Well I went to the local maxxis dealer to pick up a set of tires today and they told me the buckshot mudders that i have been running on my trucks for the last four years are now DISCONTINUED

but they told me that maxxis didnt actually make the tire---Another company called Gateway Tire made them for Maxxis

I have been searching for these tires all day and cant find any so PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE GUYS

Thanks
Jake

 

I bought mine off eBay.

There are 2 brands of "Buckshot Mudders"

The older Gateway brand is a more crude industrial type of tire and IMO a better tire. I guess gateway has all but gone out of business but still make acouple radial sizes and a few bias sizes.

"Maxxis" brand are more road friendly radials which dont flatspot but are softer and a little rounder tread.

I've been trying to find 305/85 16 gateway radial mudders for about a year now, tall and narrow 10ply's with 3600+lb load rating, great tire I've had before but very scarce. Did find a set at the local LesSchwab for $1174, but all Maxxis sizes are readily availible.

I also did EBAY for our 315 Maxxis Mudders. Discount Tire wanted over $200 each before certs. With the amount I saved I can afford to buy two more if they get damaged. I got them with shipping included and mount and balanced at a friends shop. So far they have been a good tire. They have 5K with no noticable wear yet and have been outstanding in mud and rock (even very loose base) hills.

i dont know where blanket texas is but there is a tire shop in wylie tx called wylie tire little rat hole shop he can get them things really cheap he was about 300 less after mounting and balancing on my 315/75/16 i ran on the superduky i had

 

E-bay here too. It cost me $500 for a set of 4, 315's. The only problem I have with them is they got choppy in the front. I simply rotated them, and now they are clearing up. I have about 25k miles on them, and 1/2 the tread left.

 

Even better then the price I got. I got them three months ago though.

i checked out ebay last night...found buckshot mudders for $550 no shipping in 285, 305 and 315 size tires

 

You mean no charge for shipping? That's what mine where. I paid six. A place in florida. It was the best deal at the time and I was in bad need of time. I had destroyed one with screws and the other blew the sidewall on a rounded rock. I had to buy a tire on an Elk hunt and barrow my F-in-L spare. I got a used 315 and it is the spare now.Just won fit under the truck. I need a cover for it.

Found this old thread, anyone running the Buckshots? I had a set many years ago and they were one of the best tires I ever used. Technology has changed since then, so there must be other options but is anyone running the Buckshot Maxiis?

 

I had some of those buckshots. Had a small rock embed itself in the tire and it started leaking. Not one of the better set of tires I've ever had. I just bought some Dunlop mudrovers. I love the tread pattern and got them for $135 a piece at the goodyear dealer. You should check them out if you can't get the buckshots.
