- My Can Am Commander stock tires were 14" Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 Tires 27x11x14, and 27x9x14.
I put over 6700 km (4200 miles) on them and I felt they were great all terrain tires. They wore well, were durable, comfortable and stylish.

Maxxis Bighorn 1.0 Review by Maritimer • REVIEW: Maxxis Big Ho...
Ive always found maxxis bighorns to be the best riding tire on the market. Great Vid.
Thanks, glad you liked it. I agree they are an excellent tire.
Great review! I like to run my stock tires to death before upgrading too... Flyin Brian's RZR Turbo Dynamix came with these and he shredded a sidewall at about 700 miles. I'm glad you included the concerns and different experiences. Great tread pattern, the original Bighorns are tougher, but 4200 miles is outstanding for any off-road tire! Great point about directional tread patterns handling speed better, I agree 100%
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you liked the review. Thanks for watching.
Great review. I have recommended BigHorns to almost everyone considering new tires. On my RZR S I had the original BigHorns. Sold it after 7,800 hard km's driving around SE New Brunswick and not a single flat. Other than the sharp square corners of the knobs when new being slightly rounded, the knobs we're pretty close to same depth. A friend bought a RZR S with BigHorns when mine had 6000 kms and they looked quite similar. Without a doubt I would buy BigHorns again. Never knew the 3.0's were out as I have been away for a few years but look forward to your review on that. On my Outlander Max 850 XT-P I have Terra Cross tires as stock and they seem to be doing well also. At around the 1500 km mark I picked up a nail. Plugged that and rode 700 kms since trouble free. It sure is nice when your new atv comes stock with a descent tire and no need to fork out a bunch more money on rubber. Great vid.
Thanks for the detailed comment Stephen. I'm glad to know there are others out there having good luck with them also.
I had the Yamaha branded BH 2.0(2p/F 4p/R) on my Wolverine R-spec with 9psi on all four corners. I got 4500 miles from them with ZERO punctures and good wear with all the various trail conditions Maine has to offer. The Wolverine crowd couldn’t believe I got that type of longevity from them as most would have one or two destroyed within 500 miles. I ran the 27” Sedona Coyotes for 1600 miles last year and really enjoyed them save lackluster performance in slick muddy conditions. I just purchased a Wolverine X2 along with the original Maxxis Bighorns in the 27” size. I shall see how well they do. There’s lots of good tire choices available, I say stick with what works best for you, “popular” or not.
Glad to head you had good luck with them too Tim. I was in Maine a few summers ago and really enjoyed it there. Nice scenery and trails. Thanks for watching.
The big horn 2.0 I find is a great 4wheeler tire little light for side by side my opinion have a lot of miles on 2.0 and originals highly recommend
The sidewalls seem to be their weak spot, unless you get the 29" 8 ply. Definitely a great ATV tire. Thanks for posting.
Got to agree with you on these tires, Run the 2.0 on my XP 550 since 2011 with very little problems. I then changed to the 3.0 in 29" on same bike love the difference in handling. I just got a 2016 850 SP Tour and put the 29" on it again happy. As said best all round tire IMP. Mike S.
Thanks Mike. I'm glad to hear you've had good luck with the 2.0 as well. I'm also glad to hear you like the 3.0 I think I will like them. Thanks for watching!
Have plans for buying Bighorn for my atv, but it will probably be next year. Thank you for your informative review.
I hope you have good luck with them. Thanks for watching.
Thank you
Just got a new 2019 Can-am commander 800-xt. Glad to have seen this review. Will be keeping an eye on the pressure for sure now. 30 km on it so far.:) Happy Trails.
Thanks for watching. You'll love your Commander.
Good review buddy ! Super honest and you brought up some great points ! I have the Big Horn 1.0's which I love (heavier and more durable than the 2.0's) but it seems like you had some good luck with yours. I'm looking forward tossing how the 3.0's treat you. thanks for sharing !
Thanks Maritimer. Yes, I had great luck with mine and I certainly didn't baby them. I'll make another video on what I think of the 3.0's later this year.
have them on my 2019 commander limited with 700 mile on them worked awsome in the snow.
They definitely are a good all around tire. I've heard Mud Lite XTR tires are excellent in snow as well. Thanks for watching.
Nice, honest review. I was going to get these for my old Polaris and ended up going with Maxxis Zillas only because our hunting land tends to be pretty muddy. Maxxis makes a great product.
Thanks John. I haven't used Zillas but I've heard good things about them being a good mud tire. Thanks for watching.
