i've seen both in person the tread depth are almost exactly same gbc are little softer verse big horn are stiff (knob flex) the gbc are cheaper. both guys i know in jersey like them they mostly ride in sand and woods some rock but nothing like you guys do. the gbc have alot of side wall flex at low press
06 sp800,pure polaris BG front & rear bumpers, 3.0 winch w/Amsteel blue, jamhard rad guard, 27" mudzilla's, quadovator temp gauge, 1" wheel spacers f, supertrapp slipon,2" lift, custom rad relocate, custom metal rear rack, epi clutch kit,
Softer compound good for rocks....obviously, hard pack trail riding would wear 'em out faster.
Do you mean lots of flex BEFORE doing anything, or when it hits something?

Hadn't thought about it. I know it works well with snow...never seen it on Jeep rock crawlers...and those guys will do just about anything....including putting 5 lbs of BB shot inside the tire.

I agree Brad....the 25" sizing sucks. Not that I would get it...but for people that want stock height.

I actually thought first of taking a grooving tool and cutting notches in the long lateral bars. Siping would work great, I'll check into it. Locally I think Les Schwab is the only place I know that does it......but I have a pesonal boycott with them.Junfan wrote: I would think siping would be perfect for the rocks.
As far as size my 26's run just a little large, about 26 1/4"

at low pressure you can push your quad side to side and see the sidewalls flex. if you try to take a turn high speed low air pree you'll dig in the dirt with the rimsKen wrote:Softer compound good for rocks....obviously, hard pack trail riding would wear 'em out faster.

Great music, great camera work, and great thottle control. The funny thing is the way the guy is walking up the rock after the roll...I think he soiled himselfBearCat wrote:Also a good one of a guy flippin a scrambler
