I'm sold on them. I'll have 25's soon.
Note the GC specs. The grizz is the highest!

I got mine on, and love them so far! Traction is great, and ride quality is unreal!!!! I really think I could not have chosen a better tire for my usage.

A bit of feedback on these tires from today: We were climbing a hill with large flat rocks on it that were wet and shiney......I was worried about traction, until I powered the front end up in low range while climbing them!!!! Plenty of bite!!!!!!!

Have you had them in any mud yet? How are they? I know they are not a mud tire but I'm looking for a good all around tire. I do go through mud when I'm riding but I'm not strictly a mud rider.

Since I've had them we just got some rain yesterday, but it was basically just enough to knock down the dust. I always try to get a fair amount of info before drawing an opinion.
I'm sure I'll find mud next weekend, as the place we are going is muddy on the driest days. The good shade in the woods, combined with the springs, and the clay seem to always make for greasy muddy trails....Lots of fun, and a good tire test!

Well we got lots of rain, and I got the Bighorns in the mud! Well, don't toss out your Outlaws, but anything less than all out mud bogging, Bighorns seem to handle well. I did about 24 miles of trail riding and only spun to a stop in one hole up tp the centers of the wheel. I had all 4 spinning in diff lock, and I felt it going down in. I thought it was winch time, but tried reverse, and to my amazement it crawled right out backwards!!! So I went right back to low range and opened it up more than the first time, and it went through without any assist. Truthfully, I couldn't ask for a better trail tire! 
On greasy trails they did very well. I, again, was very pleased.
I plan to get a set of Mudzillas for extreme conditions, like deep snow or a known deep mud ride, but the Bighorns won't make me feel handicapped in any way.

Thanks, that's good info to know.

A Great Big AMEN to the BHs!
I have over 1,500 miles on my 25" Bighorns. They barely look worn. The lugs are ever so slightly rounded, but still look as deep as when new. I haven't actually measured them, but looked at someone else's next to mine that had just bought his 25"s and they looked the same except for the rounding off.
I would certainly buy another set when it comes time.

Another thing. You can rotate your tires from side to side. The Bighorns are not limited to only rotating in one direction. When the leading edge of the lugs get a little worn, simply switch them to the opposite side. If all 4 tires are the same size, you could rotate them like you would on a car!
You will notice that the lugs look different from right to left. Check out the corner angles on the lugs, some face forward and some face backward. This has never bothered me The only way to get them the same is to have black lettering on one side and white lettering on the other facing out.

Use caution when doing that, as your forwad braking traction can be comprimised. If you round off the lugs on acceleration, then the same rounded edge would then be used when you would be trying to stop. I've seen guys try this with dirt bike rear tires, to get a nasty surprise.

I don't know if that would be an issue w/ an ATV or not. I've not had a dirt bike.
You may be right, I just have no personal experience.
