The stock ones are best all around, if you want better in certian areas your more then likely going to give up something else to get it, deeper lugs are great for mud and softer soils, but you give up hard pack performance and the deeper the lug, the more small rocks that will get stuck in the threads at slower speeds and when you go faster they fly out and hit your machine, damage paint etc. Shallow lugs means worse performance in the sand, mud and soft soil. Then of course, tire width, compound of the rubber, size, thread design, etc. . All impact performance. My advice would be search for a set of tires that look to you like they are good for what you want to do, then ask others if they have experience with that tire in a similar type of terrian you plan on riding in. What works good for BOB in Washington might not work so well for STEVE in Arizona.

I have the stock big horns and they are great for sand, and desert type terrian. I'm an aggressive driver and I would prefer a stiffer sidewall with slightly deeper lugs for gravel roads and mountain trails. But the big horns are acceptable until they wear out then I would purchase more terrian specific tires :)

EPL had some nice tires on his XP1000 when we meet at Ocotillo Wells. I think they were the Motto Crawler from Polaris.

Did you put the same size on all four corners ? What size did you put on ?
We have the original Big Horns and love them! We ride a lot of hard pack, rock, mud and snow and the do great in all conditions.

I have always had the Bighorns and loved them. The problem is with the 800S they seem to last great , with the XP900 they didn't last as long and with the XP1000 after just a couple of hundred miles there were not looking so good. I put the Mottocrawlers on the XP1000 and after 1100 miles they still look almost new .

I hate the stock bighorns i have cut down 3 tires in the last year on the rocks with 12psi in the tire. I was looking at the new tires from discount tire the thunder and storm they are 8ply. The thunder looks a good all around tire and i was going to put the same size all the way around so they can be rotated.

The Motto Crawlers I have on the XP1000 still look almost new after 1200 miles !! Probably I/2 of the miles were in rocks.
