Sounds like Big Horn Country to Me

They will fit on the stock rims

I had 5384 miles on my first set and could have got another 800 miles on the fronts

Awesome, that was very helpful.

These are definately the tires for me, at 26" I think. I don't want to lift though, will 26" be ok even if my shocks are close to bottoming out? I'd just rather not have a surprise rub somewhere in the future.

Also, should i keep the small front width, large back ratio? Or should all the tires be the same size?

I'd really suggest 26X9X12 (front) and 26X12X12
(rear) I did not have any issues with the stock
shocks and no lift, However I did install a set of
OEM Honda CTE shocks and what a improvement

I'm still playing around with the adjusters on them and making notes for my upcoming review

Here is the topic on that;

Your Welcome

Remember to 'Play' with the psi until you
find your happy place

I'll be looking forward to your comments [/quote]

Yeah, probably wont be for a bit though, I wanna run the stocks some more. Not sure, I might run the bighorns in the fall/winter and the stocks spring/summer.

What do people normally run their stocks at for psi?

Psi's will always differ depending on who
your talking to,trail conditions,weather and
what's loaded on it

Thats why I carry a mini compressor,it just
takes a moment to dial her

I suppose i should pickup a low psi pump with an accurate psi gauge on it.

What's a decent brand?[/quote]

I use this for all of the vehicles but it stays on
the Rubicon.

So I went out today, with the intent on going until I could go no further, up the mountain behind where I live.

I'm quite lucky, I'm literally a 5 minute drive on my quad away from taking some serious mountain trails.

Anyhow, I put 60KM on my quad today, and I was literally plowing through snow, when it got to be 2ft deep (literally 2ft, I jumped out and the snow went up to my knees, and I measured it when I got home) things became almost impassable. It seemed, though, that my tires were holding me back.

My front end would 'hop' as I pushed forward, gaining and losing traction very rapidly, so I was curious how deep people have gone with the Bighorns. I'd love to take on that last hill one more time....I got half way up before I got sick of it and turned back. I'm still very impressed with the stock tires, they did a good job.

Good day though! There wasn't a **** thing except the really deep snow I couldn't handle with my Foreman, I'm very very happy with my purchase. I took snowy hills I never would have imagined I could climb, but it did!

I was up around 8000ft along the Mogollon Rim
the snow came up just a little over half way up
the tires

This picture was when we rode down to about 5000ft
A buddy and myself had to blaze the trail as our other riding buddies has issues with their belts
slipping




If your impressed with what the stock tires will
do wait till ya get your Horns
