I love my BIGHORNS performance is awsome tread wear is awsome, I have had them in all terrain and they perform great. Downside IMHO is sidewalls are to soft and gouge really easy. If you are planning on stuffing these bad boys in sharp rocks, maybe try another tire. I got mine for under 200/tire fro a 17" wheel, pretty good. I will get them again as I have 15k on them now and they have no visable wear, by now they should be at 60%, but they have full tread.

When you find a "good deal" on a set of tires, even from a distributor check the manufacture date of the tire. I found a good deal once, the tires were being sold as new but were 4 years old.

Ran buckshot mudders in the 285/75R16 size on a truck in Colorado. It crawled over everything i put in front of it and suprisingly the things stuck to the roads in the snow in ice!! WOuld definately buy them again even if the tire design is 15 years old.
I went with KM2's this time because they had my size; Maxxis did not.
