I have a 4x2 honda rancher 350 and need a good allround tire that does well in mud, snow, and trail riding. My stock tires are 25x11x10 Rear
so I need to get to fit a 10 inch rim. I only want to replace the rear tires. I was looking at the following tires
1. Kenda Bear Claws
2. GBC Dirt Devils
3. ITP 589's
4. ITP 489's
5. ITP Mudlites

I do not want something that will tear up our yard as I have to ride in the yard to get to the woods out back.

All comments welcome and thanks for the advice.....

 

Well, the Kenda bearClaws and ITP 489's are great all terrain tires for all conditions, as for the others, there more Mud than anything. But all the tires you listed have fairly deep lugs, so they like to eat grass, but if you go slow while croossing the yard and make you turns Wide and Slower, than you can keep your grass (hehe)but the 589's have Huge lugs and arentmade for smaller engines (youll lose torgue and handling)but the 489's get nothing but good feedback and reviews all the time.

i like my Dirt Devils. i think they do pretty good in mud, snow, and trails.

 

Can't go wrong with the bearclaws. They are 6 ply, cheaper than most of the others you have listed, and will last quite a while. An excellent all around tire.

 

Hmm, yes those Bear Claws are pretty awesome, And they Make ANY ATV look Mean too. Id like to see them on a sport Quad, that would look awesome(hehe). and yes they are cheaply priced for such a good tire. Check (Rocky mountain ATV) they usually have some good deals on tires. and i hear there service is great too.

 

I would recommend the 589 MS for traction, you won't even notice you don't have 4WD.......... But they *will* leave tracks in your yard. No matter how slow you go, when the ground is wet they will leave ag style tracks.

 

hey guys i have a 350 rancher 4x4 and im thinking of getting the bearclaws for the front (25X8-12) and the supper swamper vampires for the rear (25X9.5-11). how does that sound. anything i should change before i put in the order. i ride on trails mostly.

 

never mind i found out that those tires dont work for the size i need.

 

The Dirt Devils get my vote for all-around use. They do great in mud, snow, hardpack, you name it. Mine have worn very well on my 300 4x4.
