First of all, Im gonna do a little comparison on these tires...Im not some punk who thinks he knows it all....I HAVE OWNED BOTH SETS OF TIRES, therefore, I am allowed to give my opinion, so shut up and read. I have been hearing a lot about these bighorns and thought I would give them a try.
I sold the trxus and pretty wheels and went bighorns and black steelies. Both sets of tires were 33x12.50's, and both were on 15x8's.
First off, these bighorns look SUPER rad, really awesome sidewall, interesting tread design. These had ZERO balancing issues, yeah thats right NO balancing issues. They are noticeably louder than the trxus, but nothing compared to a bogger or tsl. It is lighter by about 8 pounds to the trxus. They ride almost as smooth as silk. However it is slightly shorter, at 32.9 versus the 33" of the trxus.(advertised) Got them for $552 SHIPPED from Select Tire on ebay. Paid $601 shipped for the Trxus from Tyres International. Select tire was AMAZING to deal with, I called 4 times in one day to ask questions, very friendly and knowledgable. Ebay name is nikkiw0212...If you want some bighorns, hurry, cuz the prices are going up...
Basically I got sick and tired of the trxus, yeah they are super badass offroad, and they are quiet, but I had nothing but trouble with balancing them. 1 was completely out of round and they would not replace it cuz it took me too long to figure that out. Then the other 4 had a TON of weight on them, 1 was still not entirely perfect. They like rocks, they like trails, i did cut a sidewall when it got pinched on a sharp rock, however it still held air just fine. I try to stay away from mud, but they were just so so from what I could tell.
I want to point out that I have not gotten the opportunity to wheel on the bighorns yet. I will give an update just as soon as I do to see how they compare to the trxus, which offroad is pretty hard to beat. But for daily driving use and price, the bighorns are the hands down winner.
