Default Traded Swamps for Bighorns

* Well, I sold my set of 26" AMS Swamp Fox Plus tires and decided to try the 26" Maxxis Bighorns!!* Just put them on last night so I haven't had a whole lot of time to ride with them yet but from first impressions it is absolutely amazing!* They have a WAY softer ride then my Swamps did which is understandable because the Bighorn is a radial.* It feels like I put a new set of shocks on my bike!* The traction on dirt, gravel and even grass is unbelievable!* I liked my Swamp Foxes but for the type of riding I do the Bighorns will suit me way better.* I love the look and the feel of them!* The Bighorn is a true 26" or maybe a shade bigger where as my Swamp Foxes measured about 24.5 to 25 depending on air pressure but are called 26"!* Kind of weird the way these manufacturers are so different one from another.* Here's a few pics!!* I'll update as I get more riding time!

Good Choice. I Got mine a couple months ago. Like you said WOW!! I had 29.5 outlaws before and it's like I got a totally different quad. Rides like a caddy and I haven't broke anything since changing tires.

Here's another pic of 26" Bighorns Beside my 29.5 Outlaws. Not much height difference.

Got my tire package on Ebay. Look for a seller called neathery5. He's one of the biggest dealers on Ebay and the cheapest. I've bought three sets off him and they come right to your door in a week mounted and ready to rock.*
