I'm looking for some really tough, greater than 2 ply tires with deep lugs that will fit on my new 2005 recon.
The location where I hunt and use my ATV most is covered with brush that includes large wooden thorns and a few rocks. I am currently using slime in the stock Goodyear trackers and they are working out OK (until the tires wear down a bit). The stock tire sizes are: Rear 22X10-9 and Front 22X7-11. Any suggestions on what tires to buy (brand and size) would be greatly appreciated.

My Maxxis Bighorns are tough as nails, with big lugs, though not the choice for mudders.

I sized them the same as the stock tires that came with the bike.

 

I'd suggest duro excavators. Very tough and a good lug but i'm not sure on the sizes. Check out motovan.com. For what you do it sounds like the perfect rubber.

i have maxxis razrs on my 03 recon and they work great

 

6 ply

 

I second the Maxis Razors. We have them on our 250EX and have not had a flat since installing them. Deep lugs and 6-ply. They wear realy long. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

i got my maxxis razrs for very cheap from rocky mountain atv. They were only $60. The link is

I've put Maxxis Razr2s on the rear last year. Love em. They hook up and wear great. Didn't seem to bog the bike down or change the riding characteristics. I need to change out those Dunlops in front for the Razr2s. The rim would need to be changed to the 22 10x5 from an older 250ex. Anyone done this sucessfully? Is the offset OK?

Cheers,
