Default Mud Gear Tires?

Just found some tires at my local nebraska tire dealer that look pretty nice. They are mud gear i'm gonna stick with stock size which on these tires offer 3/4" tread deapth. They say that they run pretty smooth down hard pack roads and offer very good tread wear. They are 6 ply tires. Just wondering if anyone had any kind of knowledge with these tires? Thanks

I love them, better than stock by any means. The only gripe I have is they seem to vibrate some at 40mph when new. I have had them for about 6 months now and the vibrations are not as bad

what do you mean by vibration, is it bad like the tires are poorly balanced or is it just more of a noise than a feel in the handlebars or shake. I think they would look great on my 420 but i'm kinda concerned with how cheaply they are priced, just wonder if they are built cheap to or are just cheaper cuz your not paying for a fancy name. Let me know how they work for you and what you ride in. Thanks alot

Well...When I first put them on (within a week) I was traveling around 40-45 on the road. I was feeling a vibration in the steering. I don't feel it when I am on dirt just the road. A month ago (5 months later) I was on the road again and I didn't have near the amount of vibration. I can't say what caused it but it is not near as bad. If I was purchasing again I would buy them. They fit my stock rim perfectly. I couldn't find anything else to fit. The price was right.
