FYI: the 25" radial Bighorns are heavier tires than the 25" bearclaws. The bias version Bighorns are much lighter than both tires, but Maxxis stopped making them and no one seems to have them in stock anymore. I was told by a Maxxis rep. that they are working on making the radial Bighorns lighter for the future.

thanks for the info..ive got 26 inch kendas on right now so I would imagine that the weight is gonna be similar..the kendas are not balanced well or one is slightly larger than the other..the wobble was extreme..and the ride is harsh..I dont do enuff mudding to warrent the sacrifice in ride...

Badlands XTR radials are $230 shipped (all 4) from tiresunlimited. I have em but haven't ridden anywhere expect on pavement. They feel real good so far.

The XTR doesn't come in 11" wide. See carlisle's website: here and scroll to the bottom. Might be slow, it is a pdf.
