Default Swamp lites or kenda bear claws???

MaineWheeler i have heard that at higher speeds swamp lites tend to pull or get scurley to the point where you have to slow down. have you had this problem?

I have the Swamp Lites on the back of my Ozark and I took them for a spin around the neighborhood. In 5th gear, they did start to shake back and forth some what but I can imagine it being worse with a more powerful machine. I wonder if balancing them would cure the weeble wobble??

The 2 or 3 times Ive done a high speed(57.7mph w/gps) run down the tar I never noticed it, and going down a hard packed trail at 20-40mph range they actually surprised the heck out of me because I wasn't expecting such a smooth good tracking ride from such an aggressive pattern. If your looking for a good tough ALL terrain tire I don't see you regretting them at all.

I bet the reason I have tire wobble is because I own a small Ozark 250. I'm planning on buying a Suzuki King Quad 450.

so i got to test my new swamplites out today.. All i can say is wow what a great tire.. I rode on hard packed dirt, loose gravel, and mud. They performed better then i had imagined they would.. I can make it to some place in the mud where i couldnt before with the stock tires. the bad thing that i can say about them is that at about 30mph and over. i start to feel a little tire wobble.. but nothing i cant get used too. Over all a great tire will buy again..
