Looking for a new set of radial tires for a 2011 Suzuki King Quad. $$$$ is a big issue so I am looking for something decent that will not drain my bank account. Has anyone ran Duro Power Grips? They have pretty good prices on them at Rocky Mountain and look very similar to the Maxxis Big Horns. Plus if I buy rims they will mount the tires and everything free of charge. I figure I could then sell the stock tires and rims with 600 miles on them to try and make some cash back.... Should I spend more to get something better? Are the ITP Steel wheels any good or would I be better off with stock? I Was thinking 26x11 - 12 for rear and 26x9 - 12 for front... I did read somewhere they run a little small so I went up a size.

 

I have Bighorns on my King, and have had them before on other quads... love them for where we ride. I'm guessing that any of the Bighorn "knock offs" give similar traction, ride and durability... but again, that's only a guess.

With that said, my buddy has the new BearClaw HTR tires on his Grizzly. We had a chance to switch tires back and forth a couple of times. The HTR's are SWEET! They are 8 ply radials compared to the 6 ply Horns. They weigh about the same, and they are less expensive than the Horns. They do everything my Horns do, and do a couple of things better.

My next quad will have the HTR's! I've attached a link to a small picture..

 

I like these and they seem to have a good price for a 8 ply tire.... Will have to look into these as a possible replacement.

Thanks!


Rocky mountain only looks to stock one size... Where would be a good place to look for these tires?

 

I get most of my stuff from Matt at atvoutfiltters.net. I'm sure he has them, or can get them, and his prices and service are excellent.

With that said, I'm sure one of the sponsors here would have them too.

 

BTW, here's a vid on them you might enjoy. :-)
