New tires! STI Chicane RX 28-10-14

[jajohn00]

Took me awhile to pull the trigger on new tires. You guys all put up with my endless questions LOL. All I can say is I wish I would have done this a long time ago. The difference from the stock Bighorns is surprising. I run around Bear Lake Utah. A lot of asphalt and trail riding. I am running them at 12 psi so far, I might go 10 later. The reduction in road noise and stability at higher speeds was impressive.
I tracked my speedometer against my GPS. Although it looked like I lost 2 or 3 MPH on the top end when I used the GPS I still had 63 but my speedometer only reads 60.
I love everything about these tires so far.

What is the true size at 12psi and mounted?

My 28x10R14 Chicanes measure 27.25" at 10.5 PSI. Gained an inch over OEM. They weigh 48# on RMATV Cascade rims. OEM Bighorn 2.0 (4 ply) weigh about 33#/43# fr/rr. Note that a 6 ply BH 2.0 on OEM front rim is 38# (my spare tire). The ride is very smooth with the Chicanes.

Kind of hard to measure in gravel and grass but I would have to agree with ASROCKS. I figure that I gained a little over a inch in clearance. From my Bighorns. Ride and stability is night and day.

How are these treating you? I just purchased 4 - 28-10-14 STI Chicane tires and 1" spacers all around and I haven't even received my machine yet!
