I know, here we go again, but hey I’m a newbie what can I say.

Sorry to bother everyone with yet another tire question, but I could use some advice to help me make a decision on which tires to get for my Warrior

After much research (well actually web surfing) I have narrowed my choices down to these, All Trak’s, Sur Trak’s, or Spider Tracks. I was planning on keeping the stock size or possibly going up a little for some extra ground clearance. I don’t know if there is any advantage to changing the stock front Dunlop’s (any opinions on this?), so I will probably keep them until they wear-out. This ATV is primarily used for casual trail riding, and the terrains I ride in consist mostly of sand, dirt and mud, with an occasional dose of red clay. While I did not get this machine for its prowess in mud, I do have to cross some sloppy mud holes at times.

I have noticed the All Trak’s, and Sure Trak’s appear to be manufactured by two different tire companies Cheng Shin, and Maxxis. The tires look identical and both have the same 2-ply rating, however the Cheng Shin’s are definitely cheaper. Does anyone know what the story is with this? Are there any quality/reliability concerns with the Cheng Shin tires?

 

first off All Tracks and Sur tracks are made by Maxxis not chen ching**. spider tracs are nice they are itp. the only reason to go with SP T- is they are 4 and 6 ply. if u get in surious mud go w/ sur tracks but if just trail ride and stuff go w/ the spider tracs.

 

Thanks for the reply; I think I will ultimately choose either the Sur Traks, or Spider’s.

Regarding Maxxis Tires (not that it really matters), they are a wholly owned US subsidiary of Cheng Shin Tire Co. There is a ton of info on the web indicating this, in fact what sparked my curiosity is when I visited this web site www.treadepot.com and found they were selling Sur-Trak and All-Trak tires (and others) under the heading of Cheng Shin Tires. At first I was thinking perhaps they were Chinese knock-offs, until I discovered they were actually the parent company of Maxxis (they may even have the Maxxis name on the side, can’t tell from the picture), good prices though.

 

I put the spiders on my warrior and they hook up great, I do not like them at high speeds but this could be that my alighnment is some what of and I need to ajust my suspension. They ride some what rough alos compared to stock tires, I'll post back after, oh yea i paired them with holeshots on the front.

 

well after further riding with them I have come to love them, I had ajusted my alighment and suspension and these tires rock, they just ripp up everything.

 

Glad to hear the spiders are working for you. After reading many posts on this, and other sites, I decided to go with Dirt Devils. I must say I am very impressed with the performance of these tires especially for the price. They perform very well in many different conditions, and they definitely do everything I need them to. Thanks for all the reply's.

 

I rode with a guy this weekend that had DD's on his warrior http://www.krawdaddy.net/atv/spillway_oct_12_03.htm I was so impressed, I'm thinkning about getting a set as extras for my rappy!

 

Hey great pictures, looks like a fun time for sure. I did find it intresting that your friend with the Warrior used DD’s up front as well as the rear; it seems like they would tend to make the steering harder.

 

yea I was thinking the same, thats why I through the holeshots in front and put the spidys in the back

 

I have been riding on spiders for years and love them. They are a little heavy but they are 6 ply. I did try the Sur Trak's, they do hook up in a straight line but suck in turns. The spiders some times hook up to much, but are very predictable. Just my .02
