I have had three sets of Bighorn 2.0 on my outlander. I only buy them because they are lighter. That comes with a price. They get little cuts easier and the seam in the centre leaks. They are a nice riding tire. I am getting tired of having to pump up my tires every week because they are flat. Will look at something tougher next time.
Hi Kirk, that’s quite a few miles. Running them on a Ranger. I’m surprised they held up that good. Thanks for checking out the video. Much appreciated!
A plethora of tires to choose from he says. I LIKE IT! Those Bighorns 2.0 are on my list of replacements for my SwampLites. I don't ride in the snow a lot, but when I do, the SwampLites absolutely suck. They're an amazing trail tire, but I'm thinking I need something more versatile. Thanx for doing this video. Good info.
Hey buddy! Plethora is no joke eh? Haha Yeah, I’ve been happy with those tires. The ride is really an improvement over some of the stiffer more heavy duty tires. The tread pattern seems to be pretty versatile to. Thanks for checking out the video buddy!
@@kractass The hardness tester is from racing. There were rules on how soft our tires could be so we would check them. They also get checked in tech after a race and you could be disqualified if they were too soft.
Good review KC. I like em. I had a set on my Kodiak 400 before i started youtube many years ago. I found they work very well for a wide terrain variety. You are right about the ride quality. I think they ride smoother than my Kenda bearclaw HTR's. However when the going gets nasty, the HTRs i found pull harder.
Hey ruyguy, yeah, the HTR’s seem to Have a much more aggressive tread design. The weight and ride quality were the most important to me, so I’m happy with these tires. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment.
Nothing like a good tire review. I agree with your reasoning. The softer carcus does provide a much better ride, and although the 3.0 may last longer I would rather have the more compliant ride than the longevity
Hey mornin Chris, when I was shopping for tires, the ride quality was one of the big factors in choosing the 2.0s. But with the way the prices are getting on ATV tires I may be changing my tune on the 3.0 tire. LOL They’re getting close to $200 each, Heck you can buy passenger car tires for less than that. That’s nuts! Thanks for watching bud. Talk to you later.
My teryx has bighorn 2.0’s on it and because of the machines weigh I run about 10 pounds on the front and 12 on the rear. They are great tires and ride smooth. Was gonna put a set on my grizzly a couple years ago and because of the price for a set I went with the Kenda Bearclaw HTR. They are also a radial tire but do seem heavier and hard to balance. At the time the Big Horns were about $550-$600 a set. Now they over $800 a set.
Hi Ben, yeah, for sure the price of off-road tires are getting ridiculous! Heck, you can buy street tires for less than that. I don’t know what I’m going to buy when these wear out. I guess I’ll figure that out when the time comes. Thanks for checking out the video!
Another great review video! That is interesting on the sidewall flex. I run Kenda Bear claw HTRs on my machines and have really liked them so far. One of them is out of balance so causes the handlebar to shimmy at 45mph. I think they are 8 ply so probably a fair amount heavier than the bighorns. It's time to go get them dirty again!
Heyy buddy, Yeah, I thought about getting those but they are heavier so I chose the bighorns. Yeah buddy let’s go riding! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Hi Jon, the big horns are a all-around good trail tire. If I ever wear these out, I’ll start saving now, so I can afford another set. LOL Thanks for checking out the video!
Nice review kc never ever hear ppl here run anything but bias tire . Mind you trails here are old roads / very old roads nothing maintained . Guys like me avoid any club type trails lol . Good to hear about the big horns pretty sure they come stock on new unit we getting .
Yeah, the bighorns are good for rough terrain. Most of the trails we ride in Arkansas are really rough and Rocky so you need a smoother tire. if they’re on your new SXS hopefully they work out for you. Thanks for checking out the video my friend!
The bighorns are good winter tires as well. The soft compound and relatively light weight works. I ordered some ss360's for snow riding, hopefully they show up soon. Thanks KC.
@@kcatv9556 System 3 ss360. Kind of like the old school othsu pro wedges. Bighorns with gripstuds until the snow is deep then the ss360's is the the plan.
