I have a 99 Wolverine and the factory dunlop tires absolutely SUCK! I have had numerous flats and they don't like mud at all. I would love some input from you guys. I was thinking about Mudsharks but I've been told they are not made in the size I need the stock tires are 23x8-12 & 23x10-12 What can I do should I look for other brands or change sizes? My biggest concern is that I don't want to lose too much power. I greatly appreciate any help that you can offer
I'm a rookie when it comes to this kind of thing!

Rocky Mountain doesn't carry any Interco tires. I got an email from them saying that they don't carry tri/bi claws anymore either even though it is on their website. To see what they have, look at an ad in a dirtwheels magazine.

I found a place on the internet that seems to be pretty cheap.It's about $30 less than what I paid for the same tire from my dealer,that includes S/H. Its cawoodtire.com . The Titan 589,27-9.0-12", for example was $74.98+S/H wich is $5.00. The same tire in Rocky Mountain is$82.99. A couple bucks is a couple bucks.Just thought I would add my two cents.
Good Riding

of thorn.The tire seal(green liquid)you fill the
tire works.You can buy this staff from Cabelas.The
ITP Blackwater tire looks can do the job.Rolando

I'm with VMAXER. Love my Claws. I rode with a guy on a stock Wolverine that he had just put Vamps on. He said that they really killed his power. The Bear Claws are not nearly as aggressive, clean themsevles well, and work well on hard pack. They're not to pricey either.
