Does anyone know about the new Interco Swamplites? I am sorry for all the tire posts, but i really want the right tire. And they arent cheap, when you get the whole tire and wheel kit!

I have them on a 400 Outlander and I have no complaints. The steering is light and they track very well.
The tread is very aggressive and tend to really throw rocks and mud. I mainly ride in the woods in red clay
and so far they have gripped well. They are a bias 6 ply tire. The tread is a little deeper when you go up in size
25" has 3/4" depth and the 26" , 27" have a tread depth of 1 1/8". They do seem cause the steering to wobble or
shimmy slightly on the fire roads because they are kind of a knobby tire. My only wish is that they had a larger
side **** to protect the rims, I have smacked a few tree roots on the trail and wedged wood between the tire
and rim.

I also have a few pics

Good luck it's a hard decision

Thanx for the reply. Does the tread seem to last? Like on gravel, or short runs on tar? And do they pull you through snow and mud ok?

They pull real well in the mud and clean themselves out. I've only put about a hundred miles
on them and thankfully no sighns of wear. Haven't been in the snow yet.
