I think the 6-ply is what I'll get even though they were designed for the heavier SidexSides and larger 2-up ATVs. I'm sure with the stiffer sidewalls and 6-ply they won’t ride or handle quite as good as the regular ACTs.

My friend has all kinds of tires so the more I ruin the more different tires I get to try.

He did offer to let me ride a trail and come in and change to Big Horns and go right back out on the same trail so I could see the difference immediately but I never got the chance.

I wonder if there is something similar to that for smaller tires, etc.. That would be the way to go; as long as the tires don't become "hard as a rock".

I think weight would be a concern too.
