| I recently purchased a 2009 Rhino Sport Edition and rode it at Brimestone this past weekend. Only modifications so far is 27inch ITP 589's and I must say I am in love. The ride was unbelievably smooth. We climbed every hill we came to with ease and had no troubles with any mud holes. I am very happy with my choice. Some will say it is underpowered, but it got me everywhere I wanted to go with ease. Think I will keep it for awhile. | |

| He climbed 87Y on his Can-Am four wheeler while I was standing right there. He even stopped halfway up the steepest part and took off again. He will have no issues navigating 87Y with his Rhino. | |

| We never made it to 87y but hit some pretty steep and rocky trails while they were still wet from the rains, 98, 85, 49, 50,and 52 that I remember. 52 was really washed out from the heavy rains. Decent test for the 1st time out. With the people I ride with I am sure it will hit every red trail there. Lt. will be sure to make that happen. | |

| 87y is just a long kinda steep hill with curves ruts roots etc. I climbed halfway up on my can am 800max xt got off set the brake helped someone get up the hill then got back on and rode up the rest of the hill. I don't think it is that bad compared to some of the the other hills. Don't have any picts of the hill. Maybe someone else does. | |

I think they are really talking about 75y. It is a little tougher. I have been up 87y and 75 but not 75y. All three hills are getting worse and will soon be very dangerous. | |

Well lets hope Brimstone recreation does some maintenance on them to keep them fun and safe! | |

| I love the 589's. They do great in mud, the wide lugs hook on rocks roots and give a real smooth ride on hard pack. This is my second set, had a set on my can am 800 and they wear well also. No complaints at all. What do you run? | |

| XTR's on my RZR, but i almost bought the 589's. Ive had 3 sets of them on atvs and they do everything well. The xtr's are doing very well so far but if i decide to change 589's are going on it. | |
