I've been running these for the past two years is Arizona. From daily driving to mud to rock crawling, they've been a fantastic tire choice for me. Great video, glad to see they've done well in a wide range of terrains.
Your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite subscriptions hands down. Keep up the fantastic work!
I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching man 👊
Frank Scola mine too. He’s really good!
Agreed
Yes, narrow snipes (small burrows inside of the lugs/contact patches) increase snow traction like crazy.. snow sticks to snow.. and once its stuck and packed in there, it just adds traction. Thanks for the tire video.. its nice to see people analyze what's out there on the market.
This was a great review! He put these tires to the test in every aspect and gave an honest review.
Great review, I am glad to hear someone as experienced as you share my opinion of these tires. I run 37's on a 2020 Gladiator and they absolutely rock! My opinion differs slightly on your snow rating as I have had them up the mountain trails on multiple occasions this year and they performed very well, not a 4, but definitely a 3-3.5.. keep rockin the channel, your doing a fantastic job!
I really appreciate your straight forward no none sense approach. Seriously learned more about tires in this video then I have before. I'm hopeful to learn more. Thanks sincerely again. First hand experience is always the best.
Hands down fabulous tire in the snow I have Maxxis razor Mt 33 On my 1984 4runner did incredibly well through blizzard conditions in Donner and Tahoe going downhill braking fast and not slipping. Really great control driving them through thick snow and hard ice. Had my fun doing brody's in 2' of snow and plowing through without bogging down through 4' of snow. I felt comfortable on the highway driving over a foot of hard packed snow on a steep hill doing about 55 to 60 at times in blizzard like conditions.
Best unbiased tire review I have watched. TONS of the right info. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍
Honestly never considered these tires as outstanding in any one thing outside of durability. Durability seems like the most noteworthy quality of these tires from what I have seen of them in action. Never owned a set but it's a tire I pay attention to. Nice review. Man I loved my Ko2s in everything except mud honestly. Wish they were a bit more true to size though.
Always love seeing the videos and the progress of your Jeep love the build
I'm gonna second anyone giving you a thumbs up. You're doing an excellent job on your videos. You've inspired a lot of what I want to build but with an XJ Cherokee. Definitely want to go 40's. I live in Idaho, so we got some nasty snow here and the mud is super heavy snot like clay. It's super easy to get stuck in the Caribou mountain and Bone area because of those reasons. You should look into Yokohama X-MT's. I've met a couple guys running them and they love them in all conditions so far. They drive here and all around Moab Utah too. They are very aggressive tires but surprisingly they aren't terrible on the pavement. You should give them a try. I'm going to go with a set of those in 40x13.50x17's
Great vid as per usual. Loved the slo-mo shot of the side wall grinding on the rock at 4:37.
Thanks man 👊
Thanks for the video been looking to get them for my pathfinder as I drive up and down a pole line in the mountains for hunting and it's always mud and rock so I think I'll give them a try!
I would LOVE if you reviewed and or compared these to the Nito Grapplers. This is a common question at the shop. I have ran the Razr's for quite some time and have thoroughly enjoyed them, although I would like to have someone else's input that actually wheels. Thank you so much, please do not stop pushing content, you are BY FAR the best channel on the internet and would hope that one day can make content like you. Keep up the great work.
Thanks. I have been looking at tires for weeks now. I’m in Colorado and you have convinced me to go with my current number 2 choice, the pro comp mt2. 👍
I certainly like you doing reviews. It helps us guys just getting into off roading ideas of what to (or not to) buy... which is appreciated.
Good man! I'll be happy to do more videos like this 👊
I wish I could go back and give you a thumbs up each time I refer back to your older vids (like this one) to re-learn, or to remember the points you make. I frequently refer to several of your videos multiple times because they are so packed with real, usable information. Thanks again Nate for being such an extraordinary presenter and editor!
I have the Razr in 40" on my TJ. Only two offroad trips so far on them, but they seem pretty good in Appalachian forest mud and slick rocks.
