Your going to love those tires. I put them on my ATP and what a difference. I notice the better traction right away while plowing. I took it for a quick trail ride when I first put them on a few weeks ago and there are spots I use to need AWD to get up. Not anymore. These tires just dig in and go.

I haven't seen one with 9s all the way around, but as easy as the sway bar mod is to do and as good as the 11s look and ride, myself i'd go with the 11s

RDusch, great sig line...
I have heard that running 9's all around helps handling, but I'm not sure how. I'm thinking of getting Duro Powergrips, but going stock sizes all around. (They make Powergrips in 26-10-14)

A friend runs power grips, very nice tires and so far seem to be holding up well, and self clean better than the big horns, what i don't like is the 26" grips are only 4 ply rated, the 25's are 6 ply rated.

these are 25x12x12 grips

Nice looking setup. How does that short windshield work? I've been curious for winter riding but am running out of space on my handlebars.

I ride my fair share of pavement going to and from riding spots from my house in the sticks,and the Horns do very well on pavement...about as good as you can expect for a low pressure ATV tire IMO. I can cruise along at 50+ smooth and stable and it isn't uncommon for me to run 65-75 on the country back roads. If you really do alot or road riding inflate them to 12 PSI or so for added stability.

Does anyone have an experience with the GBC Grim Reaper tire? 8ply radial. About the same price as the Maxxis Bighorns.

those 26's looks about as clean as those 32's on the dodge in the background.,, I hope you get both them a little dirty? Or it might be a waste of $$
