I run 27-10-12 Mud Lites on the front, and 27-12-12s on the back. 470 miles and several dozen miles of road riding and the wear is virtually nonexsistent. I did correct my alignment though when I got it. Most 500s come out of the crates with front end alignment WAY off... and it will eat tires like they're going out of style... on the road. Not to mention it makes steering squirrely at high speeds.

I'm using 25 inch Dirt Devils in the summer where most riding is sand/gravel trails and some two-track roads.In the fall I bought a set of 26 inch Kenda Executioners for the winter months.I'm very happy with both sets of tires.
How good do the Executioners do in the mud? how much heavier are they over stock?[/quote]
The Executioners are mounted on ITP steel wheels and weigh 35 pounds each.Al four are the same size(26x10-12).I never weighed the stock tires and wheels.I sold them right after I bought the Dirt Devils.With the Executioners you have to be careful with the throttle,They dig like crazy.The swamps are pretty much froze over right now,so it's alot of fun with about 8 inches of snow and good hard bottom underneath.

Mud machine

Ordered from www.Mud-Throwers.com

Paid 100 for each shipped

I think they are a good all around tire. They like to dig in the snow but I do have 10 psi in them now, they are good on a trail and unless the grass is really soft they don't rip up the lawn unless I am pulling a heavy seine. And they do swim pretty good too. I am not selling them but I like them


You paid $400 shipping?
Sorry to confuse you each tire cost $100.00 which included the shipping it took to get it to my house.

how rough of a ride are the Bi/Tri Claws when on roads and how do they wear
The tires are pretty smooth riding on the trails and they are tough to wear down on pavement

You can take it to your local dealer and they can correct it if it is off. But make sure it's off first. We wrap string around the tires, and make sure the bars are dead straight, and adjust the tie-rods to our best guess.

Hey guys, Well I spent alot of time searching for my tires and after all the opinions on here that I got and reading online opinions plus calculating costs I settled on the Bear Claws, 26x9x12 front, 26x12x12 rear and am very happy so far. They seem like exactly what I wanted and fit perfectly. Now for anyone looking for an asphalt driving tire there is no better than the ITP All Trails that were made for ATV's and Rhino type vehicles that drive exclusively on paved roads, such as security vehicles. They will handle trails, snow, etc, but forget mud. So depends on the riding but I love my Bear Claws and couldn't beat the price $255 to my door.
