Looks like these Pit Bull UBER XOR's are in the running now too.

KFI? Kawasaki Fouling Invader??? Kawasaki Fearing Immigrants? Sounds like your original Honda winch. What was that one? Ralph's Winch Co. or something like that?

I think I had a KFI on my Rubicon.

I happily take whatever Doug gives me.

Good stuff. Beergut had a set of the Uber Rockers on a Can-Am. He liked them a lot.

I like to use this as a reference (below) when tire shopping. I find a few different sets that I like and usually make my final decision based off of tire weight. I've tried out lots of different tires over the years and I can honestly say my favorite trail tire is the bighorn 2.0.

to date hands down my favorite trail tires are STI Black Diamond XTRs.

BH's lack lateral control IMO.

I agree on the Bighorns lacking lateral control. They kicked out way too easily.

Going to get all three sets and do a comparison between the three and see which set in our opinion makes the best trail tire.

I am really looking forward to running these UBER XOR's.

Id think that lack of traction around a corner is more present in the original bighorns than the 2.0s. The 2.0s are made from a softer rubber which seem to stick to everything. The lugs may be spaced out a little bit more as well.

They might have been original Bighorns. They did have at least half the tread worn too.
