Ok, I belive I have eliminated the tire selection down to the Maxxis Bighorn Radial (only comes in 25") or the 589 M/S (26") tire. The reason I would like the larger diameter is for a slightly higher ground clearance.
Does anyone have any experience directly with these two tires? I will go with the Bighorn if it is stiff enough of a tire that the sidewalls dont collapse like the stock and some extra ground clearance is obtained...I just want a tire that is hard compound (i do some pavement riding to trails) that grips well has decent ride (doesn't feel like the tire is square). For the price I am very tempted to go with the 589.
Any comments would be appriciated, although it will be untill after I get tax money before I get some tires, and a ramsey winch (with wirless remote i am lasy!)...hehe

and YES I am a looser with the most posts on the forum... :-(
