no problem.
You got to mess around with tire pressure- I've run from 7 all the way down to 3 pounds and while the traction was excellent in everything, the ride was 'soft'. It rolled too much in turns. I'm back to 4.5 back and 4 in the front
I'll play around but thats where its at now, its easier to steer. 3 pounds in the front was a workout on the forearms.

Default report on new Maxxis BigHorns

I have put 1800 miles on my BH radials in the last 9 months. Mostly hard fast trail riding on the rocky trails in the Arkansas mountains and 500 miles on the Pauite trails in Utah. I have never had a traction problems wet or dry, they run great fast or slow with no wobble or vibrtation. Usually run the fronts between 4 1/2 and 5 1/4 psi, rears about 1/2 psi less.

The only problem I have is that they appear to be good for another 1800 plus miles and I really want to try some in 26" or 27".