Bingo n 2.0’s are good my favorite are Kenda Bear Claw HTR’s. Their 8 ply pretty lite won’t affect the performance of your machine. They do everything good except deep mud but not to many all terrain tires do well on deep mud
One of the guys I ride with used to run the Bear Claw’s He was happy with them. Myself I like the 2.0’s for the ride quality and they have held up well so far. Thanks for checking out the video.
Kenda bear claws k299 are a really great tire also I have around 7000 hard miles on a set between putting them on my grizzly 550 and my yamaha viking 700 there still holding up no holes about half tread great traction everywhere I also run sti black diamond xtr with has over 5000 miles more than half tread great tire
Hey Pateick, The price of the Maxxis tires are getting so expensive, I may have to look into Kenda’s when these were out. Thanks for checking out the video!
Awesome shop. Do you make people take their shoes of before entering 😅. My family bust my chops for vacuuming my shop. I just like it clean. It's easier to keep track of everything.
One of the guys we met up with last year and rode with had those tires on. Sounds like you’re pretty happy with them. Thanks for checking out the video.
I just recently discovered that some tires have the ply rating represented by a star symbol on the sidewall. Each star is equal to 2 plies. The maxxis tires on my Rubicon have 2 stars so they are 4 ply. Check yours out, they may actually be marked that way.
Hi Rubion3 Thanks for the info about the rating indicated in stars. I did not know that? I’ll have to look at them and see if they have the ply rating indicators like that. Thanks for checking out the video!
So I've been running 2.0s since 2011. I have them on all 3 of our wheelers. They hold up great. Only issue I have had is on my 1000 they are wearing faster than they do on the 570 and 800. The 2 reasons why are one: road riding down at HMT and 2: POWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Want to touch on some of your highlighted points KC. First: the flexible side wall doubles the gripping capabilities of that great tread pattern. Second: these are NOT SXS tires. First time in Moab and my buddy literally wore out a brand new set of 2.0s on his brand new SXS on that trip. We literally took pics at the beginning of the day to record the amount of wear on the tires. Another buddy in his new SXS on a local NE powerline woods trail sustained 3 flats in 1 ride on his 2.0s. NOT A SXS TIRE!!!!! Third: agreed softer compound with I suspected and why the tire grips so so well. Makes the wheeler so predictable. Just wanted to say the 2.0s are a great trail tire, does everything well may not be the best at one particular thing but all in all when it is said and done the tire is the best all around trail tire you can buy for an ATV. Also IDK about now but years back there was a negative wrap the 2.0s were getting. It came from 2 areas. First one we talked about and that came from the SXS world and how the tire didn't hold up to those conditions. The other was there were some manufactures putting 2.0s stock on their higher end ATVs. Problem was they were a 3 ply 2.0 that didn't hold up very well. But the 6 ply 2.0s can't be beat on an ATV IMHO!
I agree the 2.0 tires are lightweight and more suitable for a ATV not SXS The 3.0, tires are much more heavy duty more suitable for a SXS Great comment. Thanks for checking out the video.
Another good tire that is a knockoff of the bighorns is the sunf. My buddy has them on his cfmoto 600 and I couldnt belief how good they are in snow and mud. I rode his atv and they are good handling, no vibration, and smooth on hard pack and hwy. I am seriously thinking thats my next tire. He only paid $ 396.94 for a set of 4 tires. And thats for 27x9x14 and 27x11x14. Just a heads up. Thought that was a killer deal. And their honestly some good tires. .
Hey Michael, yeah buddy that’s a good price for a set of four tires. Maxxis tires are getting so expensive! Bighorn are close to $200 each now. Thanks for sharing the info. Appreciate you checking out the video!
Awsome video i just got my tires a couple weeks ago for my artic cat I got the sunf power A033 they almost got the same tread design as your but I think the bar tread is a little more aggressive and taller but I like how they look.. I went with 27x9x12 front and 27x11x12 rear.. gotta get my new wheels sometime then I will be trying them out...
@@kcatv9556 yes they should... they say the artic cats already have good ground clearance anyway. Plus with this bigger tires I've already had a clutch kit installed and im waiting on my hmf pipe and jet kit. Cant wait for that to show up I love up grades lol..
