I have an 02 Recon and just recently put new tires on the rear. After searching a number of forums, there was a tie between those saying go back to the Goodyear HP Trackers and those saying the ITP Mudlites. I went with the Mudlites (same size: 22x12x10) as they were nearly half the price of the Trackers. When I saw them on the bike I said wow--these look like they could go thru anything. Boy was I wrong. My 9year old wore out Trackers performed better than the new Mudlites. When you get into a real muddy mess and you have to pour on the juice, the Mudlites dig straight down. I was quite disappointed in them. I would recommend the Trackers.

 

I'm selling two front AT25X8R12 (25x8x12) and two rear AT25X10R12 (25X10X12) Maxxis 4-Speed RAZR Radial tires (total of 4) Tires are in almost brand new condition, have less than 10 miles on them. If that's the size you are looking for, I can make you a heck of a deal

 

Stan,
I stumbled across something I think you'll love. While on the DGY website, I searched for the Goodyear Tracker OEM tires for my 99 recon. They have them, but they are expensive. So, I did a search for tires on DGY for a 2008 recon. They are half the price as the ones for my 99. Then I did some more recon research and found that Honda quit using the Goodyear Trackers in 08 and went with Maxxis AT's. The numbers on the tires are front:M9803 and rear"M9804. They are only available from a Honda OEM dealer. DGY is one. So, I looked at the tread on both the Maxxis and the Goodyear and they are almost identical. Why the price difference? I don't know and don't care. I ordered all 4 from DGY for my recon and with shipping it was $180 ! I still can't believe it. Maybe it's a mistake on their price but I don't think so. I haven't received them yet but am anxious.

Rocky Mountain ATV is hard to beat. They often offer free shipping on tires. The ITP 489 or MudLite are great replacements for the stock goodyears.

 

Well, I buy almost all my stuff from RM but in this case, I didn't. Neither the 489's nor the mudlites came in the OEM sizes at RM. And even if they had, they were twice the price as DGY's OEM tires. I only paid $36 for each front and $43 for each rear. That's incredible as far as I'm concerned. And you know what? I called my local Honda dealer and they wanted $95 for each front and $108 for each rear. PLUS $23 EACH TO MOUNT ! That's robbery ! They are buying them for even less than I paid, and charging that kind of money to me? I mean, I'm all for a place making a profit but come on.

Thanks for the information, I’ll look into it, that’s a heck of a price.

Stan,
The OEM tires came and they are perfect. And a great price. They are the Maxxis AT's. I picked up a second set of rims with bald, worn out tires on them. I plan to use these bald tires around the yard and switch to the new ones when I want to go trail riding. The bald tires will be easy on the yard. I mean these babies are bald, bald, bald.

I’ve looked all over the DGY site and I can’t mind any reference to Maxxis 9803 or 9804 tires. Where were you exactly? You can send me a PM if you want.
