I have a 2021 ZForce 800 trail. Thinking ahead to be prepared (winter down time in PA now), I will do a suspension upgrade to the bandit setup when oem shocks need replaced.

90 % of my riding is on 50" trails at or below 15 mph up down mountains east and out west (pa, wv, va, ID, UT, MT, wy, co).

For my kind of riding I'm thinking square profile 6 or 8 ply  28 or 29" tires will serve well. Anyone have any brand experiences to share/recommend?

'17 800 Trail. I bought a set of Wanda Chinese BigHorn copies and I can't complain, done alright by me. They have quite stiff sidewalls and can be aired way down for snow, to 2 pounds or even 1! Seemed to wear fairly quick and I need a new set but for the money there's nothing about them I regret.
