Hi all what kind of tire do you ride with? what would be your #1 overall tire for atv's? mud? snow? trail? I just bought some 26" gators and love them. Whats your favorite? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I recently bought some 26" Gators also. I love them. Great in the mud and surprisingly smooth on the trail. They look so mean too. Haven't had a chance to test them in the snow yet. Probably won't either. 3-4" is a pretty big dump here in North Carolina. Great pics Fufighter. Especially #4. Usually, when I run whitewater I do it in a boat. Looks like fun.

 

Thanks LIMON i thought the gators were going to be a rumbely ride too! even on ashphalt they are very smooth and your right about them looking mean, i mail ordered mine and almost fell on my a$$ when i first saw them up close!!!!

SS Vamps baby. Great All around tire and has been out a long time, plus if you get a hole in your tire it wont go flat.

 

I'm getting ready to order a set of Maxxis Bighorn bias,26". I think for riding here in Oregon they will be a great all-round tire.
I'll let you know.

Holeshot ATR's on ITP Magnum 12X7" rims. The bike is way more sporty, wider, and more stable. Big difference from stock or the Blackwaters I had on before.

 

I have been very happy with our Goodyear Mud Runners. ATV Magazine voted them the best all around ATV tire 2 years in a row. They have been great in the snow, mud, and trail tire. We don't do mud pits or sand, but everything else they are great. They will have about 25% of their tread left when they have 4000 miles on them and time to get replaced. Probably will replace them with those new Maxxis Bighorns and their MaxLite 8 Spoke wheels and put the Rubicon wheels on the Rancher.

 

They might not be the "best" but the Claws are a great tire. Pretty decent on the hard pack, good in the snow, and great in the mud.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I'd buy'em again.

 

Bear Claws have my vote. They suit me just fine in Alberta, Canada for all seasons.

 

For all around use I like the ChenShen Jackals had them on my 425 Magnum for 4 yrs and held up great.The 489XTs are a good tire too(they will be my next on the Scrammy).As for the Gators I have them on my 400 Sportsman and they do great it mud and on trails but watch out for sand they dig down and will bury you found this out the hard way.
