Maxxis RAZR AT811 - 15,000km review - the BEST AT tyre? Plus my thoughts on AT vs MT for overlanding

[@mattexnz]

I will second that for the RAZR AT811. Just done 2 weeks and just over 3600km round the South Island with plenty of tarmac travel and off road, mud, river bed and gravel road surfaces seen. Very quiet. Even quieter than the cheap brand of HT that were on when I got the truck. Had a great time thanks to these tyres. Skippers canyon was muddy as. Aired down to 20psi and was away happily.

[@OverlandNZTV]

That's awesome! Good punishment for them too covering all the different terrains. Crazy that they're quieter than the HTs eh. I find them quieter than the car tyres on our Kia Sportage on the highway

Maxxis RAZR AT811 all the way and great review

[@OverlandNZTV]

Cheers mate! They really are eh - super happy with them!

[@ozcampnhuntdan7858]

Fantastic review, very honest and genuine. I've had cooper st-max - crappy wear and poor road grip, bfg at - slippery as on wet roads, toyo open country at2 - great road grip, tough, quiet and no complaints. After much research have ordered the at811 simply because they are slightly more aggressive more than the at2's. Keep up the great work .

[@OverlandNZTV]

Cheers mate! I looked at the AT2s - they seemed like a decent tyre - but I wanted something a tad more aggressive, pretty stoked with the choice I made! Hopefully they serve you well 👍

[@ozcampnhuntdan7858]

@@bengleckl1877 Hi Ben, they give a tiny bit of feedback but I like that, despite that they seem 'cushioned' with larger imperfections. Suspension may have some effect because I use Koni sure trac set at quite a stiff setting which works awesome on corrugated roads....no skipping.

[@revivalsoldiers9072]

Nice! Always good to hear the review is helpful! We just did a decent road trip in non-stop rain and snow and they performed awesomely

[@markoneill9064]

I ran the MT’s on my Ute and the AT 811 on the wagon… I can’t fault them and they are far and away a better tyre than many of the other big name brands. I’ve been using them for 5 years now and won’t change them for any other brand. Arnhemland & the North West Kimberley with 90% being off road driving. Brilliantly designed for Oz conditions.

[@explorewithmarcus]

I run the RAZR MT’s which is very quiet compared to the BFG KM3’s. I have 20k on mine now and they barely show any wear, even after the 5500km down South driving some punishing rocky tracks.

[@OverlandNZTV]

Everyone raves about how quiet they are for an MT! And rates them highly. That’s awesome though - the South Island punishes them eh

[@rockabillyrebel9207]

25K On my Razr MT's and yes very little wear. They have hardened up a little and do move a little in the wet roads if you drive like you stole it.

[@ZonaOverland]

I run Nitto MT, and they are amazing on extreme situation but like you said they are loud but not as much as other ones. I live in the United States and the driving is intense, I am looking into purchasing these tires. Thank you for the review

[@OverlandNZTV]

I looked at those briefly when trying to decide what to go with - they get good reviews. But I wanted something quiet for those highway drives to cool spots. Glad the review was helpful!

[@G34R5]

I am in the process of swapping all the work vehicles onto the Falken Wildpeaks. After running AT's in Summer and MT's in Winter I thought there must be a better option. A Mid range AT's I have found to be perfect. Grip off road and on road for a nice balanced Overland vehicle. You gotta buy a tyre for what you drive, those guys on muds and 20" rims that never leave the pavement are pointless and worse haha

[@OverlandNZTV]

The Falken is similar to the RAZR AT from what I've seen - they're more of a rugged terrain than all terrain - and seem to go well on most surfaces! Ha ha ha - I don't understand the 20" MT look - all of the downsides of an MT without making the most of what they can do - but I guess some people just love the look!

[@JS-hz6dv]

I've been running the falken wildpeak AT, in 33 inch tire for about 2 1/2 years now on my F250. Great tires, super super quiet on the road, great in the mud, and great in the snow. I highly recommend them. I was looking at other brands to buy some 35's, but I might stick to the wildpeaks. Oh, and the tread wear is not bad at all, mine still have tons of tread left.

[@martinschlegel1823]

Probably gonna try them in Peru. Currently Running the Maxxis Bravo AT771 but those are more road tires than the Razr AT 811 and while I'm content with the onroad performance, I do want a bit more mud / offroad performance so the switch seems a good option. My tires are ok still, probably gonna keep them for half a year still, but when they done, the RAzr AT811 is currently my first choice for replacing them.

[@DuriNZ]

I've always run Hercules Terra Trac AT II, Silent down the road, last forever, go pretty good in the mud despite being an AT. Can handle some hell of abuse and have never had an issues. Will forever be a hercules tyre guy now lol

[@llondoskyllondosky8565]

What about the griped when braking on wet asphalt bro ??…. Is it long sliding ??

