Well I just got some 2 ply Goodyear tracker HP for my ex. They are VERY lightweight and have good bite. Whether anyone believes me or not I went riding in the mountains and found some deep mud. I went thru mud about 3-4 feet deep (over rear fenders) with about a foot of that really sticky gooey mud on the bottoma and didn't get stuck. Before I had these tires i had some wider mud tires Trail hawk's I believe and they always couldn't get a good drive off the bottom of a mudhole and I was stuck. I went thru stuff Rancher's 450 foreman's and 400's were going thru with no problem. I just moved around and kept traction going. These tires also slide well and are a good all around tire. I even did a lot of spinning on sharp rocks and couldn't puncture them. I would recomend them for anyone wanting a good 22inch tire.

The pure sport realtor looks like a good all around tire. Long bars across the tire for mud and you can reverse the tires for sand. hope this helps.

Hi Pyromaniac442

I love my Dirt Devils. An excellent all around tire!! I ride in mud, snow and hard pack (No sand to ride in here in Nova Scotia). They were only $85 Canadian and they are 6 ply!!! You can't go wrong with the Bear Claws either. I think the Bear Claws are a bit better in the snow though. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't go with anything as huge as 26's like he has on his wolverine, a recon doesn't have enough power for those.

I just put super swamper tsl's on my 300ex 2 weeks ago,what a great tire in the mud.They make the quad vibrate on hard surface but the all around traction is unreal!The problem with tires is toooo many choices.

How do you like the Spider Tracs? Mine will be in next week, the shop ordered the wrong size so I have to wait for them until then.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]:frown
