D-MAX LOOKING RAZR SHARP

MAXXIS MT-772 RAZR INITIAL IMPRESSIONS AFTER 5000KM OF USE.

- EVANS PENCE

LET’S be honest, the factory tyres on 4X4 Australia’s D-MAX were never going to stay on for long. They just aren’t up to the task for what we have been and will continue to put this vehicle through. Not to mention, as you would have seen in the last issue of 4X4 Australia, we’ve since installed a Tough Dog 40mm lift, so the stock tyres were looking a bit undercooked.

So, what did we decide to do? I use the word decide, as Editor Matt and myself spent a considerable amount of time deciding what the best wheel and tyre combination would be. As this is a showpiece for the magazine, we wanted it to look good. At the same token, it had to be street legal. This is where a compromise was reached, and instead of running the biggest rubber we could squeeze in the guards, we chose some of the most aggressive we could find.
