Maxxis MA751 Bravo 195R15C 106R

Engineered for Kiwi utes and SUVs, the Maxxis MA751 Bravo 195R15C 106R is a proven all-terrain tyre that pairs on-road comfort with off-road confidence. A tough, cut and chip resistant compound and reinforced casing shrug off gravel and farm tracks, while interlocking tread blocks and multi-sipes enhance wet grip and braking. The balanced tread pattern keeps noise down and wear even for long life, and sturdy sidewalls aid stability when towing or loaded.

All-terrain tread geometry. The Maxxis MA751 Bravo 195R15C 106R uses interlocking centre blocks with a balanced void ratio and zigzag siping to generate dense lateral and longitudinal biting edges, improving traction when transitioning from sealed to shingle, clay or grass surfaces. Stepped groove walls promote self-cleaning, maintaining block exposure so the tyre keeps pulling in light mud and on wet paddocks. A stabilised centre rib lowers tread squirm for precise on-centre feel and shorter braking distances on chipseal. Optimised contact-pressure distribution enhances footprint stability under load, delivering consistent grip for utes and SUVs across New Zealand’s coarse aggregate road network.

Cut-and-chip resistant compound. A specialised cut-and-chip resistant tread formulation combines abrasion-resistant polymers with high-dispersion carbon black and silica to raise tear strength and resist chunking from sharp scoria and river metal. The compound’s tuned cross-link density lowers hysteretic heat build-up on long highway hauls, protecting the casing and helping prevent heat-related irregular wear. By minimising micro-tears at the leading edges of the blocks, the MA751 Bravo maintains lug integrity, preserving traction and extending service life on forestry tracks and high-friction chipseal. The result is a lower cost per kilometre without sacrificing wet grip performance in cooler New Zealand conditions.

Reinforced dual-steel belts. Twin high-tensile steel belts, supported by a robust polyester casing and a nylon reinforcement layer, stabilise the tread package to reduce deformation under towing and heavy payloads. This construction enhances puncture resistance and keeps the contact patch uniform, improving steering accuracy and braking response at open-road speeds. Superior belt edge stability helps resist impact damage from potholes and corrugations, while promoting even wear across the shoulders. The Maxxis MA751 Bravo 195R15C 106R’s carcass design also improves retentive air seal and reduces radial force variation, contributing to smoother ride quality on coarse chip.

Staggered shoulder lugs. Aggressively staggered shoulder blocks with open lateral channels deliver strong side bite in ruts and on loose gravel, while helping evacuate mud and slush away from the footprint. The stepped shoulder geometry increases edge density at high slip angles, improving recovery from understeer and enhancing traction when aired down for rough tracks. Reinforced shoulder buttressing distributes shear stress to reduce feathering and scalloping, preserving on-road stability and wear life. This design protects the upper sidewall from abrasions and helps deflect debris that could otherwise damage the bead area.

Multi-pitch noise tuning. A variable pitch sequence across the tread rows breaks up tonal harmonics that cause pattern roar, cutting cabin noise on New Zealand’s coarse chip highways without compromising the tyre’s off-road voids. Chamfered block edges and optimised sipe placement reduce air pumping and pressure gradients at the leading edges, lowering pass-by noise and improving NVH. The uniformity afforded by the tread-belt package further minimises vibration, delivering a quieter, more composed ride in SUVs and double-cab utes. This acoustic engineering lets the MA751 Bravo provide all-terrain capability with refined on-road manners.
