This is what you posted before very interesting you just trashing something you have never owned ?



I know nothing about the terra cross other than that that seem to be a great tire. I am running bighorns on my stock wheels (spacers) , but depending on the after market wheel you choose they should fit if they have a deeper offset. I have the original bighorns. I bought them for their rugged"ability". They are not bullet proof but they sure seem like it compared to the stockers. I can feel a weight difference though it actually handles better with the heavier tires. Perform decent on light mud and grip great on the trails and rocks. thats my Opinion on the Bighorns.. and Im thinking they are a little cheaper than the Itp lineup depending on where u buy . I bought the 26" set for 14 " wheels for about 386$ shipped

In 2 wheel drive it will break them loose and throw huge roosts which is always fun to look behind and watch I'm sure the Terra's are awesome though. Thanks.
I have yet to ride my machine in dirt with the stock tires, but I'd like to wear these tires out before purchasing new ones. The stock tires stink in the snow so I'm wondering how they will do in hard packed dirt.

I've always had luck with ITP tires, and they worked great on my old Prairie 650 so I may be making the investment when it comes time.

You get what you pay for. ITP is more expensive but the quality is evident.
