i have a scrambler 400 w/rcr stage 1 kit. i have narrowed my two choices down to super swamper tsl's or bear claws. i have gotten plenty of good comments on the bear claws but nothing on the super swampers. has anyone used them? i ride nard pack, some mud, and alot of loose coal, especially hill climbing. also how is the ride, i don't want something that is going to ride like you are riding in a backhoe! how do they wear?

I have the super swamper tsl's on my '99 Yamaha Beartracker and they work great in the mud because thats where they are made to work the best.I've never used bearclaws but they might ride a little better, the tsl's are definetly good in mud and any where else they just tend to wonder around the trail a little.the tsl's are basically the vampires with a reduced lateral tread design.

 

I have the Dirt Devils 25" on a Rancher. Pretty good in mud but down right impressive in rocks, loose rocks and dirt. They are a 6 ply, good puncture resistance for jagged riding conditions. I went with them because I ride mud less than 50% of the time.......I think the other tires would all work fine , it gets down to personal choice and riding conditions. The Dirt Devils required 12" rims which I had, but the tire cost was very resonable.

 

i have tsls on my cyclone they work yeally good. sure they dont self clean as good as vamps but as long as you keep the tires movin to shoot some of the goo out they work great.

 

I used to have them on my foreman, they are "DEFINITELY" a purpose built tire!!! and that purpose being "MUD" but i used them for everything else too! the ride from them isn't fantastic, but i got used to it!!! later......

 

My brother-in-law has 24" TSL's on a Scrambler 500 4x4 and they are allsom!! Two are brand new and 2 came of a Scramdler 400 4x4. The 400 had 4 of them and it pulled them good.. They are a GOOD choos for MUD and loose pack. They do good in the rocky hills to..
