Anyone with comments on the new Carlisle Badlands XTR tires that come on the '04's? I'm looking to replace the crappy Dunlops on my 375. They are worse than bad in sand. (And everywhere else).

I want a tire that has a smooth ride, good handling, and good all-around traction. The XTR's are supposedly 6-ply, too.

 

We put the stock tires back on my dads 04 400. We had the 27" gators on and the badlands stock tires I think are really nice. Nice smooth ride, traction is great. I would get the badlands XTR's. After a few miles the gators for the bigfoot kit were getting chewed up fast, so we put the stock tires on. There is prolly only 15-20 miles on them, and know signs of wear. I know thats not alot of miles but after 20 or so miles with the big tires they wear down fast.
