My stock Black Stone tire’s are getting to the point of needing to be replaced. I would like to replace them with a set of original Bighorns in the stock sizes (27x9-12 fronts & 27x11-12 rears). After looking at the available sizes, I noticed that the rear size is only available in a 27x12-12 when searching the “original” Bighorn. Any issues with going 1” wider on tire size? I will be mounting them on the factory black steel wheels that my machine came with. Thanks.

Thanks, if I’d go with the 2.0 I can get the stock size. I think that I prefer the originals tho.
Original is a tuffer tire. What terrain do you ride in?

Pretty all of the main Wisconsin trail systems. Black River Falls, Hurley, Dunbar, Oconto, Florence. Terrain ranges from sand, mud, railroad ballast, gravel, rock, and road travel. I had originals on my Rincon and really liked them.

I forgot your in wi. Like me. I much prefer an automotive style tire for our state. Plus they do really well in the snow too. If you want the best from my experience. Tensor regulator. Or rockabilly. Tensor is better on blacktop. Rockabilly is better in mud.

I took a look at those two. It appears that neither are available in my size.

You should be able to get the tensor in a 28x10x12. I had them on the 700 and 1000.
