Question Tire Suggestions

2007 Sportsman 700 - Need to get some new kicks for it... Any suggestions on tires? I ride mainly packed trails and the occasional coal dirt (live in PA). Not sure if one tire has any performance/handling advantages over another..

Thanks

John

I have the same machine and sounds like similar conditions. I have ridden those same roads many times!!

My tires are still fine, but I want a different set as well. I will wait till next season. My short list as are:

The Maxis Bighorns

I've loved my Bajacross tires, for riding trails and rocks, some mud occasionally. They are tough as nails so far. I went through two ITP Terracross tires before these, they are not as tough.

Bighorns or Pitbull tires (your choice). Nothing else compares in the conditions you are stating.

6,000 miles! That is excellent tread life for an ATV tire.
