| I moved my 26" Big Horn's from my Grizzly to my Rhino when I bought it. I put about 250 miles on them on my Grizzly and they still looked like new. So far I have put 120 miles on them on the Rhino and they are really showing wear now, lots of scratches and gouges out of the tread. I guess the added weight is whats causing it. | |

| The extra weight is the Killer !
I do have 3000 miles on my 26in BH's but they are getting pretty thin ! | |

| Rocky terrain takes its toll on them too.
They're the original Bighorns and not the 2.0's right? The 2.0s are softer | |

| When I sold my rzr s the Bighorns on it were about 50-60% tread with 2500 miles on them. That's why I got them for the rhino. All things considered, it's hard to beat them. | |

| I've noticed my 26" Bighorn OGs are wearing pretty good in the back. The front tires look great, practically brand new, but the back are showing some wear after ~400 miles.
I have all skinny tires, though. They spin a lot in 2WD, more than I realized until someone else drove my Rhino and I was able to ride behind. If I am on the gas hard in 2WD, the rear tires are spinning. I never knew until I saw with my own eyes.
To the OP - the Rhino is going to wear the tires. You have more weight and more width. With a locked rear gear case, sharp turns scrub more than on an ATV. The ATV has about half the weight as the Rhino, and the distance between the outside and inside tire in a turn is less than on a Rhino.
Make a sharp turn at low speed in your lawn with an ATV and it'll disturb the ground. Do the same thing on a Rhino and it really tears up the ground. This is why your tires are wearing more quickly on the Rhino than your Grizzly. | |

| I too noticed that my rear tires spin alot, I was actually surprised by that. I am still getting used to it and I have been taking it easy on the corners since I had to take my rear spacers off, but I have been power sliding more and more in it. | |
