How do all the '05 Sportsman owners like their PXT radials? Where do they shine?

 

Didn't leave mine on long, but they worked great and spun true. I put larger (27") tires on. I've been emailing back and forth with ITP on the performance or lack of...poor rotation, wobble at 35+ mph and found out that ITP makes the Carlisle PXT's....

 

Well Carlisle makes ITP and some other tire brands. But I like mine a lot, they are ten times better than the BadLand XTR's. They ride good, hook up really good, and look good. They are the best trail tire I've had, and are by far the best stock tire. Unless you are a REALLY heavy mudder you shouldn't need new tires for about 2500 miles with the PXT's. This is IMO take it for what it's worth...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i love them, great all around tire. i have to say though that there not that good in snow though

 

They seemed to do pretty good with that snow/ice we got a week and a half ago....

 

I like these tires as well. They look like an updated version of the original tires that came on the 500 HO. I liked those tires too........

 

I like the PXT's. I havent had a problem with them. This is the first set of stock tires that I havent switched out after the first trail ride.

 

Thought at first that these tires were the prfect thing... much lighter and a much better ride. But after this weekend I'm not so sure. I got a flat tire on the first long trail ride with my new 700efi. It is the first flat tire I've had in the over 2 years and nearly 2000 miles of riding
rough rocky trails. It looks like in order for these to be light they also have a very thin and puncture prone construction. Has anyone had
problems with flats on the new pxt's???

 

I agree, I had a side wall puncture; the first I ever had. I like the tires, but I think they are a little too thin. Next time I am getting the rawhides........

 

All radials are more suseptable to sidewall pinch, even the 6 ply.

I put 120 hard miles on mine this weekend without a problem. Great all around tire!