Got these Maxxis razr tires in 35s on my 06 Silverado and they do really good in the hunting woods
I’ve been waiting for a good review on these tires, so thank you Nate for making the video
No prob! Thanks for watching!
Running these on my 2500 gmc in a 37" they do pretty awesome.
Dude, you actually just sat there and admitted you didn't know much about something and didn't try to make up bullshit to cover it up. Right on! Respect.
I bought the 33x10.5x15 Maxxis Razrs for my 81 f150 short bed 4x4 in august and I love them... they are alot quieter on the road than i thought they would given the aggressive tread design and are great in the mud.
Your knowledge helped me a lot!! Thanks!
Props for not just rating the tires but explaining and showing the tire tech that makes them work! Great video!
Thanks man!
I’ve got those BFG on my XJ 265/75 r16. Gotta say I think you’ll be disappointed with them in the snow. They pack so tight that the end up acting as a slick. This is only my personal experience but I would ovoid them. Love to see or hear your opinion. Keep up the good work man.
Really like the honest reviews. Keep them coming!
Thanks! I think I'll start planning more of these
I liked the intro and outro. I like the review and would like to see more.
Been rocking the maxxis razr's for over a year now and i love them.
How are they in dry desert terrain?
I ran a set of these in a 35 on my Ram 2500. I was very happy with their performance. I live in mtns and see alot of different terrain. They worked well for me!
I LOVE the christmas feel at the beginning and end of this video. Also, of course, the turbo spool. YA BABY YA
Thanks! 🎄
I have a set of these on my Sand Rail, when I do trail rides. I live in Arizona, my experience is in deep sand the last thing you want is an aggressive tire you will sink to your axles quick unless your moving fast. Believe it or not a regular street will do well in the sand versus an aggressive tire.
You’re correct on the BFG KO2s being good in snow. I live in upstate NY, and run them on my Range Rover Classic. I do wish they had better mud performance, but as a year-round daily driver, I like them a lot for their versatility.
I'm in upstate N.Y. and the best tire I've found for snow is the General Grabber ATX. They eat it for breakfast.
I’ve been told that many off-road tires have changed their lug size within the pattern itself so that no two are the same size. It’s said that this minimizes the acoustics brought on by air and vibration as the tire rotates on the road. I guess this keeps the tire from resonating and producing a howl. IDK...
It would be cool if you made some sort of graph/chart consisting of every tire you remember running and it's characteristics/rating in each type of terrain
Great info Nate. Loving the editing too! I’m excited to see how my Milestars do this long wet winter in the PNW! ❤️🐞
Thanks! I'm sure you will be very happy with them. I know a few people now that have great things to say🤘
Got these in 37’s on my 2013 Ram Power Wagon. Love these tires. Will absolutely buy again.
I'm getting ready to put on a set of 37-in on my 2005 F350 dually. How did they do on the highway? Do you feel like you should have gone with more of an all-terrain tire or you happy with what you got?
@@mr.dozer.7471 - Really happy with the tire. Very even tread wear, rides very well. Only thing I will change is tire size when it's time to replace. Gonna go down to 35's. Because of the aggressive tread, you will feel a little bumpiness when you first take off from a stop, which can get a little annoying in California stop and go traffic, but it does smooth right out when moving. If you do very little to no offloading, a all terrain may be better for you.
Nice video, great info as usual ! I had BFG Mud on my samy and they were quite dangerous on wet roads (it's my daily) i got Hankook RT03 and man what a surprise ! Awesome on road , outstanding on gravel, need to find the good pressure on mud it's ok, and quite good on snow aswell. Wouldn't go back to BFG Mud ^^
Good review. I'm running maxxis creepy crawlers and I would rate them similar with maybe 4.5 on rocks. However they rip pieces off lugs on real trails so that makes em less durable.
I have Maxxis Razor 772's and super happy with these tires, I don't live in a snow area, but desert area and they perform exceptional!👍
Yep, I love my maxxis rzrs on my jeep!
Honest review. I like how you did a sort of comparison from ko2 (what I have) vs these which I am cosidering getting. I haven't done much mud myself yet but soft sand, rocks, dirt, snow the KO2 have been fine thus far. Appreciate the info.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video 👍. Thank you for watching!
