Default Radial ATV Tires

I would shy away from the carlisle name product, as they have a very loose fit and tend to spin on the wheels. They also have too soft compound and wear quickly (badlands to name the worst) Radials do stay more uniform at higher speeds, generally ride better, and have a tougher carcass. Tough choice, they both have their pros and cons.

Try upping your air pressure and test riding till you find the sweet spot. My ATRs seem to like higher pressure, 8-10 PSI.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Default Radial ATV Tires

I have a set of Ducks Unlimited Wetlands Radials on the Rubicon, I have 25-8-12 front and 25-11-12 on the rear. Yes 25", yes Wetlands Radials, they do make them that size, they came from Tucker Rocky. I have nothing but praise for these tires, wish I would have went with them on my BF750 instead of 26" Holeshot ATRs, they mud extremely well for 3/4" deep lugs. Sidehill traction is remarkable, along with great general trail ridability, no real reports on wear yet, but after 200 miles, look brand new. I would definately advise these to someone wanting a Mud Lite type tire built on a steel belted radial design.

I've had my MTRs over 60mph a couple of times and have never experienced vibration. They are the best balanced tires I've had.

Does anyone have a link to see a pic of the Wetlands tire? I'm going to be in the market for tires on my 375, and Radials my preference.
