P500 Feeling A Bit Tipsy - Kenda HTR vs Big Horn 2.0?

[KYhillbilly]

Mopar... You can't be calling me out on my poor typing skills. No more birthdays this year for you. 😂

we are from KY, "have did, done did, more better", its all good. Lots of bourbon, cheap taxes, and plenty of places to ride.

Sounded like Ebonics to me.

I did not think the offset would make a difference but I do notice it. I will be going to the 4+3s regardless of what I do about tires.

We have completed several rides now so I will do an update sometime this weekend. Also been talking with Big Horn about the size inconsistency.

Did you ever figure anything out on that BH sizing "inconsistency?"

 

[ODAMO]

You are correct. They have been measured by 3 different people with the same results.. I am starting to think what I have are 26”s misstamped as 27”’s. Going to call BH about it.

That’s China for ya.

ITP all the way baby!

Yes. KJ Motorsports referred me to Maxxis... Maxxis acted concerned at first but have since referred me back to KJ. I am of the mind set it is a manufacturer defect and should be corrected by Maxxis... KJ of course agrees. I am just disappointed in Maxxis, they are basically assuming no responsibly. So I am thinking my next course of action.. is just to add spacers, see if that helps. Then never buy anything from Maxxis again. At this point, I am sick of the whole thing.

Sell them off (cheap, to a friend ) and buy what you want. Dingleberry wants to live its' best life!

I have not made a decision… Shocking, I know! I wanna get this done ASAP so I can finish getting my buggy ready for TO.

I am leaning slightly toward the HTR’s after yet another talk with Maxxis on Friday. They can not guarantee me the 27’s would measure 27. I have already purchased 4+3 new steelies. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Tires are always a personal choice. Keep in mind that the 26" BH 2.0's measure 26.5" actual. I had 7 of them and they were all that measurement. @906UP has one of them and could verify.

Yup, I have one of Trigs mounted on a stock rear for a spare, the others are on ITP alloy wheels, I can measure one if you want, won't be until Fri evening though

No worries.. I have a set of Big Horn 2.0 27's on it right now.. they just do not measure even 26, its more like 25 3/4. It is frustrating..

Wasn't a fan of cold weather before, don't think it'll get any extra point from me after having screws in my knees🙄

Now get out there and buy some rubber!!!! Good rubber saves lives, especially when you ride hard...... 😉😂

NoMo!!!

 

[906UP]

I dont think you can go wrong with either choice, as far as the size, just remember 🤏 this is 6 inches...... thats what I've been telling Mrs 906UP for 30+ yrs 🤣
