Actually the Big Horns are quite a bit lighter overall compared to the Terracrosses...

Big Horn 2.0 Total 96.80
For a good all around tire the BHs (or 2.0s) can't be beat. Great traction,last a very long time and are tough.
If you want something a little more agressive but don't want a full tilt mud tire look hard at the Zillas..
The ITP Mudlite XTRs are pretty good tires,but heavy for the performance they offer IMO,they actually feel heavier on the machine than the advertised weight elludes to imo...I never actually weighed them,but they felt VERY heavy on my 850 compared to the BH2.0s. My next all purpose tire with focus on mud will be the Zillas.

I have been researching the same thing with the recent purchase of our 850XP. My conditions are snow, snow, and too much snow, rocky conditions, and muddy conditions as the snow finally goes away. We had the XP out this weekend and found the same thing in the snow, very loose.
I am considering the Interco Swamplite that have been rated for all the above conditions. This is a 6-ply tire. A different thought process on size for my decision. I am looking at going with 28-9-14's all the away around. Looking for the old school "pizza cutter" look and feel. I should not experience any clearance issues and gain some height.
Overall I would say there are many good tires on the market and would say the best reviews come from those that have them on their units.

If anything go with skinny front and wide rear, but better yet, get wide all around.
Also look for Rockman and Kodiak660 on youtube and at atvnation. These guys ride more in a day (in the mountains) than most people ride in 6 months.

Does anybody know if the 2010 swaybar will easily swap out for the '09. That would be a really easy no-brainer fix, but cost $.

To swap out the sway bar a 2010 sway bar onto a 2009 is a bit more than just a couple bolts. On the 2009 models the battery sits in between the frame rails under the seat. On the 2010 model the battery has been repositioned to allow the sway bar to pass through the frame. In addition "I think and don't hold me to this", but the 2010 muffler mount tabs are different than that of the 09's which was partly due to the sway bar change. I believe they're two different part numbers as well.
Basically do the sway bar mod on your 2009 as described in other posts, which is fairly easy and be done with it.
