I just don't like when guys exaggerate or give false information because they run a particular brand or size. I run BH's but the Rip Saws look BA! I have the Honda front bumper but kinda' wished I had went with the Strong Made. I also think the EMP roof looks better than the Honda OEM. Just because I use something doesn't make it the best and if it fails I'll be the first to start chirping about it. ;)
if i hear 1 more person say they want the stong made im going to stop makings s*** for the p5!!!!!!!! its an over bumper and doenst protect anymore what that honda does but weights more that front bash plate is the weak point!!!!! and the stongmade doesnt address that it just looks tough mine will take 10xs the impact everywhere from bashplate to lights

So, lately I've been throwing around Ripsaws 25 x 9 x 12 OR 25 x 10 x 12 all the way around. One reason for smaller is I'm gonna be spending time in Colorado and Utah and Idaho at elevation and don't want to rob myself of power when riding at high elevations. A heavier tire though gives you a lower center of gravity too. Is 10" too wide for the front and would it increase my width by much? Math Bah!!! Thoughts?

Ripsaws in 25x8-12 and 25x10-12 run undersize. They are barely any taller than the stock 24's (which measure around 23.5-23.75" diameter).

The Ripsaws are probably as heavy as the EFX Motoclaws. If I was going to run a heavy tire, I'd take the EFX any day over the Ripsaw.

Don't go doing that, I just said it looked cool. I didn't know it was an over bumper either.

I've been researching tire weight and the Rip Saw 26x11x12 weighs in at 36.75 lbs. The exact same size BigHorn 2.0 weighs 27.95 lbs according to Dennis Kirk's website.

I never weighed them, I was just kind of guessing going by how they felt picking them up. A person can't sling a Ripsaw around like many of the other tires. I just got some 25x10-12 Bighorn originals, and they feel light in comparison.
