Just ordered a set of 26 inchers. My riding is mostly trails, with a little mud now and then (nothing that would call for a pure mud tire), and ocassional rocks. From what I gather these tires make a great all around tire. Not too agressive, but still strong enough for most sistuations.

Anyone have first hand experience? They will be going on my P650.

i run 25 inch Dirt Devils on my old trusty honda. i ride on trails and a little mud when i'm daring enough, and they are pretty good tires. i noticed that my engine bogs down easier now with them, but i think that is b/c my honda is an old 250. but overall, i love em. i dont get hung up as often now, lol. i'm pretty sure you'll like them.

I put a set on my Scrambler last spring and I really like them. It could only get better though. I went from the 2 ply Titan 489's (they suck). The Dirt Devils really are a great all around tire. I ride mostly woods and rocks with some mud thrown in for fun here and there.

Lurch, if mud isn't a priority to you then DDs are the tire you need. These bad boys are tough to beat on trails and loose dirt, they also run really well on the slick rocks in a creekbed. One thing you will notice though is that you will loose a little ground clearance to them, my 26"s are just over 24" at 4 psi, but they can be aired up for more height.

That is why I went with the 27" they are almost the same size with 4 lbs of air in.

My buddy has 26's on his P650. He really likes them. Not quite as good in the mud as my Gators. He did say he gets a sway in the rear end at high speeds on gravel. From what I have seen of them, they are a good tough tire. They make the machine look alot better than with the stockers.
