Looks like the Big horns in 14" only come in 26" 9" amd 11" Wide

I was worried that a 11" on my stock wheels would rub the sway bar. Plus I need to stay under th 48" so I can get 2 ATV's in my Toy Hauler. I'm going to get a tire groover from my Dirt Track friends and cut some extea grooves in the Stock tires.

oinkjackson,

No clutch kit (is there one available yet?), but there's only about 1/2" difference anyway:

<u>mounted, unloaded height of the the tires is:</u>
terrorthons 25.75"
bighorn 2.0s 26.25"

1/2 inch difference. Both tires at 7.0 psi

Great info Mark! The difference that others have found in height difference must have to do with the wheels????

Yea, if you look back through Marks' post, you'll see that the new width is 51".

Yeah if you want to run 11's on the stock wheels you either have to run a spacer or remove or disconnect and reposition the sway bar..
Siping can do wonders on some tires,but I think the improvements will be ok at best wiht the terriblethons..let us know..

I bought them from Polaris dealer, about $100 each

H.O. I will let you know as soon as I get the part numbers. They didn't get back to me yet.
