The Big Brown truck brought some Bighorns
I'm sitting in the house this afternoon and hear my dog barking. I look out and see a Big Brown Truck backing in the gate. Christmas came Early......Someone sent me a set of 26" Bighorns on ITP wheels.....WOW! Actually Ken had them shipped to me so they wouldn't be sitting on his porch all week while he was gone. I did a little measuring to see how they would compare to mine and his are quite large. First thisng I dropped the pressure from 25 psi + down to 10 psi. I put a front and rear against the wall and measured straight out to a framing square. Front measured about 26 3/4", rears are 27 1/4" . Then I ran a string around and took the circumfrence to get a more accurate measurement. The fronts go right at 84 1/4" and the rears are a touch over 85".
Let's do the math,
84.25 divide by 3.14159 = 26.817" for the fronts
85.125 divided by 3.14159 = 27.096" for the rears.
Both sit taller than the 27" bighorns I currently have on the Rhino. I think once he gets about 30 miles on them the sidewalls and the contact area relax and he will be real close to the 26" mark.

Ken,
Did you go with steel or Al. rims?
Bill...I got the BLACK Aluminum ITP rims with the thick bead locker edge...to hopefully make them last longer.

I think we're all missing a VERY IMPORTANT question....
Did Larry KNOW the UPS driver's first name?
