I have 27" DD's on mine and I can't tell you how happy I am with them. They're tough, ride very smooth on hardpacked trails, and bite quite well in the Mud. I was OVERLY impressed in the mud considering they're not a true mud tire.


I think you'll be happy with them. Just remember, you will gain alot of weight with them, so be prepared to lose some of your power.
When you are mudding, you'll want to drive in LOW range.

Fruitjacket,

How much does the FMF slip-on increase the sound on your Griz. I'de like to keep mine pretty quiet but I'de like to let a few more ponies out as well.

They are a good tire.
Tough,Durable,long lasting,Excellent traction, Good flatproof.
Only bad thing about them is they are VERY heavy.
And weight kills power.

I got some to throw on our old 300 honda for fronts cause they were cheap. They look like a good tire (but I never do ride that quad). 6 ply and inexpensive. They aren't lightweight though. I wouldn't call them super heavy, but they aren't light by any standards. For the money, it looks like a damn good trail tire. A lot better than any stockers as far as tread depth.

at's on my wifes recon. rear tires work great!
Front tires because of not being 4 wd are for looks and not for function.
And if you get into, to deep of mud they will ball up and hurt steering {example going down a long muddy cow path.
That is my opinion only

Heavy????
No, compared to titan 589's they are not heavy at all.They were no more or less than the stock ones I pulled off of her recon. And i even went up an inch in size with new rims.

You want a heavy tire lift a titan 589! It added almost 50 pounds to my rubicon over stock tires. yes they are that much heavier than them dirt hooks that were on it.
