Tires

Updates on what everyone is running.
I bent a tierod and killed a tire so I am due for some new ones and put 1700 miles them too.Want to get away from the mudders (I have been running 25"zillas) so I have only couple choices in 25" sport tires that are 6ply or greater and dont cost a huge amount. The kenda klaws that come in 25" and 23" and the kenda bearclaws. I was thinking the terra cross from itp but for over $100 a piece I'll pass. Any thoughts? or just post up what your running and what you think of the ride quality.I found the zillas grabbed every root and stone then jerked the handle bars out from your hands.

I'm still on stock and can probably ride these out until next year at this point. When I was looking around and asking around one of the guys that rides with us highly recommended AMS Swamp Fox Plus tires.

Good luck whatever choice you make!

I was thinking going back to stock size so the swamp fox regulars would work great and they are 6 ply.The swamp fox plus would be alot like the zillas too much bite for hard pack rutted rooty trails.

I'm running Artrax CTX 25" There like the Maxxis Big horn,but I paid $250 to my front door for all four.

How is the ride quality. I'm stilll tired of feeling like I'm riding a tractor.


So yesterday I noticed that not only did I bend the tierod but actually bent the lower a-arm so its straight now, the right side has a slight bend to it.Its enough to make everything look a little off and ride a bit funny too.
I replaced the tierod already.

the ride is great. and they have great traction

So Ive gone with the kenda Bear klaws 25" not so meaty.


AND could someone send me a pic of the front would like to compare the alignments. I still think my alignments off. Hard to tell with one tire having a 1/8 less tread in the middle.

How do you like the bear klaws?

 

[aces3]

I like them allot better than the zillas I had. Still not fond of the offset on aftermarket wheels though

I am still really suprised that no one makes an aftermarket wheel with closer to stock offset!