Hi Dan, Yup we make choices when buying tires. lightweight and rides. Good may not be as durable as others. All true. Thanks for checking out the video!
Hey Jesse, I have not run the other bighorns and have had no issue with sidewall punctures with these 2.0’s I went with the 2.0s simply because they are lighter and have been happy with them. Thanks for checking out the video.
I have not run the 2.0s but have ran the originals on 5 different ATVs. A Grizzly, Brute Force and 3 KIng Quads. Never a puncture issue. I pig hunt in Texas and while we had a couple of flats this year none were on Maxxis tires. The ranch we hunt at uses 2.0s and they love them. The wear like iron. I don't mud but have been in 18 inches of mud and they did fine. I always think of trying something else. Usually the Bear Claw HTRs come up but I have had such good luck with the BHs that I keep putting them on my machines. The BH originals also do well in snow. For icefishing I buy motorcycle ice racing screw and don't mess with chains. The tread is so thick I just screw right into them. Never a problem. I have a 1000 miles on a set on a KQ. Mostly trails but probably 100 miles on pavement and the BHs just hold up. Thanks for the video.
Hey Mr. KC! How are you doing buddy? Great review sir! You're not wrong. It's not like the old days when mudlites were the way to go for an aggressive tire. Lots of options now. Very cool that you have a rubber hardness gauge.yeah prices for things are getting rough. Happy riding! What's the story behind you wrapping the tip of your exhaust? Was it warping the plastics? Looks like you have some type of black plastic device just above also. Curious to know more. How are you doing sir? Sorry I haven't been around much. Things have been kind of complicated for me this past year. I feel bad that I haven't been keeping up with the community very well.
Hey buddy!, the prices for everything seem to be going up extremely quick. Especially for ATV tires it seems. The exhaust pipe tip is an over sized extension that I have several layers of screens to muffle the sound a bit. I went with oversize to keep from causing a restriction with all of the screens. I know how busy things can get in hard to find time for CZcams. Thanks for checking out the video, my friend!
What PSI do you like to run? I like around 6 or 7 on my bike. Sometimes I go 5. Man I'm so impressed that those tires still look that good after that many miles.
Hey buddy, I run 4.5 in the rear and 5 in the front. Yeah I’m pretty impressed with how they’re holding up especially with the rocky terrain We ride there in Arkansas. I think the weight of your Kawi is pretty close to ours? Thanks for checking out the video buddy!
@@kcatv9556 that's definitely gotta be the case. My brothers Kodiak 700 definitely doesn't feel as heavy in the front end. When are you guys planning to ride again? We're hoping to in early April.
Hi Ray, they may fit, but possibly rub when you turning. Myself I wouldn’t do that I would put the 9 wide on the front Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video.
Hi Ryan, Not sure what type of machine you will put that set up on but what I have noticed the side walls are really flexible with these tires. Going with a 27 inch tire on a 12 inch wheel. Would give you a lot of sidewall, and the potential of it to be really flexible and probably not handled very well. That would be my concern going with a 27inch on 12” wheel. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video!
Good point - @@kcatv9556. Tires will go on a 700 Kodiak. Wonder if the OGs have stiffer side walls... i do like the light weight option, but a few extra pounds might be worth it. Thanks for the insight and keep the content coming!
Hey Pat, our next ride is the weekend of March 11 we’re going to the moccasin gap campground there in Arkansas. Just north of Dover.AR. I think we have 4 people committed to go as of right now. Come on down and join us if you would like? Thanks for checking out the video.
@@kcatv9556 I would love to come and ride with you sometime. thanks for the invite. I live in Ohio but have family in in Arkansas. Most of them in the Ozark national forest area. My Dad graduated from High school at Oark. I will be down there for just a couple of days for a funeral next week but no time to ride. next year I retire and hopefully more time to ride and travel.
I don’t remember exactly what they were when I bought them. But they’re getting close to $200 each as of now. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@kcatv9556 Man, that is expensive! SunF sells a tire that looks mighty close to the same tire pattern; I might replace mine with those. Although, that might be a few years down the road the way atv tires seem to hold up.
