I was following him when that happened! We had to use a winch strap to drive the bolt back into position! The same hazard that caused that, the Beast handled without breaking a sweat and in two wheel drive! It was a deep trench just before a steep climb that he hit to aggressively

That’s sounds sexual!!

Added SuperATV 2” Spacers on rear and moved 1” Spacers to the front to support factory rims and Bighorn tires...

Noticeably lower to the ground, lol


I do have to say these get around way better than the Tusk Terrabites this time of the year. Hopefully the heat wave hits this weekend, I will test her out!

After seeing your rig get around I’m pretty well set on terrabites but am disappointed in what you said about snow. I know out of any tire I’ve had i sure like the Bighorns in snow.

Really?? I thought they would have done pretty well in snow.

Don’t get me wrong they are capable, but there was a thread that talked about snow tires and it got me thinking...almost new Bighorns sitting in the garage on rims and all I need is a set of Spacers to prevent the from contacting the Fox shocks!
I did play on the snow covered hills near the house with the Terrabites and they didn’t fail me, but it just makes sense a softer rubber tire with a tread more suitable to snow could outperform them in near zero temps. With today’s 1/4 mile test drive on the road the Beast did perform better on icy roads and pulled Nice in the little snow we do have here.

Are your terras med/hard compound like mine? That might explain the lack of snow performance. I'm afraid to take my horns off-road. That 4ply sidewall might get cut by a blade of grass or something lol

As much s*** as the 4ply horns get... you have to ask why hasn’t Honda caught on that we’d like a better tire.

I assume the quality of the Tusk Terrabites are consistent from one to the next. As far as performance in the snow they are capable and I have only been stuck once but it was in 24”+ of hard packed snow which I had to jump on to break through the top crust which was about 6” thick.
Agree with The delicacy of the Bighorns as I have plugged at least one tire and have multiple cuts and slices when inspecting them closely. When they hold air it can’t be denied they are a great performing tire. Just hope that they continue to hold air when I take the Beast out on Saturday.

They've actually been a decent street tire as well.

Hell, I’ve ran 20 mile stretches on the highway wide open with little noticible wear, where as while turning around with the wheels cranked hard in 4WD with the Bighorns you can leave very noticeable marks

Mine still have fair amount of tread and no telling how many miles are on them. Well over a thousand.

 

[Eltobgi]

Sometimes you just need a good stretch
