I have read and reread many threads here about tires and rims. Everyone has likes and dislikes which I appreciate but it makes it hard for me to choose. Last week I went for my first ride - a 63Km (40m) over creek crossings (only left foot got wet), smooth sandy forestry roads, really gnarly hills - steep with big rocks and intimidating boulders, a few mud holes and some fancy steering (straddling) along and around some deep trenches with some pucker power involved. I also bottomed out a few times on big rocks. From what the club members tell me this is standard trail riding in this neck of the woods. Toughest 5 hours I've spent in years!
I am now convinced of two things - I'm cranking the shocks up to the fourth notch from the second and buying a bigger set of tires. I want to keep the original Honda rims and would like to mount Bighorn 1's on them in the 26x9x12 on the front and 26x12x12 on the rear. I don't want to use spacers. Am I on the right track? TIA for comments/advise/etc it will all be appreciated.
