Maxxis Big Horns

Maxxis Big Horn Review:

First thing I noticed upon mounting these tires was how much bigger they were than most 25'' tires. They measured around 25.5'' with 4PSI in them. They are close to 26'' with 6-7PSI in them. If you are considering a set of Big Horns definitely take the sizing into consideration.

These tires are on the heavier side. Although I did not notice much of a power difference.

Mud Performance - In the mud these tires do well but not great. Although, keep in mind they are an all terrain tire and not a mud tire specifically. If you are going to Big Horns from stock tires the Big Horns will spin circles around the stockers in the mud all day long. I have not been able to get myself stuck with them yet during normal trail mud riding.

They do perform very well in mud, but if you are a 100% mud rider than you may want to look into a more mud oriented tire.

Woods Trail Performance - This is where I found the Big Horns to be most at home. They grip up like glue on logs and go right over them with no hesitation.

The great thing about the Big Horns in this type of riding is just peace of mind. The 6 ply radial tire is indestructible to the sticks and thorns that are found all over the trails.

Snow Performance - The Big Horns performed flawlessly in the snow. They mostly floated on top as long as you take it easy on the throttle upon taking off. Overall in the snow I was really pleased. I felt confident going higher speeds in icy areas with them. I had good gripping control.

Sand Performance - Excellent tire in the sand. My stockers used to spin and dig in. They float on top and get you moving!

Overall Performance - I am extremely impressed with this set of tires. So far they show no wear with 1000 miles on them. After I have 3000-4000 miles on them we will know for exact how well they wear. But so far so good!

Mud Performance - 7/10

Woods Trail Performance - 10/10

Snow Performance - 8/10

Sand Performance - 10/10

Overall Performance - 9/10
