Default Best all around rear sport tire???

I've got a 2002 Raptor. I still have the stock meats on it, but just bought a spare pair of rear wheels. I'm looking to get a different type of tire to swap back and forth. I do a little bit of everything as far as riding goes, trails, some mud, light sand, no track racing, and am looking forward to playing in the snow this winter. Does anybody have any suggestions. I've been thinking of the ITP Blackwaters? Any info would be great. Thanks.

put a set of 22" X 12" Super Swamper TSL's on those rims... you'll be amazed... they are lighter & more flexible than the Vamps... lugs are shorter... they ride really well, & are a blast to slide around on... go through the mud & snow great, & wear like Iron

you could also look at the new Dunlop radials, that come stock on the YFZ... The Realtors are supposed to work very well as a floatation tire, on sand & snow, when mounted in reverse... but I've never tried them... for snow, I prefer a taller thinner tire, that can bite the ground under the snow ... mud runners worked as good as anything I've used, I think the radial Big Horns would work just as good, however neither of these tires would fit your rim size...I'd still lean towards the TSL's, which could also be mounted in reverse for snow or sand only use...
