RTV 900 2013 Bighorn

[Antoinet111]

Hy guys, I come from France.

I need your help, I work on the mud in the winter and I have some problems with the ground clearance, I want a lift kit and changing the size of the tires.

do you have some suggestion, I look the Maxxis bighorn 26x12x12.


And I want put a big winch on the front.


Thank you very much.

Tony

Welcome to the forum.

I have the lift kit and the 25x10x12 Bighorn tires.

When I got my tires, they stood 26.5" tall.

I don't know if I would go with the 26x12x12. They may rub in the front when turning sharp, even with the lift kit.

Hy, maybe it's better to found a 26 10 12 for the front.

where did you found your lift kit?

the big horns are nice tires but i don't think they will suit your needs in the mud.

 

[Antoinet111]

ok, what did you prefer?

I need a mix between mud and road, but, I work alone every time in the middle of the fields, and sometimes i'm blocked in the mud....

it' why I need a winch too.

Welcome Antoinet111. We have a cattle farm so there is a lot of mud and such at times. I am pleased with my Black water Evolutions. I have no lift kit and use 9 in front and 11 in back. 26 size. They are great for going through most of what I face. That being said, I don't want to go into "the bottom". That is 20 acres of bog - standing water in old plowed field -and no solid ground most of the year.
Ditches and most wet areas are not a problem though. I don't like the xtrs.. I had 2 sets go bad and still had great tread.
Good luck with your decision. Doc has a sticky thread on tires too.

Tire question

This is a link to an earlier post I sent comparing tire load capacity.

Doesn't address your question about mud handling but might also factor into your final decision.

Hello, I come back for explain my choice.

I buy a couple of Maxxis Bighorn 26x10x12 on the front and 26x12x12 on rear.

Everything was good, I have a lot of space for turn and no problems of touching anywhere.

the grip was excellent, the mud go out of the tires.
I run with 1 Bar of pressure for the mud and 1.5 Bar on the road (I have 10 km/h of different between two pressures)
I except 200 hours before changing.
I paid 500€ Tax inc.


That's all folks...