Great video, I was referred to your channel from Maritimers channel on his 1.0 review. Great to see that you got lots of mileage out of them! I have a set of 27 knock offs that I’ve ran for about 3 years so far on my 07 Brute Force 650i that were used to begin with an I’m throughly impressed with those. When I go to replace, I’d like to get a set of comparable big horns. It seems that we have similar driving styles so I’ll definitely that your review into consideration when purchasing! Thanks and take care!
That was nice of Maritimer to mention my review on his channel. I put a link to his Bighorn review in the description section of this video and the 3.0 review as well. Thanks for stopping by!
thanks for your help with me all brothers and subscribers 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good review, now if I can find one the Maxxis Vipr I like them better.
They have a nice aggressive looking tread pattern.
I grew up on very soft atv tires on machines with little or no suspension, three wheels, with little cargo capacity. Now, I drive a machine that is much lighter and smaller than yours, at much lower speeds, as terrain allows. Some people who ride where I do might call me a "wimp," I say I wish to preserve our trails which tend to be soft and fragile. Maybe some of those riders might move back home... maybe not enough of those tough guys.
Anyway: My attitude, as you might have guessed, is to "tread lightly." I want maximum traction with least slippage and damage to the ground. I have muskeg and river silt, some rocks, not mud. I want my trails to last. The land is hard to move through at speed, although some jerks think they can. I'm loosing that fight, I think. Maybe to the point that SXS and ATV may be outlawed.
Too many idiots don't get it or don't care: No one can use the trail you destroyed, and everyone will hate you for destroying it.
Anyway... Bighorn 1, vs 2.0 have different sizes, which is better? You like the 3.0 (I watched that video too) because it had front directional tread. I run light and slow. Same size front vs rear makes sense not only for traction, but for pragmatic reasons (any failed tire is the same size as a spare).
I notice that much of the terrain you drive on looks like regional roads, at fairly high speed. Why not just drive your truck? My Land Cruiser is slower than much of your video, but it's road legal, and it can haul much more than any Can-Am, and in a heated space.
It seems like as creature-creep seeps into our road vehicles, they become less capable of basic off road performance.
I digress. Your SxS is very heavy, powerful, and fast. Can you translate your experience for those of us who ride light and slow?
I like your attitude, you don't seem condescending to people who don't ride like you do, this is why I'm commenting on your channel..
Can you direct me to someone in the know regarding my requirements? BTW, I bought a set of like-sized bighorn 2.0 tires. It's been an age, and they haven't yet arrived. Maybe I'll be the test mule this summer... if they ever get here.
You can't go wrong with Bighorn 2.0 tires, they are a fantastic all-around tire. You won't tear anything up if you're riding at a relaxed pace, unless you get stuck and must power your way out, but I think there would be minimal damage. You'll have all kinds of great grip with them, and you'll get lots of wear out of them too.
I drive dirt roads if I must, but I'd rather be on trails. Don't let the videos fool you, most of our riding is trails. I don't always have my camera on when we ride trails because many viewers on RUclips don't like watching us drive slowly so I'll cut in the parts where we were moving quicker and leave the slow stuff out. Watching the videos may give you the impression we are always driving 60-80 km/h but most of our riding is much slower.
I think people should drive however they like as long as it's reasonable, safe, and respectful to others. People don't always agree on what's reasonable and safe though. I may drive faster than someone else on the same trail, but it certainly doesn't mean I'm driving in an unsafe manner. But I certainly have witnessed people driving too fast for specific trail conditions, driving beyond their abilities, and driving unsafe machines with bald tires, bad brakes etc. It's usually the same 1-3% of people. I don't think taking trails access away from most people that follow the rules is fair. The people tearing up trails are going to do it whether they're allowed on trails or not.
I drove ATV's for a long time before buying my Commander. I drove those slower mostly because the centre of gravity is higher and they are not as stable as a SxS and there's no seat belt, or roll cage protecting a person. Even when I was driving my ATV's slower I always had fun. My side by side is not really that heavy. It's about 1400 pounds, much lighter than a Jeep. Driving a side by side is a much different experience than an ATV, and sometimes I miss driving them but there is too much convenience with a side by side for me to switch back. Being able to have another person and carry more gear easily is a bonus. Side by Sides are so much more stable and comfortable than an ATV you easily find yourself driving more quickly over the same terrain than you would drive an ATV over. There really is no comparison to driving a side by side and a motor vehicle like a Land Cruiser. I could drive my Commander over a rocky rutted road at 40 km/h where the Land Cruiser could only do 10 km/h without damaging it because the suspension is just not set up for that.
