No problems to report here, they are good tires as far as OEM tires go. I will be getting 25" titan 589s' shortly, mostly due to the fact that no OEM tire is very good in the mud.

No flats & all I do is trail ride, well some mud also!


I only have 140 miles on my tires, this fall will most likely get a new set of tires, not sure what kind yet.

to get to one of the places i ride we have to amke a run along the railroad tracks. this place is littered with broken bottles, old RR spikes and bunch of other sharp pointy stuff. no flats on the rancher. a grizz had a couple flats b-4 he replaces his with bi-claws.
the dirt hooks ae pretty good for facorty tires, but i'm gettin blackwaters as soon as i free up some money

what do you need to know??? Do you own a rancher now and are not happy with the tires performance?

I'm satisfied with the tires thus far, unless you are going to do some serious mud running I think the factory tires work fairly well. Easy to drive and you don't have to worry about straining your cv joints.

I have 103 miles on my Rancher ES with the Dirt Hook tires. I'm running 6 psi all around. No problems with steering, no flats, no bead breaking, never been stuck, and I'm happy.
Followed a 2wd Honda thru the swamp last Saturday, where he got stuck in a mudhole. I motored right thru where he got stuck.
The new AP diff. works great too!!