Good job on the review and thanks for the info
Thanks
These tires surprised me being so quiet on the pavement. I have mudded these here in Forks, Wa my home town. And I have been in very wet heavy deep snow in the mountains here at home. Both cases they just ate right through like champs. Very happy. Toyota Tacoma 2 door with LT 275 70r 18
I have those exact tires, size and all, and I'm happy to hear they perform well in the mud and rocks and sand. Currently in Hawaii and headed back to Florida in a month so I'll be playing in all that stuff. Haven't had an opportunity to try mine out yet because 1 ton LS tj problems 🤣
Hope they do good in ocean
Great channel man! Loving the tips and tricks!!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I've had these RAZR MT's now for a year and a half. Had ko'2 previously, these MT's have been far better then expected. I run out here in the Mojave & Colorado Desert of California/AZ. Pure desert trails, flat, rocky, sandy, a little bit of mud. I will be buying again...
Maxxis tires are great I had them on my FJ in a 6ply which was awesome for a light 4x4 daily driver cause the everyday ride quality was there and they were quite and then love them so much i put them on my 97 f350 powerstroke 4x4 4dr LB in a 10ply and they towed well and got me in and out of sticking situations. Most under rated and overlooked tire. I have a jk now and will be putting these on it and recommending them to my jeep group. But you know they will just think I'm a cheap ass cause they think price and name are where it's at lol
I'd like to see a review of the mile star Patagonia. Loved this review especially comparing to other tires for reference.
Hey brother! Through and through your channel is becoming my favorite. Love to see more content like this but also for the more DD who wants a bigger tire and minor escapes to the good life of off-road. Have a 74 J10. Want to run 35’s with R15. Suggestion with a budget? Dana 44’s 4.10 gears. Prefer more of a skinny. Live in GA with that clay! Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Nice! No budget suggestions here. Sounds like a cool project!
I've always been a car guy, then bought a 97' Tahoe that already had a lift & 37" Nitto Mud Grapplers. Great for mud & back roads, absolutely horrible for anything else! 🤣 been looking for a good replacement when they finally wear out but tire shopping is way more complicated than I thought, these reviews help alot!
Glad to hear its helped! Thank you for watching 👊
First video of yours that I've watched and I agree 100% with everything you said.
I'd like to see a review of the molestation Patagonia. Loved this review especially comparing to other tires for reference.
Keep up those sweet videos man! I'd love to see your POV of trail to SEMA tho!
Thanks! I'm working on a trail to sema video but I have a TON of video so the edit is really long
The K02 is in fact considered a snow tire. They have the triple peaks rating on the sidewall. The K02s I have on my Jeep have some big chunks taken out from rock tho. Not as durable as some but still I’ve never had a flat or tear in the sidewall. Tire size 315/75r16
Definitely looking at buying a set of these 👍🏻 I've had my eye on them
We need some more tire reviews. And what your best pick is now after some time!
Great video! Been waiting for you to do a review video on these tires. Have been looking at them for awhile and think I'll get a set. Just need to decide on size now haha.
Thanks man! I appreciate your patience 👊
I live and both in New England. I run the Pro Comp MT2. I have to agree with you, they are a great all around tread. I need something that will handle good on pavement, rocky granite, and shale type off roads, mud, and both wet, and dry snow! I think you are right about these Maxis in snow, which is why I’ve avoided them.
I absolutely love the way your jeep looks 👌
Thank you!
Solid info Nate, thanks and Merry Christmas. Snow wheeling is challenging but enjoyable if you plan on getting stuck and just deal with it. I really enjoy the fabrication content the most probably because I'm not a fabricator and like watching guy's make it, not just buy it.
Thanks brother! Merry Christmas!
I have the same tires in a 37. I have about 15 k on them and drove from Tampa to Moab in June. Like you I have had my fare share of tires. I like these better than the KM2. Mostly on the road. The KM2 was a great all around but I think the Maxxis edges them out. Next set of tires KM3
Just want to say, great content. Glad you left BleepinJeep. Your stuff is good man. Keep it up
Thanks!
