Sure...if you get a chance. Sounds like we're pretty close, though. I can't tell for sure until they are gone, obviously...

Obviously they won’t last a super long time with the big voids between the lugs just like BH but I’m hoping to get 2k. Think they will be bald by then, which ok as long as not winter.
Surprised you’re not getting a little better then me with the somewhat lighter machine. We get much better longevity with the Wolverine, she’s got 3800 on factory BH. Very few problems but they are black logs soon, almost completely bald. Wife looking at new copies ASAP.

How much rock you on? A lot of loose rock here. And I don't think I've ever been on pavement with these either.
I had original bighorns on my first 700, and I remember thinking they may go 4,000 mi or better. Best tire I've ever run.
The trilobites I'm running...I knew from them on the 500 that they weren't going to go anywhere near that, but I expected a little more. But then again we'll see.
I was hoping to see a cost versus result thing. The copies are a little less than half price of genuine bighorns, so if they last more than half as long it kind of makes sense from a money standpoint. But that doesn't seem to be the case. I'll probably go with two more rears and just wear the set out, and at that point I'll probably look at real big horns or maybe 2.0's.

If I had to say percentages I’d say under 1% pavement, 20% rock and the rest dirt.
From what I’ve heard the original wears much better then the 2.0. I guess I’d try a set but they are brutal in price as far as I’m concerned. Like you say though if they only last half as long.
2.0 I love on the Wolverine but they aren’t enough on 1000. Winter good though. If I could afford to ever get it done I’d run 2.0 winter and then Ripsaw summer on separate wheels. But both really suck as a full time tire here but have huge advantages right time of year

In @Smitty335 case, it would be "leave it stock and drag it out of woods after 27 beers"

Cheers boys! Damned @Tramguage1 got me into one of these pellet grills and we use this thing 3-4 times a week! So even when you think you're good on spending money on the sxs, along come your "friends" to help spend the rest of your money!

I don’t know about being “woke” just not drive from one side of the country to the other, passing way to many other places that I’ve never been to along the way
And 38 hours one way isn’t my kind of fun, I would spend more time driving to and from than I would be able to stay and enjoying the time there
