Terracross !  I've had them on 2 of my Rangers and they work very well in all conditions. The Bighorns are nice too.
Unless your in deep heavy mud they are the best all around tire for any UTV or ATV.

I use Big Horns on my RZR.  They work good on rock, snow and in the desert.  I don't do any mud bogging so I can't give any recommendation either way for the mud.  The Big Horns have lugs on the side of the tires which help when driving on rocky canyons.  They give a pretty smooth ride also.

ya ive looked into bighorns before but if they clean out in mud as poorly as the stock ranger tires, im not interested. i got raped by a tiny mudhole this past wknd cuz my stockers just plain would not clean out  BBana

but, at the same time, theyre probably a better tire for the situations i drive in most of the year. i just dont want this wknd to repeat itself. wish there was a tire that could do it all...

I am not a big mud person, but what mud I have went through, my Big Horns didn't let me down. For the type of riding say you do, I would go with the Big Horns.

I use swamp lites on all my ATV's and Side x Sides. I love them and they do great in the mud. Why don't you send Bigdog800efi a pm and get him to quote you a price. He owns Fox Valley ATV . Good luck with your choice.
