You have several choices. I am looking for tires for the Recon myself. We just got some Dirt Devils (which have a 6 ply rating)for the Beartracker and they seem to be a very good tire, the Bear climbs and pulls much better now. I have eliminated the Sur Tracks due to the 2 ply rating. An alternative to them would be the ITP Spider Trax. They have a 4 ply rating but some say they are an outdated design for a strictly mud tire. If you want to spend some big bucks you could go with the ITP Blackwaters. They come in a 22x12.5x9 that will fit the Recon. But they cost on average of $20 apiece more then the others. Personally I like the looks of the Mud Sharks and right now they are at the top of my list, the only thing keeping me from buying them right now is they are an inch shorter then the stock tires. They would cause a slight loss in top end speed and 1/2 inch of ground clearence. I havn't decided if that is enough to keep me from buying them.
Good luck and let me know what you get.

Maxtrax,
The handling changed a little after we added the Sur Traks. Before you could really slide the rear end around, you can still do it but its not quiet as easy. Must be the increased traction of the sur traks. Didn't really notice a stiffer ride from the tire. The new tires allow my wife to go more places than before. One feature of the tire, maybe its a feature to all mud tires, but you can reverse the direction of the tire for use in snow. We are going to ride in the mountains this upcoming weekend & try them in snow.

OK today was the test i bolted on my mudsharks tight but not to tight. they seem to work beautifully, they dont make that annoying humming sound my old stockers did when riding on the road. They hooked up great when i wanted them to and slid around just as easily. They are 21 instead of 22 inch though that doesnt seem to make a difference. after inflating the tires they werent that much shorter than the stocks. I love having them in the awesome snow i can get threw all the snowbanks with no challenge now.
