25" = 26 1/4" on the bighorns? That is unusual in an ATV tire. Most of the mfg's usually call a 25" tire a 26". I have heard lots of good reviews on the bighorns also, so will probably end up going this route.
How much air are you guys running in these to get 26 1/4"?

I'm not a tide expert on psi on radials vs. ATV tires.
I run 4-6 on my ATV (including my 589's) but on the bighorns, they would be pretty much flat with that amount. At 12-14, they're upright (with a little bulge at the bottom) and seem OK under load. Haven't thrown 1500# in the box with these tires yet but will be watching.

You will have to run way more air in the tires then that to support the weight of the RTV

After experimenting for a few weeks, it seems like 18 lbs is about right for my liking with the Bighorns. I'm sure people could get by with less, but I frequently will pile in several 80 pound bags of concrete, haul some dirt, or haul a full load of firewood. With 18 I have not experienced any ill effects and all seems well. Man, compared to the way it was with the stock "Worksite" tires, this thing will climb like a mountain goat now! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm with you on that one Brent.
Thanks for the 18psi. Although the RTV's been out most every day, I haven't done any heavy work since putting on the Bighorns. I'll increase to 18.

Brian, I don't think you can go wrong there. I was going to mention it to you before, but I wanted to get more "work" time on them. I started at 22 and worked down. Below 18 I get some serious sagging in the rear with a load; enough where it could roll off the rim on a turn. At 18, all is well, and I don't want to run more in them than I have to. I've loaded (don't tell) about 2000 pounds of dirt in the bed and had not problems. Also, running around with no load except my German Shepherd Dog (who insists on riding in the bed anytime the RTV moves) and it still operates fine; no hard feeling or problems even when literally blazing new trails up a steep hill. You ought to see the dog when doing that! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif You can hear those toe nails digging into the bedliner!! Well, actually I put one of those tacky rubber mats used to line tool box drawers in there for him, so it isn't too bad. It doesn't matter where I'm going, he won't get out. My buddy...
