i have a honda foreman 500 and i want to get some aggressive tires and ive narrowed it down to 3 tires. i ride a lot of different terrain: hard pack, loose dirt, rocky trails, big mud holes and even through the river. out of gbc gators, dirt devils, or mudzillas what would you choose? how well do they handle at higher speeds like 45mph?

 

Actually, i was going to get gators, but i was steered into these swamplites, and will buy them again! They are perfect for what you want. I was looking for the same type of tire, and these are perfect! Check out my pics to look at them. You can get a good look also at WWW.TRAXMOTORSPORTS.COM. Thats where i got mine. The tires you mentioned are good, but not the best for "all terrain " use like swamplites are. They are agressive, and work well in snow, mud, rocks, and hardpack.

 

Out of those three I would choose the gators. DD will not do so good in the mud and zillaswon't do much for you on the hard packed and the rocks.

 

DD's do ok in the mud but they really shine on the trail's. They also were like iron and last forever. Great tire!

 

ive narrowed my choices down to the gators or swamplites

 

The Gators are a great mud and snow tire, but so are the swamplites. The edge the swamplites have is a more aggressive tread, with a better bite on hardpack terrain. They are both excellent tires though!!

 

ok. my stock tires are 25 x 8 x 12 and 25 x 10 x 12. what is the biggest tire i could fit on the stock rims? i think im gonna go with the swamplites

 

You could get 27" for sure, but i wouldnt go any bigger than 26 for power issues. My stock was 26, and i stayed at 26 with swamplites, and they still rose my machine off the ground another inch! Otherwise, you also have to make sure your tires will clear your fenders and things. You wont be dissapointed by the tires though, they are even better looking when you unwrap the plastic and see them in person!!

 

just got gators and these things are the shiznick[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] thought i had a submarine for a while. and on hills , the difference is 10x better than stock.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] get the gators.

 

i have dropped the idea of gettimg swamplites after reading more about them, but in return im thinking of MST's which i had not heard of until today. how does the mst compare to the gator?