I do like knowing what works for other people so more reviews would be nice. Also, I just recently found your channel and I quite like it especially the Dana 30 build (I’m an XJ driver).
Thanks man! Glad you found the channel 🤘
Love the MT’s getting AT’s when I need new tires.
Enjoyable review, thanks. I have the Big Horn Maxxis's on my almost everyday '87 F150. They work better in 4 inches or more snow then on plowed to the ice level. Road noise is lower than I expected on clear roads, or my hearing is worse than I thought lol.
i had a set of them on my truck for a while, only managed to break them loose on sheet ice unless i really tried to break free, liked them more than the km2's that replaced them, but hard to turn down a good deal for how i use them
Thanks for this review. Sound like the Razr is a good all around wheeling tire for Washingtons mud rock trails
I had some BFG that looked pretty close to those. Don't remember the model, but I lived near Buffalo NY and they were great in Snow. BTW, love the channel. Glad I found it.
Thanks man! I'm glad you did too 👍
After watching this video I decided to purchase a set of 4 for mine Military Humvee. I have to say these are the best mud tires I EVER purchase. They are Awesome! Thanks Dirt Lifestyle!!!
Getting a pair of these in a 35 13.50 17r (until I beef up my front axle and go to a 38) for my 2014 Wrangler jk. Was gonna get the Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS, but I would have had to wait for 12 weeks. I have dry rot on my Nitto Mud Grapplers and have to replace them immediately. Considering I have to go over the pass from Seattle to my hometown of Wenatchee, a mud tire that's good on the freeway is (reluctantly) a better idea than the Baja's. These seem like a good compromise. Thanks for the info. I'll be subscribing!
What you said in the start about who has better tires is so true , buddies try to beak my wild peaks but yet never ran them and only ran one all terrain tire before and don’t have a clue we always bicker each other lol but in the end we all have good tires
I like Goodyear mtrs I'm on my 3rd set they do well on my Cherokee. And on my cj5. Ive had 1 set of bfg ko1 and 2 sets of ko2's they wear like iron I gave my set of ko1s to a friend they are 33s and he's still driving on them we did some math and they have over 150k miles on them. I like ko2's for a daily driver I even put some on a 2wd Silverado then some on my wife's Cherokee. I've had super swamper tsl tires and I liked those they actually lasted a while. I've also had super swamper tsl boggers and tsl thornbirds I hated the thorbird tires and the boggers were pretty good but I've been sticking with the mud terrains. The cooper stt mud terrains are also good tires but I haven't tried the stt pro just the one before that came out. The cooper does great in snow a little better than the mtr's I think.
Hey Nate , great video again sir . I like how you give an honest opinion in your review . I would like to see you do more reviews , however I like your projects also .I run KO2's on my TJ and I love them . I don't wheel in the mud if I can help it and the same goes for rocks . I think they work well in the snow although I have had instances where they would slide at low speeds during a stop . I think I'm going to try milestar's next . Curious on what rim size you have on your Jeep . Until next time take care my friend .
Thanks man! My jeep has a 17" rim. I ran a 15" for a while but most tire companies make an r17 for 37s and larger 👍
@@DirtLifestyle Thank you Nate. I run a 15 " on my TJ but thinking about going to 17 " . Not sure if it's really worth it or not. I'm going from 33 " to 35 " so new tires are in the picture anyways.
I’ve had my maxis razr tires for about 30,000 miles and they still look new. After driving mostly country roads, logging roads, mud, snow and during hunting season and they perform very well. Don’t get me wrong they’re on my daily driving new truck so I’m not taking them anywhere like I seen in this video. But for what I use them for they’ve worked great, never gotten stuck.
I bet it is! I use em for all my mountain bikes
I’m running these in 37” on my 2019 JLUR. They are fantastic imo.
Also really digging your videos. You’ve officially sold me on a long arm kit for my TJ
Thanks man! Glad you enjoying the videos!
When the 20/21 winter is finished, perhaps a 1 year follow up on the 'snow' review
Nate- have you driven the street legal trepadors yet? Your reviews are awesome so I'd love to see your take on them and how they compare to the Razrs
Love the tire videos, but especially the wiring ones.
