Maxxis M8060 Trepador
- Capable on rocks (radial and bias-ply)
- Radial version handles well on-road
- No tread-wear warranty
- Very expensive
- Unpredictable mud traction
The expensive Maxxis M8060 Trepador gets high ratings from owners at Offroaders.com, although there aren't many written reviews to back up the numbers, and it impresses experts in a rock-climbing test at Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road. But the radial Trepador places dead last in a mud-tire test at Four Wheeler magazine after its stiff rubber fails to grip in sloppy mud. The Trepador also comes in a bias-ply version, but Petersen's tester points out that it costs more and drives worse on-road than the radial. Overall, experts prefer other mud tires such as the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar (*Est. $210) .
Experts at Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road test the bias-ply and radial versions of the Maxxis M8060 Trepador on rocks. Four Wheeler magazine tests the radial version in mud, and owners at Offroaders.com report on the radial Trepador's real-life performance.
Our Sources
1. Petersen's 4 Wheel & Off Road
This rock-crawling test pits the radial Maxxis 8060 Trepador against the bias-ply version. The bias-ply tires hold the advantage, but the radial also impresses, and it's better for driving on-road.

2. Four Wheeler
In this mud-only test, the Maxxis M8060 Trepador radial finishes last out of 10 mud tires. Stiff rubber keeps it stable on-road, but mud traction is unpredictable.
