I suspect they will last reasonably well if you stay on dirt, but I witnessed similar tires running on some asphalt and they get chewed up very quickly.....

They are chinese bighorn knock-offs, I've seen them sold under several different brand names. I've never used them but there are a few members on here that have, probably a decent tire. Bias construction should hold up well but will be heavier & probably rougher riding.

They look nice, I'm sure they'd be good. I just put the SunF tires on mine this week and I LOVE them. I just looked at the SunF website, and for the sake of comparison, if you purchase the same-sized bundle of tires in a "Power II" (similar to Maxxis Bighorn 2.0) on the SunF website, free shipping, and 5% off (discount code "southwestorv") you get them for about $303.

I think the Bighorn 2.0 type tires are a good fit for the Pioneer 500, being more compliant and lighter weight. Just my $.02

Pending needs and usage and after running bias ply tires for 3500 kms, I recommend radial tires if you can swing it. Really pleased with Kenda HTRs 27x11x12s on 5-2 rims. So much smoother then bias plies, these combined with Elkas have changed the tank ride to pillowy firm, running 1 to 2 gears quicker, dramatic change. Mine gets ridden primarily for work and I will say was really pleased with the AMS slingshots and if they came in radials I’d have bought them. Not ridden the HTRs that far yet, I will say the smoothness and predictable ride is great.
Cheers,

I have q similar knock off (wanda) on my 750 King Quad for 3 years. Fantastic wear works great for plowing.
Keep in mind my 26in measure 25

these don’t rub up front? I guess I’m a little surprised being a 27” tall and 11” wide, seems like they’d rub the frame on hard turns

On mine nope they don’t touch the frame. They do just touch the inner custom mud flap, just rearward of wheels if compressed at near full lock. And it’s just a tickle mostly on a plastic push pin that holds flap in place.
As the tire wears down it’ll miss and I’m not too worried. Inflated these are 10.5” wide with 5-2 rims.

Bighorn are Chinese all Maxxis tires say ching shen tire on the side. Also market their C S T tires. My STI tires are made in china .

I didn't realized that......kinda ironic. I think most ATV/UTV tires are made in China now.

 

[tomcj2]

There may be more out there but the only USA made tires that I could find are ITP/Carlisle Versa Trails.

 

[Backwoods]

I think the Chinese have the market cornered. If it wasn't for them I would be riding on my rims.

I purchased a similar set in 25” (different brand but probably the same stuff) from Chaparral for $220 some time ago. I have over 1100 miles on them with lots of hard top miles and they are holding up very well. I wouldn’t be afraid to try the ones you listed. Check out chaparral first though. I have purchased a few tires from them and can’t beat the prices. I have also had them replace a set of motorcycle tires under warranty and there customer service was first class.
