A friend of mine has bought a new Griz. First ride out he put a thorn through the side of the factory Dunlops. He is not interested in Mudding, just hunting. He does want to go up to a 27 inch tire and would like some nice wheels and wants a tire that wont puncture easily without going to super mudders. Any suggestions?

 

I suggest to find a tire that is rated at a 6 ply...not to into the whole tire scene so I cant give any brands...sorry

 

ITP 589 or Goodyear Mudrunner

 

ITP 589s are awesome, I used them on my Grizzly. They are tough and have excellent traction.

 

I run fix-a-flat in all my tires all the time. So, a thorn is no big deal. Some people have reported rim corrosion from doing this, but I inspect the rims carefully when I change tires, and replacing rims even every few years is better than a long walk home in the desert!

 

You would be surprised how much puncture resistance a tire gains when you air it up too around 6lbs.

 

titan 589's super resistant to punctures..and great rim protection..

 

Got SLIME??

I put SLIME in all of my tires, it will immediately plug up to a 1/4" hole when riding. Before I went with that stuff I plugged at least a half-dozen holes. Since I've been running it I have a clean record. I still carry a couple of plugs and CO2 though just in case.

 

but wouldnt this INCREASE the risk...more tie pressure more pressure pushing out cuzing sticks to be able to puch in more without having it give or push in??

 

I have 26 in 589's and they are tough,, 6 ply rating,,,,I run about 4 to 4.5 lbs psi,,I should drop down to about 3-3.5lbs.
