Well finally I have made up my mind, Im gonna get some 235/75/15 buckshot mudders for the jeep but I gots a few questions for those who have them or have used them before.

What are they like on the highway? Noise, Steering Response, Braking......ect.
How good are they in mud?

**BlueBronco** · 03-09-2004, 10:31 PM

They are good in the mudd. Buckshots are also siped and threaded for studs. The sidewall is stiff so you don't want to try and pass a Porche. They are tough to beat for the money. They make a hum on the road.

Really, I had a set from the Co-op, on the 73. really did great in the mud, howl like a banshee, and wore like iron. Had manual steering so It steered like the titanic.

they wear very well, they do alright in the mud as far as A/Ts go. not as good as a swamper in the mud though. If you look around you can find the same tire under another name for less money. They run high air psi. so they do handle well.

78Bronco4x4 · 03-10-2004, 01:48 AM

Well, unfortunatly I ran into some financial problems and ended up getting the cheapest All Terrain tire my dad sells, 235/75/15 Michelin Liberators, which isnt really a problem to me because I have had experience with them off-road. They are pretty damn good in mud for a A/T,they have fairly wide center tread and siped for wet roads and icy situations (they work great on ice). priced at $60 minus %10 with my dads discount card

compared to the $90 BuckShots + the price for shipping + tax.

**Marauder** · 03-10-2004, 03:50 PM

wait, so buckshots are considered A/Ts? Im looking at them right now and they look just like a super swamper LTB?

1982bronco · 03-10-2004, 04:17 PM

i thought they were mudders?

and hence the name of the thread "Buckshot Mudders"

**Marauder** · 03-10-2004, 04:42 PM

Yeah they really look like a mud tire. I havent seen them in person but compared to all of the other pictures they look like an agressive mud tire.

92broncoman · 01-25-2009, 02:44 PM

you can buy nankang mudstars. thats what i have . same pattern and design as the buckshots. they were 150 a piece for 33x12.5

OzzyZig87 · 02-04-2009, 09:57 AM

make sure you get buckshot mudders and not maxxis buckshot muddrs

kemicalburns · 02-04-2009, 12:59 PM

also consider the Maxxis Bighorns, they are cheap but so far a great tire according to others here. there is a review thread regarding these tires.

**Hopper** · 02-04-2009, 04:04 PM

I'm pretty sure that all Buckshots are made by Maxxis...

I've had both the Big Horns and the Buckshots. IMO, the Big Horns are better in pretty much every way.

They might be now, i'm not sure what the deal is really. I do know that a few years back they didnt physically say maxxis on the tire. Maybe a diffrent tire I dunno. A lot of the guys run them down here in SE Texas because they are supposedly made in La. Never ran them though, this is just from what i've heard.

X2!!!! Get the gateway buckshot tires... A very GOOD tire, I have ran these in the past, Q78 biasply and the tread is about 1.25'' deep. They wear very well also, alot of the local mud boggers around here run them still and the Q78's run about 800 buxs a set.

I thought the point of the reviews section was to give reviews for others to search up for later use

Maxxis has been the company behind Buckshot and are based out of Georgia. Interco is based out of Louisiana.
