| how do you like to ride?? just trail, mud,rocks?
i run 27s on my rhino and any bigger they will rub some. i had the xtrs on the rhino for years but got lots of holes in them. but was great tires. my xtrs was some of the very first ones and itp as changed the rubber compound and they say they are better now. i have swamp lites on the rhino now but i have only put 200 to 300 miles on them and happy with them so far.
i like the tread pattern on the big horns and gbc dirt tammers and they work great in all areas but hard core mud riding. |

| I have Big Horns and have to say that they have held up better than any other tires that I have ever owned and seem to be good in most "normal" trail conditions (hardpack, sand, mud, etc.). Not tires to take to the swamp though, which seems to have been covered in the posts above. Good Luck! | |

| I go over 5000 miles on my 26" Bighorns on my Rubicon with no flats. Most of that has been in WV. I'm running new 26" Bighorns on my Rzr with over 1500 miles and love them. Great mountain/rock tire. They are good in the mud but not great. Highly recommend them for WV. | |

| Guys and Gals, thanks for all of the feedback so far. I am a super rookie when it comes to the utv's. I have ridden quads for years but the two are different animals. I am leaning towards 27 inch original bighorns. Our trails are a good mix of everything, dirt, rock, mud, etc. I am looking hard at hunterworks greaseless weights and sliders to keep or add some low end. | |

| I've been reading about Pitbull tires recently and they seem to be making some noise in the side by side and atv market. Check this link for more info. They really look like an awesome tire. At the end of the review the guy says they are the only tire he's ever tested to be better in his opinion than a bighorn for all around tire. http://www.jacobsatvmagazine.com/tmp/pit_bull_tires/pit_bull_tires.html | |

| These tires are getting great reviews in the regular atv market as well. $0.02. | |

| Running GBC Grim Reapers right now - if I were to buy tires again right now, I would really look into the pitbulls like these guys have said, they really look awesome. | |

| Guys, I just had a set of the 26.5 rockers on order for $455 shipped untill I found out the weight. These bad boys are weighing in at 36lbs a piece for the fronts and 39 lbs a piece for the rears. I instantly called and cancelled my order. I know we are Wv residence but we can tell that that is heavy!!!!! These would have killed my rhino. | |

| I run Maxxis Ceros ---- I got them at a good price & decided to try them out. Very happy so far & have about 500 miles on them. Would buy them again. I have run several different tires through the years. Just make sure to go with a tire that is made for a SXS. | |