Awesome vid thanks dude
Great video. 2005 F350 cab and Chassis dually 4-wheel drive. Yes it's built from the ground up with 8 inch lift 48 gears 6-speed manual. Tomorrow I have a choice. The Maxxis Razr 37x12.50r17 or Mazama open range 35 1250 17. I'm currently running 37 now with no problems my front differential has been moved forward 1 and 1/4 inch. I do a lot of highway driving but when I go off-road hunting I do stupid off-road maneuvers. I guess my question to you is how do you think these Maxis razors will do on 11k dually? Keep in mind I do a lot of hauling regarding fifth wheels and 38-foot offshore racing boats.
That word takes me back to VHS where everyone had it “eject” button
Me too man!
Absolutely love yoir straight down to the dirty and objective video. Maybe a little bit elementary for me in tour approach, but still totally kick ass what I need to know 411. Who are you on social media? Are you in WORN?
I run the creepy crawlers in 37 which looks to be the same tire. I liked them for durability but traction in the rocks is not great without beadlocks. They need to be aired down to about 5 psi to grip but man are they tough. Only time I cut one was a roll over in Moab that pulled the tire off the wheel then shoved the wheel through the sidewalk when the Jeep landed on it. I have peeled two steel.wheel apart on the rocks and not hurt the tires. I'd really like to see more reviews especially on tires
I air these down to 5psi for the same reasons. I'll definitely start planing more reviews. Thanks for watching 👊
When the KO2s wear out, you should try out Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. They have been a tremendously great tire for my Jeep and they actually do exceptionally well in mud, surprisingly. I plan to run a Milestar Patagonia M/T next. Great video and keep up the great work!
Michael Nord you will be lucky to get 20k out of a set of Patagonia’s. Plus they are not impressive in the mud compared to trail grapplers.
Jeromy Greiner thank you for the input! I’ve been really interested to see what people have to say about them. I have seen a few videos on here on them and they have been raving about how good they are.
more reviews!!! its helps us and it helps you, if you do more more companies will engage you
I have 39.5 iroks on my truck. Gotta agree they work pretty good but they didn't wear well and have been shaking the shit out of my truck. Going to put the treps on tomorrow probably.
Run some Hercules Trail Diggers. They are BAD ASS! Mud, clay, snow as far as it's deep. Very good on the highways. Loved mine!
Running the maxxis bighorns on my explorer buggy. super cheap tires that have held up and perform great. Basically a less agressive knockoff tsl in tread pattern. they were like $600 new installed for set of 33s, thx china. Wish someone would make gateway buckshots in bigger sizes than 33.
We have RAZRs on our jeep. 33" tires. IMO they are great in the snow FOR AN MT. They are not as good as an AT but I'm not sure there in an MT that will out perform them in snow.
Excellent review Nate. And you have the trail time to backup the ratings you provided. Nothing like seeing a 5 star rating on a product with "I haven't used it yet, but it arrived on time, as promised. " SMH Some of those shots of your rig looked like a RC car. Very cool.
Thanks man! Folks have been asking my opinion on these for awhile but I think you need to "season" the tires a little bit before you can give an educated opinion. Thanks for watching!
Love them just got mine on my 03 gmc 1500.
The KO2's are really good in dry snow.
But they suck in 1 inch of slush or on ice. I noticed considerable more wheel spin at the start of a storm vs the end of the storm (on a 3rd ten T4R). Overall they are a good AT tire
Love these tires have a set in 35 they absolutely do sling out the mud and there good in snow to I think
Good price. Tread not aggressive enough.... i wish it was deeper and had more side lugs.
Great review.......have you ever reviewed the cooper stt pro or Goodyear wrangler Kevlar m/t?
My honest revies, 3 years now-these tires are awesome out in the Ca-NV-Deserts. My next set will be Razr MT again!
you should sell decals with your logo design it is just sick!!. Also your content it is fenomenal, really enjoying your videos so far.
Thank you! We are working on more stickers and swag
