They faired well, especially uphill. Trusted mechanic buddy said Blizzaks were the way to go, but these Yokohamas made me feel in control and handle well on the clear days
I just put on my 285 75 16 maxxis at811s a few days ago. Road noise is almost none, you would have to turn the speakers off and listen for it. Load rating E so stiffness is definitely a given. Braking is definitely harder because of the weight.
Gotta say, I've been a big fan of my maxxis tires. Super solid tire for a brand that isn't exactly a household name (I wouldn't call them offbrand, just not a big name).
So, over 500 miles on these tires. Dirt roads, a little bit of real off-road, freeway, grooved freeway, some rain (no snow). Here are my thoughts.
So far, because these are so light, I can discern virtually no difference in handling from the cheese-ball OEM tires. Mileage may have taken a slight dip based on the computer, probably due to the more aggressive tread pattern, but I'm still consistently getting over 20mpgs.
These things are really quiet. On grooved highways, really stable. Rain. It wasn't a toad-floater, but no hydroplaning, very stable and confidence inspiring. Braking, Excellent, better than the BFG/Wildpeaks, probably due to lower weight. Acceleration, Really really good. Again, because of the low weight, they come up to speed nicely. Dirt Roads. A really fun tire. Plenty of grip, easy to feel when they are starting to slide. And they slide very predictably. Real Off Road. Very compliant. Highway compliance. A very nice, comfortable tire. Cornering. The carcass is slightly stiffer than OEM, so they feel more planted in the twisty bits. Look. This is subjective, but I think these are the best looking tire's I've ever had.
It'll be fine. I have Rekon 2.4 WT on 28mm internal width rims and they feel great.
I just put minions DHR WT and DHF WT on my line elite 30s on my Slash and size wise they fit great and are awesome to ride.
I run 2.5 assguy and 2.4 dhr2 on 30mm rims, completely fine.
Recently got some Yokohama Avid Ascends after reading some recs on this sub. I like 'em.
I went with the Yoko Geolanders. They are quieter than the Michelins that they replaced, but my gas mileage has dropped like 5%.
A very poor tire, I think if you treat them as summer tires and put on winters or good all season + 3PMSF tires like Michelin Crossclimate 2s, you'll be much happier in the snow.
