Maxxis HT770 Bravo

Engineered for everyday driving, the Maxxis HT770 Bravo delivers quiet, confident performance on New Zealand highways and around town. Its advanced multi-pitch tread and closed shoulders cut road noise, while four wide grooves and fine sipes clear water fast for secure wet-weather grip. A durable compound and optimised contact patch promote even wear and long kilometres, with stable handling and braking under load for SUVs and utes. If you want comfort, control and value from a trusted brand, choose the Maxxis HT770 Bravo and get it fitted today.

Variable-pitch tread blocks. The Maxxis HT770 Bravo uses a computer-optimised variable pitch sequence across the tread to stagger block resonance, disrupting standing waves that typically amplify cabin noise. The result is a lower broadband noise signature on coarse NZ chipseal and smooth asphalt, without sacrificing tread stiffness. By controlling leading and trailing edge timing and chamfer geometry, the pattern minimises air pumping and impact excitation, delivering a calmer, premium highway ride that complements modern SUVs and utes.

Wide circumferential grooves. Deep, wide circumferential channels integrate with lateral notches to accelerate water evacuation from the contact patch, reducing hydrodynamic lift and maintaining rubber–road adhesion in heavy rain. The groove cross-section is tuned to resist collapse under load, preserving void volume at speed and helping the HT770 Bravo sustain steering authority and short wet stopping distances on New Zealand’s diverse surfaces.

Continuous centre rib. A solid on-centre rib stabilises the footprint and suppresses tread squirm for precise straight-line tracking and confident lane changes. This increases on-centre feel, reduces micro-scrub that can cause irregular wear, and improves stability when carrying loads or towing. The reinforced rib couples with the shoulder elements to transmit steering inputs cleanly, so the Maxxis HT770 Bravo feels settled and predictable at open-road speeds.

Jointless nylon cap ply. A spiral-wound, jointless nylon cap overlay spans the steel belt package to control centrifugal growth, enhance uniformity and improve high-speed durability. By binding the belt edges and distributing stress, this construction reduces heat build-up, resists belt edge separation, and maintains a consistent contact patch across the tyre’s life. For daily highway commuting and long-distance touring, the HT770 Bravo’s carcass engineering delivers stable handling and long-term reliability.

Silica-infused tread compound. The advanced silica-enriched polymer blend lowers hysteresis for reduced rolling resistance while boosting wet traction through increased filler–polymer interaction at lower temperatures. This chemistry helps the Maxxis HT770 Bravo remain supple in cooler conditions, increases micro-scale grip on wet chipseal, and slows abrasion for even wear, translating to dependable braking, improved fuel efficiency and a lower cost per kilometre.
