After yesterdays 175 mile run through the Barry Goldwater range, I now have 2600 miles on my Bighorns! The Best off road tire for the Rhino made! I have beat the Heck out of mine and they are still good. Anyone else??    Report

I think that when it looks cool to have the big tires they are alot harder to steer especaially on pavement. I would stick with smaller ones up front. That is me. I have drove them both ways and prefer the smaller. To answer your question, I know that some people run them but don't know if there is more floatation/traction on the front.    Report

The last time I was at Jerico I aired down my stock tires to 12lbs from 35lbs (which is what they were at from the dealer) and I got a lot better flotation in the sand. I also took my rhino up to the mountains in South Eastern Idaho two weeks ago with the 12lbs of air in them and they did just fine too. Justin    Report

Justin, as I understand it the 35/lbs is max preasure when mounting the tire. Running preasure much lower, 8-16/lbs (max). I think your dealer forgot to release some preasure after mounting. I have heard some people run 3-4 lbs in the sand.    Report

06-06-2007, 8:52 AM Badley Joined on 02-06-2007 Spanish Fork, UT Posts 84 Re: Maxxis Bighorns IMO The Best! I would say you have the record! (but I have little experience) Mine are just getting broken in -250! I will likely spend more time in the rock and on trails than in the sand so I expect them to wear. I have noticed that pavement causes a lot of wear. Do you spend most of your time in the sand? I would be interested in a close up photo of the tread you have left - you were still throwing some sand in the video :)    Report

Okay, so I know I'm getting Big Horns, a large majority of people I ride with use them with excellent results. My question is, I want to keep my stock SE rims and just get the tires, so what tire size should I order if I want to go just one size bigger than the stock tires for front and back?  And will they fit on the stock SE rims?  Thanks for any input!    Report

I was looking at the bighorns and found them to be much simular in tread wear and grip. Shop around, I have a link in Ohio that will sell the ITP terracross 26" set with ss112 wheels for under 700 shipped to your door.    Report
