run. Hoping I get 60-70,000kms out of them, but time will tell

[@NerusavgahL]

What size did u get for your rig? 265 or 285?

[@bill7501]

Nice choice of wheel and tyre combo...im curious as to what the offset is,if they rub at all off road.

[@OverlandNZTV]

The wheels are a 17x9 +15 offset - no issues with rubbing on or offroad. The front bar helped

[@greatnessjr5137]

Hey guys love the wheels, what offset are you running on the 285

[@francoispresseault5086]

I am about to buy RAZR AT for my 4runner. Off-roading and Overlanding. How do you like them so far ?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Obviously can't speak for how long they last - but over the last 2 months and ~5000kms of various terrain, I'm super happy with them! They're really nice on the road - the sidewalls are fairly stiff, so they don't wander (Duratracs did real badly). Do need to air down more than I expected, but that's all good. Have had them on sand, rocks, gravel - no worries. Haven't tried mud yet being the middle of summer, but I assume they'll perform like most ATs. Highly recommended at this stage!

[@Norgrove.]

But but but the Duratracs!

[@OverlandNZTV]

It was a super hard call - I very nearly got another set. Decided I wanted something a little quieter this time, the Duratracs got super loud as they wore down. Apart from that though, they were awesome!

[@Norgrove.]

I've been noticing that with mine - I have the same 265/70/17 and the howl is getting worse! Hopefully the new RAZR AT lives up to the quiet hype!

[@OverlandNZTV]

How many KMs on yours now? Ours started getting super loud around the 50,000km mark. Put 1500kms on the new tyres over the weekend, so far pretty pleased - so much quieter and smoother. Will be interesting to see how they go long term

[@AdamSlater09]

How noisy are they on road, really? I want to pull off the standard Ranger HTs and chuck these on. Wife won't be happy if they're noisy af though 😂

[@OverlandNZTV]

The Hilux has a lot of other noise going on, so it can be tricky to judge, but to me, they seem quieter than the road tyres on our Kia Sportage. With the old tyres, you’d hear them above the engine and roof rack. The 811s are now the quietest of the three. In all honesty though, they’ll be a touch louder than an HT - but they’re the quietest AT I’ve ever run. There’s a stretch of highway just north of Wellington that my old Duratracs used to howl down. The Dueler AT 697s I had were even worse. I personally hate tyre noise (hence avoiding mud tyres) - so was a hard decision but stoked so far - have 14,000ish kms on them now, don’t seem to have gotten any louder

[@AdamSlater09]

@@OverlandNZTV Mean! I will give them a rip. They look baller.

[@jvstniq9881]

Hey mate what lift were you running on that SR5 I’m looking at doing a similar set up

[@OverlandNZTV]

Hey - hate a 40mm EFS kit in it 👍 did the trick fairly well

[@nzmarkb8713]

The new wheels look great I’m in the M/T camp sorry, you look silly stuck on wet grass in ya 4x4

[@OverlandNZTV]

Pretty stoked with them - changed the look up a bit eh!

[@allenwarren6601]

How did you find the duratracs vs the maxxis in the rain and with fuel mileage?

[@OverlandNZTV]

The RAZRs are way better in the wet - the Duratracs were alright, but they’re a more aggressive tread pattern. From memory the RAZR was slightly better on fuel, but so many factors

[@allenwarren6601]

@@OverlandNZTV awesome thanks. I saw your videos of the razrs in the snow. How would you compare them to the duratracs ( sorry duratracs are what came on my truck and what i have to compare with)

[@rockabillyrebel9207]

Razr MT's do get a bit annoying for noise around town and the AT's should be much better in the wet

[@OverlandNZTV]

True - that's interesting to know, everyone says they're quiet - but I guess that's for muds. The ATs are pretty quiet so far - hopefully they stay that way!

[@rockabillyrebel9207]

@@OverlandNZTV 80-100 highway speed They aren't too bad, below that the noise is way worse , I would estimate its well over 3 times as noisy at 50 vs 100

[@coopergartner3216]

what offset were on the previous rims?

[@OverlandNZTV]

They were a 16x8 0 offset 👍

[@greatnessjr5137]

sorry just seen 15 +. Whats the best for that tyre size

[@OverlandNZTV]

Hey mate - not sure what the best offset for a 285 is. A 0 to +15 is a good spot for a 265 which we were running Started off with 265/75R16 on a 16x8 0 offset steel rim - then moved to the 265/70R17 on a 17x9 +15 - same overall size, sat almost identically to the 16" rim

[@adamodasilva6147]

What colour snipper rims did you go ?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Went with the matte black ones - wanted some hyper black but couldn’t get them in NZ. Matte looks all good though really!

[@stephenbeness2309]

What pressure are you running while on tarmac?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Currently running them at 38psi - seems to work well with the weight and stuff 👍

[@stephenbeness2309]

@@OverlandNZTV thanks heaps, my tyre guy put 50psi which I thought ridiculous

Are your hilux lifted

[@OverlandNZTV]

Has a 40mm lift in it 👍

[@arkdave]

how much per piece?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Depends on size and any deals - be worth chatting to your local tyre shop. Can’t remember what I paid, but I assume they cost more than two years ago sadly

[@arkdave]

@@OverlandNZTV are you still using maxxis right now? im considering maxxis and falken coz i read bfg is sllippery when comes rainy season

[@OverlandNZTV]

@@arkdave Sure are - I kept these wheels/tyres when I sold the Hilux and put it on my Fortuner. I have ~45,000kms on them now, will be getting another set, they've been awesome. Haven't had any issues in the wet. They're a tad louder now than when new, but that's not unexpected. From what I've heard, the Falkens are awesome - haven't tried them myself though. The RAZR is a marginally more aggressive tyre which helps in the mud