Hi Barney13, that is a great question. I would probably still go with the 2.0s since they have a better ride than the 3.0‘s, But with that being said, the 3.0’s are going to last longer since they are a harder compound. With the price of these tires and if ride is not a big concern the 3.0’s would actually be a better tire simply because they’re going to last longer. It’s definitely a difficult decision. Trying to figure out what tires to buy for an ATV. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@kcatv9556 yeah the 26's are 900 bucks so thats even crazier. I like my zillas. 450 bucks for a set of 25's and 600 bucks for a set of 26's. Still expensive. Personally I like Kenda bear claw EX which is only 300 for a full set of 25's. But really everything's gone up.

Myself I wouldn’t do that I would put the 9 wide on the front
Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video.
im debating these vs 27x9x12 all the way around. any sense how this setup might differ based on your experience?
Hi Ryan, Not sure what type of machine you will put that set up on but what I have noticed the side walls are really flexible with these tires. Going with a 27 inch tire on a 12 inch wheel. Would give you a lot of sidewall, and the potential of it to be really flexible and probably not handled very well.
That would be my concern going with a 27inch on 12” wheel. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video!
Good point - @@kcatv9556. Tires will go on a 700 Kodiak. Wonder if the OGs have stiffer side walls... i do like the light weight option, but a few extra pounds might be worth it. Thanks for the insight and keep the content coming!
What shocks do you run? I got a 2023 Grizzly
It has body roll.
Running Elka stage 3’s
Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video!
Where is the upcoming ride you are going on? I'm trying to get a ride together myself but not having any luck getting people to commit to going.
Hey Pat, our next ride is the weekend of March 11 we’re going to the moccasin gap campground there in Arkansas. Just north of Dover.AR.
I think we have 4 people committed to go as of right now. Come on down and join us if you would like? Thanks for checking out the video.
@@kcatv9556 I would love to come and ride with you sometime. thanks for the invite. I live in Ohio but have family in in Arkansas. Most of them in the Ozark national forest area. My Dad graduated from High school at Oark. I will be down there for just a couple of days for a funeral next week but no time to ride. next year I retire and hopefully more time to ride and travel.
How much did they cost when you bought them? and how much do they cost today?
I don’t remember exactly what they were when I bought them. But they’re getting close to $200 each as of now. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video.
@@kcatv9556 Man, that is expensive! SunF sells a tire that looks mighty close to the same tire pattern; I might replace mine with those. Although, that might be a few years down the road the way atv tires seem to hold up.
would you get the 2.0 instead of the 3.0 again for your personal Grizzly?
Hi Barney13, that is a great question. I would probably still go with the 2.0s since they have a better ride than the 3.0‘s,
But with that being said, the
3.0’s are going to last longer since they are a harder compound.
With the price of these tires and if ride is not a big concern the 3.0’s would actually be a better tire simply because they’re going to last longer.
It’s definitely a difficult decision. Trying to figure out what tires to buy for an ATV.
Hope that helps you out. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@kcatv9556 Awesome, thanks for answering my comment. Have you noticed any wobble/vibration at higher speeds (30+ mph) with the 2.0 or 3.0?
@@barneychamorro they run really smooth at higher speeds on the road.
They don’t wobble like the knock offs that Polaris, but on their new sportsman.
@@kcatv9556 both the 2.0 and 3.0?
@@barneychamorro yes, they both run smooth down the road.
the 3 stars mean 6 ply. 2 plies per star...
Yep, that’s what I’ve been told, thanks for the tip and I appreciate you checking out the video.
Honestly an overrated tire. yes, they last long, but c'mon... 800 bucks for a set of 25s???
Yes, they are very expensive. They’ve really gone up over the last 5 years. Are 26’s
Thanks for checking out the video.
@@kcatv9556 yeah the 26's are 900 bucks so thats even crazier. I like my zillas. 450 bucks for a set of 25's and 600 bucks for a set of 26's. Still expensive. Personally I like Kenda bear claw EX which is only 300 for a full set of 25's. But really everything's gone up.
