I had the XT for a short period of time and like the aggressive tires, but am thinking about getting a standard and upgrading the silly std tires. What brands and tread patterns are popular right now? I'm the type of guy to put BFG A/T's on a new truck because they're gonna get used. I'm lookin for something like that for the outty. lots of trails. lots of mud. hard pack. snow. did i mention mud? and everything in between. I know it's broad, but i live in Michigan. you can go through 3 seasons in a single day here.(not joking). Or are the oem tires as good as the aftermarket?
Thanks for replies.

 

Check my pics, they are the number one rated all terrain tire, and i love them! I will buy these again when i need new tires, but that should be a while because these tires arent wearing down much at all. They work excellent in all conditions. (mud/snow/rough terrain/ hardpack)

 

they dont look much different than the upgraded carlisle on the outy xt....are they?

how do they handle on hard pack/roads and at high speeds

 

Look at traxmotorsports.com for a closer look at the tread design. The depth is also 1.25 inches on the 26" tires. They are very aggressive, and they are very smooth on hardpack, and at high speeds, with superb traction.

 

yeah they look good...how is the weight on them..

is the side wall 6ply also or just the outside

 

yea i like em too. i'd go for the 26", but would you go 14"wide all the way around, or does it handle /steer better with narrow meats up front?

 

personally i think i will stay with the stock size if possible...everything is geared off that..i dont really know if it matters or not but if it aint broke dont fix it!
