hey can anyone tell me what tires are good for the king quad i have a 92 the original arent worn out but now that i have it they will be what are some good replacements that provide better traction and mud performance without totally melting the tred on pave ment thanks for the help

 

Pavement is going to eat your tread away no matter what. Only thing I could say would be that you could get a big deep lug mud tire, and it would take it longer to eat down the tread (basically because there is so much more tread). The Claws I have are worn down a little if you looked at them side by side with a new set (rounded on the tread bars instead of sharp), but without something to compare them to, they look massive. I ride on pavement a lot around town too.

 

Quite a few companies make a 25" tire with a deep tread, but I don't know if you would be able to find a 24" front to match it. Might step up to 26" rear and 25" front, but its going to bring the weight up some. Check out some of the websites that sell tires like highlifter or rocky mountian and you can get a good idea of what there is out there.

 

A little known fact is that the GBC Dirt Devils are a size smaller than they say. I bought 27's and they measured to be 26 inches inflated. Go with the 26" tires and do like I did. Put the 10 inch width all the way around. I put about 2000 miles on them and they wore about 1/4 inch or a little more. The tread depth and presence is amazing and they ride extremely well on hardpack and asphalt. With the dirt devils people dont stare at your quad, they stare at the tires. It's actually pretty funny.

thanks for all your help i am looking to stay afforadable and not to change the stance or center of graviety much

 

hey guys im thinkin seriously of buying the gators they look like they will handle it all and i can put em on all the way around for less than two hundred im still looking for advice so heres the kind of riding i do.
when it comes to mud i dont do any serious bogs like competitions just what happens to come along on the trail and what i think i can do that none of the 2x4s i ride with can (within reason) ankle deep is as deep as ive been and i stopped in it but spun trying to get out creeping would these tires help me not to spin and pull out of a hole? i ride on hard pack quite a bit but asphalt i ride on sparingly and sinse the kinq quad is by no means a speed demon i can avoid it without temtation (i think). Would they pull me out of a mud hole if i stoped ?? i know this is hard to answer cuz all mud is different but from stock tires would the difference be noticable?? i hope you guys and gals have some good advice this is alot of money to a 16 year old.

well atv connection hasnt faild me yet . thanks for all the imput
