Any reviews on them??? pros and cons? likes and dislikes???

i have no problems with the tires at all. matter of fact i love them considering the price and functionality. i do mostly mud riding so as far as that goes no compaints. They are a little rough on the street but what business does an atv have on the road. The 108 SS are great too. I had a set of the first series and the paint came off of the out edge. I called ITP and they sent me some new ones out free of charge. I only had to pay mounting. Since the replacements i have had no problems either. PS: I am in the Air Force too. I am an instructor down at keesler for PMEL.

Thanks for the info, i have another question i forgot to ask. The question i have is does your foreman turn the tires fine in stock form do you know? i have all stock engine so i am kinda nervous but regardless im still going to use them. The tires are going to be here today and the wheels here on Tuesday so i am pretty excited to try them out. I was stationed at Hill AFB, UT but recently separated after 4 years of service. I was an F-16 Crew Chief and did all the major maintenance and over hauls on the base's 90+ jets.

I had 27" gators on my stock 05' foreman. It turned them no problem. I loved them. All the people around here run gators and have no complaints. I switched to laws to try them out and like them better. Not as good in the trails as gators though. Gators are my fav tire besides laws.

I run about 14-15 for a little extra ground clearance.

I ran 5 pounds. My friens run 7 to 10. Depends on how hard you want your trail riding to be. I even run 5 in my laws, really rough tire. Arms are sore after riding trails for a few hours.

I love the tires..when they keep air.I've had problems with them breaking the bead while playing in mudholes,I don't know what the deal is other than it makes a huge mess on the tire machine at work.The sidewall says no more than 7psi max.I tried running them at 4-5 psi,kept breaking beads,ran them up to 7 still the same problem.Have had better luck at 12psi but still(just yesterday) breaking beads.Luckily they have a tough sidewall and you can ride the bike with 4 flats back to the truck.Any body else have this problem?I've cleaned the rim and tire mounting surfaces no knicks or burrs they just pop when riding trails/mud holes.

I had a problem with keeping air in 2 of mine as well, just add some SLIME in all 4 tires and all was good!

 

[swamprat]

are you guys seating the bead properly on the rim?

 

[TATORNUTZ]

set the bead as best as I could(ran up to 30 psi and set to 12psi)I didn't run it up to 30 until i started having problems.
