Maxxis Bighorns

$650 from RMATV and my dealer. 25" set and the Rokstars. This deal would have been $550 with the steelies, or ~10 more total if I'd gone with the 26".
Reason I say my dealer came in below RMATV, he threw in the lug nuts.
I'm just tickled to be able to buy anything local, seeing as we normally have to pump the sunshine in every day. :D

That''s a hell of a good price for Rokstars...

I guess I should put it in perspective. I also sold my OEM SE takeoffs on eBay for $375, so I''ve really got about $225 in the upgrade... at that price difference, I''m quite happy!

I went with the 26" instead of 25" (knowing I''d lose some low end, though the 450 seems to have plenty) because I wanted the wider tires. Up here we ride a lot of bog/beaver pond kind of stuff where you want to stay on top of it if you can. You don''t want to be churning if you can avoid it, because it is full of buried sticks (and beavers leave pointed ends) , rocks and stuff... not clean river bottom silt nor simple "mudhole" mud...

Me too, too much drama and stress for what is seemingly an easy purchase.

DD now you have the Armani-Suit compared to the Target-Suit......
Be proud, be very proud!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, you came out really good with the sale of the OEMs! If the 660s had the bottom of the 450s, I'd have gone with the 26" too.

Pate, are you kissing my ass or liking the 'birds of a feather' thing?

Congrats you guys. Bighorns are a nice tire for sure.

The big hornies are in the house !!!! And they look damn good wrapped around the Rokstars !!! Me So Happy !!
But, you knew there had to be something that did not go as planned, right? The center caps did not get shipped. I get those when I get 'em I guess.
Was busy with doing other chores, so I'll try and get 'em on and a pic or two snapped tomorrow eve.

Sweet.... they have an "attitude" just sitting there!

I love the look of Bighorns -- a tread pattern like nothing else, until other companies started with their copy-cats...

Nice brother..........Real nice!!!!!!!!!!

DD, does your muffler have an erection, or is it just well hung?

GREAT CHOICE----MY FIRST AND ONLY.

Gunny educated me on the big horns and wheels, then I bought his!

I am currently in a fit of jealousy!

Man I LIKE those wheels! Tires are great too, but I LIKE those wheels big time!

DD rocksTARS, in more ways than one.............
