Radial MT-class mud tires with large herringbone blocks and durable sidewalls, designed for serious off-road conditions. The aggressive directional tread pattern of the Maxxis M8060 Trepador M8060 Comp proved to be so good off-road that it served as the basis for an extreme diagonal model with the same index, created especially for professional participation in heavy trophy raids. At the same time, the original Trepador M8060 Comp with a radial carcass is a full-fledged off-road rubber, only more comfortable on hard roads and differing in its abilities only in the most severe conditions. It already in itself makes it possible to significantly improve cross-country ability, and a large range of sizes allows you to choose the right tires for a car of any level of training. Maxxis M8060 in size 185 / 85R16 makes sense to buy for light compact SUVs that spend a significant amount of time off the pavement, and regularly participate in difficult off-road trips and amateur competitions.
Reasons to buy Maxxis M-8060 Trepador M8060 Comp
- passable SUV
- The breadth of preferences in choosing a route
- the desire to combine the harsh virgin soil with smooth asphalt
- The relatively low noise level
- price
The Maxxis M8060 Trepador M8060 Comp is a clever compromise for when you want a bit meaner tires but doesn’t put up with the disadvantages of extreme tires in normal day-to-day use on hard roads. The developers of this model managed to achieve acceptable quietness and comfort on the asphalt, tenacity on slippery graders, confidence on loose soils, and softness on bumpy roads with very strong sidewalls from an aggressive "tree" with large checkers. Another plus of rubber with a radial carcass is a higher resource when driving on hard roads in comparison with diagonal counterparts.
In Spanish, Trepador M8060 Comp can be either a noun or an adjective. In the first case, it is translated as "steeplejack", in the second as "creeping". Both meanings correctly reflect the capabilities of the M8060. In the mountains, this durable rubber allows you to safely climb rocky steeps without fear of tearing the sidewalls, and in mud, its grip properties are sufficient to overcome the lion's share of average obstacles in tension. At the same time, even in muddy clay under the shower, the car will adequately obey the steering wheel and, despite the slopes of the terrain, will continue, clinging to the last, go where the driver directs it.
The depth and adhesion properties of the tread of the radial "Trepador M8060 Comps" turned out to be optimal for use in civilian mode: on the one hand, the tires adhere well to viscous and slippery ground, on the other hand, they allow you to drive without fear with intensive slipping and forgive gross mistakes with excessive gas. In this case, the Trepador M8060 Comp has less risk of tearing a standard transmission compared to a rigid extreme "diagonal". Yes, and digs deep into the depths, as soon as the forward movement has ended, this modification of the M8060 is less intense. The tires are perfectly adapted to driving at low pressures and flatten well, significantly increasing traction on the wheels with every tenth of an atmosphere dropped from one and below. If the rubber is well fixed on the discs, then on very weak surfaces such as swamps, quicksand, or deep-frozen snow, it makes sense to blow it to zero. Interesting fact: Although the solid sidewalls are impressively thick, the internal pressure in the radial Trepador M8060 Comp can be visually assessed quite accurately by the way the wheel is flattened.
Despite the moderate relief of the sidewalls, the M8060 confidently walks along deep ruts, and if forward movement already fails, Maxxis in most cases leaves good chances to return backward in its tracks and find a detour on an unsuccessful trajectory. The tires do an excellent job with rocks, confidently overcome viscous clay, work with dignity on loose sand and gravel, and hold up decently on weak soils. In general, the M8060 performs well in a wide range of off-road conditions. For constant use in winter, this rubber, like the vast majority of MTs, is not recommended, although if necessary, you can safely conquer deep snow with the Trepador M8060 Comp - the tread here is relatively soft and with large sipes.
In terms of its resource, this Maxxis does not stand out in either direction. It grinds at an average pace by the standards of mud tires and fairly evenly in speed, but the development on the blocks usually goes in steps, which is why, as wear and tear, the handling decreases proportionally, as well as the driving and acoustic comfort on hard roads. Interestingly, at the same time, working qualities on the off-road suffer to a much lesser extent.
The Maxxis M8060 Trepador M8060 Comp is very close to extreme tires in its extreme capabilities in mud, although it does not cross the MT / XT class boundary. But in terms of the sum of the characteristics, for many, this option will be preferable: on this rubber, it is easier to combine complex off-road races with the everyday urban operation.
Radial Maxxis can be recommended to the always busy jeep, who loves to make some incredible off-road raid, but, for various reasons, usually gets out only for short-distance rides. But every weekend and sometimes very difficult. At the same time, the car can be operated during the whole working week on a banal route from home to work and back. Also, due to its durability, this model is well suited for conquering mountain routes, where normal primers will alternate with rocks and clay slopes. Moreover, it can be advised both to those who live in such areas permanently, and to those who are going there on a fairly long trip. In addition, it makes sense to pay attention to "Maxis" for amateur athletes performing in the club trophy.
Picture
The textured tread with massive blocks and numerous side lugs provides an abundance of effective points of contact with any surface. The soft rubber compound allows for a snug fit on every unevenness and thus significantly increases the overall traction. The directional pattern gives the right level of grip on wet and slippery surfaces. Wide grooves provide self-cleaning on sticky substrates.
Strength
Heavy-duty nylon carcass with ribs and a protective rim to maximize the tire's impact and cutting resistance.
Professional approach
The M-8060 Trepador M8060 Comp Comp with an extremely strong diagonal line and more powerful lateral hooks has been created for experienced conquerors of wild off-road conditions.
Underwater rocks
You need to be careful in the sand - it's easy to bury yourself. The tire is heavy, which affects vehicle dynamics and fuel consumption. Under heavy braking on wet asphalt, swinging is possible. There may be problems with balancing, the 180 crank helps. Some popular positions are missing in the range of sizes. The actual outside diameter is less than the markings, with an average difference of half an inch.
