Replacement tires on a RINCON
it all boils down to preferance. I had a Rincon and preferred stock tires. I felt the mudlites were too stiff. Also they are much heavier. I raced my buddy once and I was running stocks and he was running with ITP 589s, at 25 mph or so it looked like he hit the brakes. If we both ran stocks he would beat me every time, i outweigh him by 100 lbs. So changing tires can drastically change your bike, sometimes for the good and sometimes for the worse. We ride in the winter on hardpack groomed trails, and with stock tires at 3 psi, I could pull away from my buddies with mudlites. They were in 4wd just to keep up in a drag race, and I would wheelie while pulling away. But in the deep snow where 4wd was a must they a lot more traction and could easily get through stuff that I struggled in.

Replacement tires on a RINCON
Radials are supposed to provide a bit more compliant ride by the way they flex, and might have a traction advantage.
What kind of conditions and surfaces do you ride?
I understand Bighorns handle well and hold up to sharp rocks and sticks, but don't do that great in deep mud or in sand.
The new Terra Cross radials look like they might be a good all round tire...
