Has anyone ever tried these? Are they strong? Do the old up well? Are they good for trail/mx? Snow?

Thanks!

for general riding and trails....i think they are some of the best on the market. they wear well.....grip good and are very tough tires.

I ran a set for about 2 years. They were on the quad when I bought it used. I never had any problems with them and the tread seems to last forever.

they are real good tough tire and you can ride a good length if you have a flat but they are HEAVY as ****.

1. strong
2. HEAVY
3. good tread for trail riding
4. not the best for MX due to the weight but anything would do
5. good puncture resistance

Ive had mine for about almost two years. They are heavy. You can run them flat, pretty much bullet proof. They spin easily on hardpacked surfaces and in tall grass. Ever been riding down a trail and blurped the throttle to hop over that ditch or log? These rears spin too much to do that gracefully. But if your looking for a tire that will last more than a couple of years, this is the tire to get.

Ive had no luck with them in the snow. The knobs on the tires are too wide, too much contact patch. Im going with stock rears for the snow this year.

For as long as they last, I will get another set. Although, the set I have, I dont think they will need replacing for another 4-5 years.

I have yet to attempt a burn out on the street with that machine. I did it a few times with my 300EX a few years back. Only thing, I had to get my buddy to lift the rear end up to get em going.:rolleyes:

yea i will agree with most....they do last a long time, they are heavy, they are a good trail type tire, they do pack up with mud and its interesting that somebody mentioned taking some of the lugs out hehehe i did that to mine!:D By the way mine are for sale if anyone is interested. They are 20x10x9 and are mounted on ITP .190. i have pics but i need to resize them hehehe tooooo big for here. i guess you could say they are kuztom grooved hehe
