2.0 are an improvement over the original BHs but still lack in good lateral control.

What I have seen over the years is because of BHs popularity its the first tire people buy to replace their OE tires.

Being better than the OE they feel they are great tires and they are when compared to the OE tires.

If people could have 4-5 different sets of tires already mounted on rims and could ride 20-30 miles and then swap tires for a different set and then ride the same 20-30 miles I believe that their choice in tires would change.

Mine too.



On another note, what's Doug up to lately? Is he ever going to get back on tv? If not, he should change his business name. And what's up with all the non-atv reviews he's been doing? I get Youtube notifications that he posted another ATV video and when I check it out, he's talking about %#$# RZR's again or tires for an SUV!! I miss the good old days.

No more TV for Doug - he's actually retired and just messes around for fun.

He had 3 TV shows a one time and one of them was an 4x4 off-road show so he still plays with that stuff too.

Doug has a new RZR 900 Trail machine so expect more notifications. And yes - I give him crap about having a RZR.

His favorite ATV is the Suzuki King Quad and he about died when I told him what I was going to buy.

We're going to do a few things to my BF too including some tire testing - I'm looking forward to that.

I gave mine a bath today;

What trail is that?

Laughed when I was the "Most difficult" sticker on your quad. Still trying to decide if that applies to a) the rider , b) the quad, c) the trails, or d) all of the above.

Thanks for the info.

I like the KQ very much, but after you've ridden a Brute, you just can't go back to a one lung machine again!

Moose - that's PST 15 that parallels I-70 - it's actually "Fish Creek" that I was riding through.


I got out for a short ride up to Barney Lake with Doug yesterday after shooting some footage for another video on making his new KQ more trail worthy.

I told him if he wants a more trail worthy ATV he should get him a new BF.

He loves his KQ and I love my BF.

I'm sure you know where it came from.

Hey Specta, whats your MPG like? On my 2013 I think I'm getting about 12 MPG, but I only have about 100 miles on it. Not really broken in. Anyway does your fuel gage vary a great deal in hilly terrain?
