For the correct answer, look at the above.

I think you have to give it a try HIGHOCTANE to see if you can really bury it.....then post some really cool mud pics! LOL!![IMG][/IMG]</end quote></div>

Ok,will do next week when I get back. Going out of town for a few days. Wish I had some video of me playing in the grass field behind the house yesterday. It's grass about 5" long and it's a little muddy underneath right now. I could nail it from a 5mph roll in high and it would just light the tires up and throw rooster tails of grass as long as I dared to hold it. A good 75-100 yards! Looked cool,unfortunately I had no one around to run a camera. The PXT's would have bit alot better. When the PXT's throw stuff it goes up,the Terracrosses throw it more to the back. In a way that's better,less lands on you,lol.

I have to agree, it looks high centered to me too. Of course, the tires are packed with the sticky, clay like mud I have all around me here. I agree that stock tires suck. I have to defend polaris, though, as they do put out the best stock tire of all the manufacturers. The pxt was decent, but got me stuck several times. I run nothing but mudlites. I'm sad to say I don't get to use my winch very often [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Yes it is high centered, I believe if I read right that once he knew he was stuck good he went ahead and buried it down to the frame. Being high center is not a factor in how well the tires perform if there was no avoiding it to start with. I doubt he dug a hole and sat the bike on the frame then tried to drive away. lol

That doesn't look soft enough for it to just sink to the frame without warning. The tires lost traction and then dug a hole. In that situation less throttle is better and no offense but a skilled rider might have avoided the situation,but nonetheless the tires are WEAK in the mud.

True dat!

ah, you just needed the 850. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Yep the tires are not as good as the PXT's, but the PXT's aren't even as good as Bighorns.

[HIGHOCTANE]

Yeah I can't wait to get the XTRs. I took the 850 through the soup ditch beihind the house tonight..same place was nothing of a real challange for the PXTs. It was a challenge for the terracross tires though. I thought a couple of times I was ready to go get the truck, but I managed to work it out after alot of back and forth and sided to side. Definitely not a mud tire at all,lol. They ride nice though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
I'll do it again and get pics before I mount the XTRs,kind of a before and after. I had tennis shoes on tonight and didn't really want to climb off to get pics.

Would you go with the 27-10-14's for the front and the 27-12-14 for the rear or would you look for something that is in the 26 overall height size? The Carlisle Mud Wolfs come in 26-9-14 front and 26-11-14 rears.
Take care

I don't think those would fit without spacers, as there is not that much clearance for width, especially in the rear, it looks pretty tight to me. If I had the money, I would go with the Maxxis Zilla's, only an inch wider on front and rear. This site seems to have a good price, and I am not 100% sure if they would fit in the rear without spacers. I think the SS212 rims would look awesome!! If only I was rich!!

Highoctane, we definately need some pics of that thing in the mud, and preferably a vid if you could!!
