Maxxis bravo HT 770

I am nearing the time to replace my tires. I have been looking into the Maxxis bravo HT 770 LT 245/75R16. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with these tires. I purchase m8008 tires for the TT already.
I currently run Cooper HT3 LT 265/75R16 currently 41K with rotation and balancing. I have been happy with cooper tires (all of my tires have been cooper LT or a cooper owned brand for many years. They just happen to be getting quite proud of their tires. Edited to add..
I am looking to go down to the smaller tire because I am looking to get my gearing back as the truck came stock with P225/75r16XL however I do not want tires that small and narrow on it they don’t do well in anything any more slick than gravel with a two week drive long bed club cab.
A new truck is not on the purchase list at the moment.
  • What percentage did you determine will return back in gearing with this change?
  • From a current 3.24 effective gearing to 3.36 effective gear. Originally 3.5
    It’s not much but every bit helps
