how do these things do not only in mud but hardpack surfaces? do they wear well on the hardpack?

 

I looked at those, and they do look like nice tires! But my dealer told me they were a waste of money if you did alot of trail riding. He said they are excellent mud tires, but poor for rocky, rough, and hardpack. He steered me into the Interco Swamplites, and now i see they are a true "all terrain tire". I can crawl through a mud hole, then climb a rocky hill, and cross a snow covered field, and then race the dry trail with no complaints. Ill probably buy these tires everytime. On top of that, ive been beating these tires on tar roads, and all the other mentioned terraines, and theres minimal wear, they are almost like new still!

i did think about those but i've heard they're really heavy, and i'm putting them on a 250

 

what do you feel about the swamp witches? the kenda bearclaws? mudlites?or the gators?

 

My next choice would 100% be the Gators. They are the next best after Swamplites, in my opinion. The dealer told me they are great in mud, snow and hardpack. Not the best for Rocky, log covered , rough terrain. But they do work on that terrain. I also didnt feel the swamplites were that much heavier than my radial stock tires. But with a 250, a little weight can mean a big difference i guess. All in All, if not swamplites, get the Gators.

 

thanks a lot been searching for the right tires forever now, i think you finalized my decision, just to be sure the gators won't be too aggresive for me will they?

 

No, they are from a scale of agressiveness, 1-10, about 6. The swamplites are like a 10! The gators are a great tire. And they look nice also!

 

well i have now narrowed it down to the gators and the kenda bearclaws.this is a post i put on another sire to see what they had to say:

ok i have finally narrowed it down to the the two tires i'd like ok it's between the Kenda Bearclaws and The GBC Gators, i know they are different kind of tires but if you had to chose what would you chose, which one wears the best, and i do riding on hardpack trails to get to the mud to ride in make sense? i know the claws wear like iron but i'd like the treads of the gators for mud, and the cleaning out sense so thanks for the help. oh yeah i'll be putting them on the back of my AC 250 2x4 i'll be getting 25x10-12s right now i have 24x9-12s.
