the gators are a good tire. i was kind of forced to get them for the little Suzuki because GBC Gators were about the only "real" 6 ply tire available in the small front/ big rear sizes the suzuki needs. i ride on the rock more than anything and the Gators are not made for this, but they are tough and get good traction, but wear fast on the rock. they never let me down. i even rode them on the slickrock at Moab with them. i also plow snow with them and they do great at that.

but on rock or occasional pavement runs, they are not bad, just not ideal.
