Time for tires. Anyone have any suggestions on type, and best place to find a good price?

 

titain 589's. they have rim gaurd, unless you want 28" get the titains. also i've seen the new bearclaws. they have a lot deeper lugs, but you have to get them in 27" (about the same depth as mud bugs) they are also a good all around tire.

 

I am in Minnesota, so much of my riding is snow or mud, or both. So, a good combo tire is what I am looking for. Stockers are lame; time to change.

 

well the titains are better in the mud, haven't had them for winter yet though. dad has the old bear claws, and they are 3 years old and still have good tread. my brother paid $89 a tire, 26X11-12 and 26X9-12 (same for all 4) this is in cdn money. that's about $50 a tire in u.s funds, but the place is in N.B. canada, but if you were on a trip, close by it is worth the stop!!! trust me!!!

 

What kind of bike are you driving??
I will agree with rincon, The 589's are a good all terrain tire, but i have never used them so that is just what i've heard. I have bearclaws and they are a very good and popular tire around here in new brunswick. The 27 inch rear tires have a 1 1/8" deep lug and the front are just 1". Also mud bugs, or gators are well rated all terrain tires.

 

I have an 02 Rubicon. I have heard good things about the 589s. What have you heard about Vampires?

 

the 27" and below ones would be good......but they are geared more towards pure mud riding. the 27" bearclaws are an excellent all around tire, i just think the titains are better in the mud, but i could be wrong, i've never seen the new deep lug 27" bear claws perfrom in the mud yet. i think the titains clean out better in the mud though.

i know what you mean about the bear claws, they are on every bike!! what part of N.B are you from?? i'm from riverview.

 

I am from just outside of fredericton.

 

about 2 hours away from me then. lots of snow up there in the winter i bet. arctic cat sled work good?
