I dont have Bighorns , but have read on here and on other forums that they are one of , if not THE best tire on the market for snow .
I have also heard that the Kenda bearclaws are an excellent snow tire too .......

I have bighorns, but I live in Phoenix where we don't even get rain. I will be going up to Utah over Easter and I am sure I'll come across some snow up there somewhere. I am extremely happy with the Bighorns. They are hands down the best quad tires I've ever had.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

i have the Bighorns and have used them a little in the snow. if the snow isn't too deep to "plow through" they do great. if you need to "float" on top of crusty snow, they don't do as well as the flimsy tires with low pressure.
but i'd gladly trade the lack of floatation for the durability and grip they have in snow you have to plow through. their grip on ice and snow skiff on pavement is great.

if i had to buy atv tires tomorrow, my only though would be "what size of Bighorns do i want this time?"

I have bighorns on my BF650. I haven't had it in snow much deeper than a foot, but it's a great tire. Never had any issues with it, and as others have said - they wear like iron.
I ride a place with lots of rocks. There are no signs of stress anywhere on them.

I wish my DirtDevils would wear out so I could get some new Bighorns [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
