Does anyone have a pic of the new tires on the sp 500h.o 04.5 modle???

is there a huge differnce betwenn the 04 and o4.5 tires??
Do the badlands look bald compared to the rawhide grip??

Thanks alot

 

Can't help you with a picture, but I have seen both and own the Carlisle Badlands. The tread pattern looks about the same if you were judging them on aggressive "looks". The Carlisles are radial 6 ply and the Goodyears are bias 2 ply. The 6 ply should be much more puncture resistant . The Carlisle Badlands weigh about 5# less per tire which helps performance.

all i would use it for is riding in the snow no mud. climbing up tiny rocks like on the side of train tracks to drive down the center of them(if that makes sense lol) umm.. normal riding. I wouldnt be doing that hard of work on it. Oh also pulling a 1000lbs trailer.

 

Either tire would be great for what you have in mind. If you have a choice I would suggest the Carlisle Badlands because they are radials, lighter and more puncture resistant.

I've ridden with both tires. The rawhides are great for mudding, but rough on smooth surfaces with less control.
The badlands tires have very good control over the smoother surfaces and trails when going at faster speeds. I'd be happy w/ the badland tires!

 

The only place the Rawhides are better is in the deep mud.

 

Hey Polarisman 500, I can take a pic of the Badlands and send it to you if you would like. Just let me know. I really like the Badlands, they are pretty smooth when your driving on hard pack, but hook up well in all but the worst mud [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Thanks alot