[@OverlandNZTV]

Haven't had any issues - they brake well in the wet for an aggressive AT. Obviously not as good as a highway tyre, but you wouldn't expect it to be. Have ~45,000kms on them now and they still grip well in the wet in general

[@nickathos7428]

What rims are they? I went for a 285 mt razr purely for looks but after this vid i think next set will be a 265 at. Great vid Brother

[@OverlandNZTV]

They're a Sniper Ballistic 17x9 +15 - pretty happy with them after three years. I very nearly went for 285s but decided it wasn't worth the hassle for looks - the slightly smaller tyre works mint. Cheers mate!

[@OverlandNZTV]

They sure are 👍

[@NigelHealey]

would love to know if these are quieter and more comfortable than Falken Wildpeaks in a 265/65/18?

[@OverlandNZTV]

I haven’t run the Wildpeak - but the RAZR has a marginally more aggressive tread pattern, so I’d assume it’s a little louder. Any LT tyre is going to be a lot stiffer than a standard tyre which is worth keeping in mind in terms of comfort I’ve put around 40,000kms on the RAZR now, has gotten a little louder as you’d expect - but they still perform well and do the trick. Will probably be buying another set when it’s time

[@callumfoley1730]

Are these quitter the wildpeak at3?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Haven’t run the wild peak, so not sure. The maxxis has a slightly more aggressive tread pattern though so I’d assume they’re a touch louder

[@philmtb121]

Was this the 10 ply LT version?

[@OverlandNZTV]

They are indeed

[@patriotsleepercell4060]

Are you running a P rated or LT which one would you recommend?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Running the LT - I want as much strength as possible when offroad. Does mean they're a lot heavier and use a touch more fuel, but it's a tradeoff I'm happy to make

[@bengleckl1877]

How do they handle small imperfections???? The yokahoma g015 are glass smooth. I will prob go with them but how is the maxxis

[@OverlandNZTV]

In terms of on road handling? I came from Duratracs, so they're far better than that. Looking at photos of the G015 they appear to have a less aggressive tread, so are probably better again. I haven't noticed any major issues with the RAZRs though, they drive perfectly fine to me for the style of tyre they are. Hope that helps!

[@BorisEkner]

While watching your video iv been interrupted several times My daily driver is a 2022 Jimny. When it’s time to change the tires, Maxxis, Falcon, BFG’s, and Toyo, are my favorites. (Aren’t the BFG’s too heavy?) - That said, how many punctures have you had with the Maxxis?

[@ianparsons8894]

How are these going? Are you still running this set?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Going awesome - yep, still running the same set. Have put ~42,000kms on them between the two vehicles. They've gotten a little louder as you'd expect, nothing crazy though. Still have a bunch of tread left. Still drive nicely. I'll probably put another 10k kms on them before swapping them to a fresh set and passing the old ones on. Overall, super happy with them and will be buying another set

[@annabanna666]

How do they do on slick wet tar seal

[@OverlandNZTV]

They’re awesome for a fairly aggressive AT. You can get them to spin up if you’re trying but if you’re just driving in wet weather mode, I’ve found them to grip really welll

[@Iziahbecause]

Are you running a lift kit at all to accommodate the 32”? Any wheel rubbing and such? I’m considering the 265/70 same as yourself

[@OverlandNZTV]

I've got a 40mm lift in it - though with the correct offset wheels, you may not need a lift. Rubs a tiny bit when turning sharp under compression, but not a huge issue. With my old wheels I had to cut some of the stock bumper away to get them to clear properly - still rubbed, but not badly. Bullbar solved most of my issues there. Hope that helps!

[@richardwalsh5570]

How bad are they in mud? We have a lot of mud here in Tasmania

[@OverlandNZTV]

My old Duratracs were better in the mud. The RAZR isn’t too bad for an AT, but the tread blocks are fairly close together. I avoid mud wherever possible though - hate the stuff 😂

[@greatnessjr5137]

What size tyre are you running

[@OverlandNZTV]

They're a 265/70R17 👍

[@dabrownie93]

Weird question but what on-road pressures do you use?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Not a weird question at all - tend to run 38psi day to day. Might chuck the rears up to 40psi if I'm towing. Hope that helps!

[@Norgrove.]

Better than the Duratrac then?

[@OverlandNZTV]

Slightly “less good” in mud - but better everywhere else so far! Drive so much nicer on the road too. Duratracs got super loud around 15-20,000kms - and got worse as they aged - these are still as quiet so far

[@madrx2]

Bro I'm running Duratracs now, They're absolutely horrendous and the blocks are all different heights and louder than most M/t's on the highway. They have been horrible! Just ordered some 811's, Can't wait to get these evil Duratracs off the car!

[@OverlandNZTV]

Can’t say I have, from a quick Google they look a bit less “offroady” than the RAZR. I find them good enough on the road for a fairly chunky AT with an LT construction. On our new car, I swapped a set of HTs off it it and put the RAZRs on - you can feel the difference, it’s less smooth and louder as you’d expect but it drives fine still in my opinion. If you’re doing heaps of highway kms could be worth trying to find something with a less aggressive tread pattern though. Hope that kinda helps!
