Maxxis Razr AT ~ Long Term Review

We did more than put the latest Maxxis Razr 811 AT to the test, we punished it!

In this long term review, Jared talks about the latest all-terrain tyre from Maxxis and how it has stood up to 10,000km of day to day travel plus the off road tracks of southern Tasmania!

Need to know more? Check out our full written review over here:

Note that the puncture that was fixed in the video was caused earlier by running over a glass bottle on the verge of a road, and Jared hadn't got around to fixing it yet 🙄 We also don't recommend fixing punctures in the side wall, unless you're actually out on the trail and really need the tyre, as this type of puncture repair isn't 100% fail safe.

Jared:

G'day, Jared from Tyre Review here and I've been rolling for about the last eight and a half thousand Ks on the Maxxis RAZR AT, so not the MT, it's the AT.

So it's a slightly more aggressive pattern than what they normally have. So the 771, that sort of thing. And I've actually been remarkably impressed with these tyres. I was worried because you know, they're slightly more aggressive patterns are sometimes not as good in the wet, but on roundabouts, slow speed, they've been really good. There's been a touch of a little bit of understeery oversteery if you give it a bit too much with the right boot. But I mean, you shouldn't be doing that any way. You should be driving to the conditions.

Everyday driving, they've actually been really good. So a little bit of noise, but not as much as I was expecting given the aggressive pattern. So again, marginally more noise than your average all terrain but nothing to complain about.

Because the pattern is aggressive, they have actually been really good off-road so we've just come through some fairly serious tracks.

And we managed to roll one off the rim.

Oh, no.

I was coming up here and it sort of slid to the right and I didn't notice it had come off the bead and gave it some welly. Lot's of welly's and-

Was it the driver or the car?

A combination of both, I guess.

So around the front, I have managed to put some glass in one as well. Probably had the most adventurous time with these tyres that I've had yet with any of the tyres that I've tested, but I've given them hell and they've come back for more. So, the Maxxis RAZR AT I would certainly recommend as a great aggressive all terrain tyre for pretty much anyone who's actually going to be getting off the beaten track more regularly than not.

So, yeah. Maxxis RAZR AT. Go out and get them!

I’ve been waiting for this review for a while, but would love to hear or see a bit more on the experience on-road in the wet and road noise as compared to the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and the Falken Wildpeaks.

[shefdim]

I have had nitto ridge, been very happy with them. But have considered Maxxis. Anyone had both to give feedback?

[nevadaboy]

Are you testing the P or LT rated tire? guess i quit reading the comments to early lol

[aussiefarmer]

I got these on my prado today, Im a farmer in the hills, grass gets slippery. I didn't want to get muddies so these were recomended. Should be ok for slippery rocky terrain. The ute does most of the hard work on the property but the prado gets a regular call up for service to help out.

My 2010 Pajero on Dueller 697 A/T's are due for replacing, these a better option for everything kinda use? Cheers

[jacobshort]

I have them. I would say they have some noise depending on the type of pavement you are driving on. Overall, not loud. I can't compare to other brands as these are my first AT tire on a vehicle. Performance gets a A. For the mud they have seen I have had no problems, in rain again no problems The loose gravel parking lot/gravel roads have been good as well. It takes a full throttle off the line acceleration to get them to break loose but it's only a split second on a wet road before traction is there and it's going. I haven't had snow yet but that is coming in a couple of months so we will see about that but I have heard good things for them.

Great video..👍👍What size tyre was fitted to the Ranger..?

[IsraelTangaroaBirch]

Is that camo wrap on your truck? Looks great 👍

[siga]

great video. was your fuel economy affected by using this tires?

[lachlanabbey]

how do they go in the muddy clay stuff because I know that the bfg ko2 isn't very good in the mud all the mud gets stuck in the tire and you lose all your traction. do the razr at's do a better job?

[Happyexplorers_au]

Hi Jared, how does the Falken Wildpeak AT3W compare with these tyres in your experience, particularly with wet driving?

[michaelhunter]

Great for grip and for lasting a long time but that is where the good ends as they will suck the power out off your ute and drain your fuel an extra 100km. I had Pirelli Scorpions before getting RAZR AT811 and consistently got 8l per 100km, giving me a range off over 800km, but with the RAZR AT811 I am struggling to get under 10l per 100km and my fuel tank range has been cut to just over 700km. The tyre size and working pressures I am running are the same on both the Pirelli and the Maxxis so there should be no difference in fuel economy or power drop and the difference was instant the second I pulled out the tyre shop, If I had changed tyre size then I would expect the change. The ride comfort is shocking at best as the Pirellis were smooth and absorbed the bumps on the rough country roads but the RAZR AT811 are like riding a jackhammer.

[markthomas]

What do you recommend for the tyre pressure on normal road conditions for dry and wet?

[andrewcrofts]

Thanks Jared. What’s your verdict on comparing them with the Nitto Ridgegrapplers? As you’ve tested both on the same rig; would be good to get your opinion. Cheers

[MrTullyblue]

Hi Jared, im picking up new dual cab Hilux in about 2 weeks - its having a 2 inch lift - what would your pick be Maxxis Razr AT or Wildpeak AT? - size will be 265/70/ 17s, farm driving - some off road touring and hwy

[amilawickramasinghe]

how do you compare these with Toyo open country?

[PradoPlacesOz]

Did you do decibel readings on road? Any idea which is quieter on highways Maxxis RAZR AT 811 or Falken Wildpeak AT3W

[garrethmacanchroisan]

Can anyone tell me what brand that roof rack on the ranger is please, looks awesome

[allenwarren]

Im coming from the stock goodyear duratracs on my truck and between the razr a/ts and the falken wildpeaks as replacement tires. How would you rate them against each other?
