Have you plowed with it yet? |
Not yet. Bought the quad in June, still assembling the Moose plow, in fact. It arrived missing about 20 pieces of hardware

I went with GBC Grim Reapers as my tire of choice. We have a ton of rocky trails around here I needed something tough as nails and these 8 plys are fantastic in everything.
Rocks- Check
Hard Trails/Coal Roads- Check
Mud - Check
Asphalt Road - Check
Snow - will test that out this winter

You probably have named two of the best, the zilla's and outlaw's for the muddy conditions down here in the Bayou State!

Plowed all last winter with my Bighorns (not BH2's) and they worked flawlessly. Are they the ideal tire for winter? Probably not. If you want a dedicated snow/ice tire, I think ITP makes a studded ATV tire.
When it comes time to replace my Bighorns, I'm going to take a look at the Pitbull Rockers Click
We ride mostly rocky trails, do a little rock crawling and ride a little asphalt. I have a friend who runs the Pitbull Growler 2's and absolutely swears by them and they have a less aggressive tread than the Rocker.

Does anyone know a good website that sells tires and ships to Canada, i tried on ebay but all of the good deals don't ship outside of the U.S. and the ones that do aren't really much of a better deal then what i could get at any local dealership, plus i would also have to pay shipping so most of them actually cost more.
