Default Tire help?

Has anyone tried the ITP Terracross R/T's or the Maxxis Bighorn's on their Sportsmans? I ride mostly dirt trails hard packed, some mud, rocky and/or gravel trails. Any Help?

I just bought a set of Terracross for my Sportsman, they are awesome! There's really no comparison to stock as far as traction is concerned.

I haven't had much of a chance to ride in mud yet this year. Our trails just opened up about ten days ago. They work lots better in sand and snow compared to the stock tires, I'm hoping for the same gains in mud.

I'll post some pics soon.

I put Maxis BigHorn on my 800 and they are great. They have held up greatI think I have a picture in my pictures that show the ride with them on. I did have to install 1" spacers on the front to miss the shocks
I have 26x9x12 and 26x12x12
Love them and they are some of the best on rocks and dirt and i like them better than the 589s I have on one of my last bikes as far as snow/mudd goes just my opinion

I'm sold on the Big horns. I have them on my MV7 Polaris. They are the best out of all the tires I've used thus far. I ride in the western US.
