| If you want the most durable, go with the Bighorns. I would go only with 26" though. BH run tall. The Spartacus is worth a look too. | |

| oh ya i forgot the mention the tires will be for a rzr. i have not seen a online site that shows the price of the spartacus but the tread does look good. atvoutfitters has good prices on the others. | |

| not yet. but thinking about going with the swamplites with the rzr also. there just a great price and have great traction and they come in almost every size made. will be the end of the month before i buy anything for the rzr because the sheriffs office only pays us once a month.  | |

| This looks like a pretty decent deal for us Rhino types on the Reptiles and some wheels. I like the wheels, hadn't seen them anywhere before. CLICK ME |

| Bush, you still never said why you want such a skinny tire on the back, it came with 10'' and you want a 9''??? The rzr does 90% of its pulling even in AWD by the rear tires, the fronts only pull when the rears start to loose traction. Common size used by most is 11'' rear, 9'' front, some run 12'' wide rears. | |

i dont like 12inch rear tires because they end up not being as tall as say a 9 or 10 inch front. and not all tires come in a 10 or 11 inch wide size . i have a set of 26inch dirt devils on my atv and the fronts 26x10x12 are an inch taller than the rear 26x12x12. i have seen many other tires that are like this and it just looks like crap to me. also thinking about the motor mount clearance on the rzr. but i am going to put a set of spacers on sometime and a lift. but the size i end up going with will depend on what tires i go with. | |
