Hello all. After 1200 miles its time for new sneakers. Whats best for mostly trail, some mud, some snow, and not tearing up the lawn which took me 10 years to grow?

 

The stock ones aren't that bad in a lot of ways. If you liked them, I would just get another pair.

I run ITP Holeshot ATR's on light aluminum 12X7" rims, and it is a whole different (better!) machine. The bike is something like 4" wider, for some nice added stability, and much more sporty.

 

get some mudlites, bear claws or gators.

 

Mudlites would be great on your wheeler

Hello again...Thanks for the input. What tires do you all use?

 

i replaced my 03 ranchers tires with one size larger dirt devil tires..i was going to order the mudlites until a friend told me about the dirt devils...they were a few bucks cheaper and almost the identical tires...they go any where and are easy to steer in all terrain..on my new foreman i had the larger itp mud and snow tires installed..they are hard to handle on trails and rough ground..the big lugs grab any root or rock sticking out at you and will whip the handle bars right out of your hands. also they dont have a tread design that grips sideways like if you are riding on a crest or something..the dirt devils have the smaller side lugs and all lugs are dempled inside for great stability and traction..i would definately go the the dirt devil or mudlites and stay away from the larger lugged mud and snow tires unless that is where i road mostly..good luck.

 

one more great thing about the mudlite tires or the dirt devils..they are a 6 ply tire..no more flats!

 

Thanks for all the input. I ordered Kenda Bear Claws today. 25 x 12.5 x 10. I will write again after using them for awhile.

 

Bear Claws are great. Rode at Paragon over the weekend. 2x4 Rancher went 99% of all trails we were on. Mud puddles up to the fenders were no problem. Buddies Polaris 700 got stuck in the mud. Took 2 4x4 quads in reverse with their winches going to get him out. A great time was had by all. Thanks again for the info.