Thanks for your message, I hope you like your new tires and have great luck with them.
@@EastCoastATV Thank you for your thoughtful response. My attitude is slightly different.
I drive a light SxS not as a "big ATV," but as a "small 4x4."
I have several reasons for this attitude.
First, I can't really justify even an modern 4x4 ATV, they're just so ridiculous (When I was young, the Honda Big Red 250 was the really big machine!)
Second, although you can't really "ride" a 4-wheel atv the way you could ride a 3-wheeler, it's not quite as limited as a SxS in terms of "body english" having a control input.
Third, I'm not as physically able as I was once, and my passenger is usually geriatric, literally. So, cargo, not help, in so far as control or recovery is concerned.
It's better for me to think, for the time being, that my little sxs is a "small jeep" rather than a "big ATV." This may change as my needs and capabilities do, but this is where I am now.
Just now, I'm very annoyed that local shops don't provide some basic kit that would cost as much to ship as it would be to buy if I went online. The 36" Hi-Lift jack, for example. Or just about any Hi-Lift accessory, like mounting equipment, weather protection, or storage. I can buy 20 48" High-Lift jacks locally.... I already have one, for the afore mentioned Land Cruiser.
I want a three foot Hi-Lift, the little storage box with a tree-saver, wd-40, other goodies, and the tube mount. Also, a 3 foot spade shovel, and a 3 foot ax, both with fiberglass handles and tool/metal covers. Not a hard ask, you'd think, right?
Right? Ugh.
Great review! Thanks!
Thanks Scott, much appreciated.
I have a 2020 Polaris sportsman 570 with stock tires. i ride the same type of ground that you do. i have been wondering between the bear claws or maxis ones for my replacement next fall. great vid bud hope to see more. Cheers from Mount Pearl!
Thank you! You couldn't go wrong with either one of the tires you mentioned. I haven't used the bear claws but I know a few people that have and they all seem love them. Good luck with your choice!
Great review.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Good alternative would be the zillas but they arent radial.
I never tried those, but I've heard good things about them. I don't mind if they're not radials. Thanks for watching!
We're your 2.0 8ply or six? I'm looking at traxion gripper which is another rip off, of the bignorn, it's 8 ply for my midsize to replace the absolute garbage Carlisle it came with, third time out punctured a hole in them. Super disappointing, considering cost of machine. This was yesterday. Also looking at a ITP Evolution, which is way more aggressive. Both get good reviews, mostly trail riding here in Bc, mountainous where u do encounter shale from time to time. Cheers and thanks.
The Bighorn 2.0 is a six ply tire. Most stock tires are light weight unfortunately. I had a friend buy a set of Blackwater Evolutions and he hated them. He bought a new set before we went on a week trip and he had three flats during the week, all on the same tire. He replaced that one when we got home and he said the tires wore out really fast, and we mostly do trail riding on hard pack type trails. Sometimes getting a flat comes down to bad luck.
@@EastCoastATVdid he get flats on the Bighorns or the evolutions
Did you mention the number of plies?
PS. Good review
Shoot, I forgot to mention it. They are 6 ply as far as I know.
I just bought 6 ply bearclaws for my 2011 trv not sure how good they are thou, Neither ride on them yet. took off original Carlies of the front,(which was not bad. No cracks) and Hercules of the back(second set) they were full of cracks and slow leaks..
I have friends that run bear claws and they like them a lot. They've run multiple sets because they had good luck with them. Hopefully you will have good luck with them too. Thanks for watching, and posting.
Did you get the htr's
Yeah no go on these for me crap. I was gonna buy a set of 4 for 500 bucks brand new off of EBay but all I ride in is sharp rocks coal country Pa anthracite. I’m thinking about trying the gbc Terra Masters 26x11x14 in rears 26x9x14 in front their 10 ply I’m just worried on how those will do in the occasional soft muddy ground. Where I ride it either all rock ,coal or soft muddy dirt. I’m thinking Terra masters because of the 10 ply rating or Dirt Commanders. 2.0 8 ply rating. I hate picking tires
which bighorns would you choose, if you were doing just trail ridings combined with asphalt roads too ?
I would choose the 2.0. The 3.0 are loud on pavement.
Just bought a new maverick sport and these tires are pathetic. Can't see how to post a pic. The corners are rounded from 150 kms. 36 hrs old machine.
Are you driving on a lot of asphalt?
