Overview
The Maxxis Bighorn LT275/70R18 (part number MXXTL37622000) is a mud terrain tire for 18-inch rims, with a 275 section width and a 70 aspect ratio, based on the Maxxis MT-762.
The MT-762 tread is built for off-road durability and toughness, and it has been used in short course off-road racing. A jointless spiral-wound cap ply supports ride quality and durability, and the tire carries an M&S All-Season rating.
Tread details include staggered shoulder lugs for traction on uneven ground, and deep tread blocks with a large void-ratio pattern for self-cleaning in mud. The sidewall is heavy-duty to resist punctures on rough terrain, and some sizes have three body plies. The shoulder blocks are pinned for studs for winter use, and Maxxis asks you to make sure studs are legal in your area.
The tire is 12 inches wide and under 30 inches tall. LT275/70R18 denotes a light truck tire with a 275 section width, 70 aspect ratio and 18-inch rim.

Tread care and inspection
Mud terrain tires wear differently from road tires, so regular inspection matters. Check the tread for cuts, chunking and uneven wear around the shoulders, where the staggered lugs take the most load on rough ground. Look at the sidewalls after hard trail use, since sharp rock contact can leave damage that is hard to see from the tread face. Keep the tire inflated to a pressure suited to your load and terrain, because low pressure increases sidewall flex and heat.
Rotation and balance help a set wear evenly. If the tread wears on one side, check alignment, suspension components and tire pressure before blaming the tire itself. Studded shoulder blocks need the same checks, and studs should be inspected for looseness or missing pins before winter use. Clean mud from the tread after rides so debris does not hide damage.
- Inspect sidewalls and shoulders after rough trail runs
- Check balance after mounting and after any rim change
- Re-check stud pins before each winter season
