From what I read while researching it is there are 2 new designs (both of which I attached on the first page).

I believe MRJ had a set of those on their daily-driver Land Rover which randomly had a blowout with his wife driving and young son in the back. Had a tire blow-out at 70+ MPH, IIRC. He bought them thru a former vendor on here.

They're good looking tires, but after that I'm going to steer clear of them.

unfortunatly the only review i can give you on the bighorns is that they make a great stereo stand in the corner of my garage, as i have yet to put them on my jeep.

You can get the Maxxis through 4wheelparts, they just have to order them from Interstate Tire so the price isn't the best. Not sure, maybe Von could chime in, but I think that Ben Hanks can get Maxxis tires too.
Personally, I think the ProComp Extreme M/T is the best multi-use tire for the money. Great tread life, smooth, quiet, and great offroad traction. But I also like the Maxxis Bighorn or Mickey Thompson MTZ's.

If I were looking for a dual purpose Mud Terrain tire I'd have to go with the BFG KM2's no questions asked. The few sets I've seen offroad seem to perform well and have BFG quality built into them.
For me right now, BFG All-Terrain's do the job.

my bud ran 35" X-terrains for over a year n half and still had 1/2 tread on his 76 Ford! not to shabby on price either
BFG MT hands down for a dual purpose rig. I have them on my jeep and they get good mileage and work well off road.
I used to have the MTRs on my truck and would never purchase them again. They wear too fast. I now have the Toyo MTs and it looks like I will get twice the mileage out of them vs the MTRs, but they are a hard compound and I doubt they would do as well off road as the BFG MT.

That is where I got mine from
.. I love my Bighorns.. I detest Les Schwab - When I got my tires on they said my alignment was off (it was and I knew it) and that the warranty would be void or some crap if I didn't get it fixed.. I was sick at the time so I told them to just do the alignment.. well they said it was good then and I drove to Moab and back and in that 1 trip with bad alignment (that they did) it ate about 50% of the tread..the Schwab said tuff luck.. after doing my own alignment the rears that are now on the front have 90% of their tread left after a year...anyhow the Bighorns seem to last quite a while.. 15K on them now lots of offroad miles and no issues at all.. they clear mud well and deep snow.. they are not the best on light dusting of snow compared to my old BFG AT's but I love them.. hopefully when this set dies someone else can get them for me other than the Schwab

Seriously? I've always looked at ProComp as the bastard child of 4x4 products. I've never been impressed with their tires, esp the X-Terrain.

That's been my opinion of ProComp as well.

I know, I know... but Pro Comp finally got one right.
If you like, or have heard anyone say good things about the Maxxis Big Horn, this is simply a better tire by comparison.
