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. Ba5ccb52dac06c8347de58f59754b11f14ab6070870d8cce95646cc8619de810

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!
