Sooner, Was it just my eyes playing tricks on me sunday.... To me it looked like the 2.0s tread bars were skinnier than my originals. Both of us had 27s and his definitely looked like it had a more narrow tread than mine. Like I said it could have been my eyes/

Honestly I think it's just a gimmick to sell tires with less rubber on then to make more money by calling them a "Sport" tire

The original BH's will last forever, and are Great for trail riding, but it comes at a price, less clean out then many of the newer brand tires, quite of roll in off camber, Weight.but if your going to be HARD on a set of tires they can take the punishment.

Hope it helps

OK I thought you did, I know you were talkin about them. YEa the originals are great, mine have about 2k on them and they show minimal signs of wear.

No trick. The tread pattern is very similar, similar rubber compound, but the 2.0s have narrower lugs (or larger spacing). On flat ground the originals put more rubber on the ground. We don't spend much time on flat ground.

On the technical rides, I haven't experienced much difference between the two. If I were forced to choose, I would say the 2.0s had more of a tendency to bite on the steep rocky inclines. But that's not a fair comparison considering I ran original BHs on our Ranchers with a SRA and on the Can-Am with 60 HP. Until I can compare the 2 on the same model, I can't say.

Wat late to this thread...
Have to stay with a stock and silent Foreman..... for the same reason I have 9 toes, parked the '63 Sportster, sold the Jag and bought a Ford truck....
I have a personal problem.. you might say a weakness...

But I'd give a case of beer for a single turn at the strip, and match e.t.'s for a second case (and win the first one back!!)
