Default Grim Reapers

Who running these Grim Reapers and how do you like them so far? They look like a great trail tire...Believe they are radial, but unsure.

Horrible name though....hate to think of jinxing myself and ending up into a tree. Sort of like the "Pit Bulls"....can't stand those dogs. Stupid thought, I know.

Funride I've got close to 2000 miles on my reapers. Sofar they've been great no flats, great in the mud and sand. I haven't put alot of time on the rocks yet maybe 200 miles but seem to work just as good if not better big horns. With 2000 miles on i'm just starting to see some wear on the rear tires, not bad though. All and All i'd give them 5 stars. I'd buy another set.
matter of fact my buddy going to order a set this spring. He has the big horns right now and hes going to make the switch. Theres a couple of pic's of them in my garage on my Xp you can check out. One more thing they are radial 6 ply tires.

I thought they were 8 PLY as well. nc porider - I have a XP 550 and i see you you have a quad set up with bighorns as well as Grim Reapers... what one would you rather run??? I ask cuz I am looking at getting new tires and those are the two I have to decide from

the grim reapers would be my choice just because they are better in the mud as far as the ride not a lot of difference IMO ,not sure about the wear factor but form other posts seems to be good on both tires.

I checked out your XP with the "reapers". Great looking rubber. Wonder how they weigh in relation to BH 2.0
