I got all these weights off the net from different sites so I don't know how accurate they are. If you are looking for mud tires, weight is an issue so these numbers might help a bit. Ride safe.

 

Those bearclaw weights are way off. I don't know why the listings for them are so bad. I emailed the manufacturer and the 26x9-12 is only 19lbs. Someone else that has them weighed them and said they were lots lighter than the internet listings.

Most of those other weights look like what I have seen online.

 

I want to add this about the 27" tires I have. Im also 100% sure these weights are accurate "per my scales".

Mudbugs
27x10x12 22lbs
27x12x12 28lbs

ITP 589 M/S
27x9x12 26lbs
27x11x12 30lbs

 

I got most of these weights off of Tee's Off Road (I think????) I checked a few other sites and found another weight for the Claws from Tires Unlimited. They say they weigh 24lbs and 34 lbs respectively. I don't know where they get their numbers from so I can't say how accurate they are. Nyroc, were those weights for 4 or 6 ply?

K.O.D., thanks for those figures. After I put on my 589s, I noticed a power loss and wished I had educated myself more on the amount tire weight would play. I love my 589s, but I think I'm going for a lighter tire next time.

 

Thats exactly why the 589s are not on the P650 anymore. The Kodiak is not a speed demon anyway and those tires better suit it and the riding I do on the Kodiak. The 27" 589s take all the sport out of the P650.

 

I tryed a set of 28in 589,s. I could not get them off soon enough. They made my sporty quad into lumbering pig. But I think in th 26in size they are OK.The Mudlites are great and lighter than them all but I still run ATR,s in the summer.

 

Even the 26s took the power. I guess the only thing to do is mod the crap out of it till I get all the power back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mstrblastr I think my heated grips are robbin power. Maybe the new CDI will off set the power loss. And more important do you think the wife will buy this.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Chaos, that is bloody brilliant!!!!!!!! She'll buy it hook, line, and sinker!!!!!!! You mind if I use that one?? You might want to try a couple of these tricks too, so you can save extra money for the CDI and other goodies.

1. I gotta buy some summer air for my tires.
2. Had to buy a gallon of halogen fluid for my headlights.
3. I blew my blower belt.
4. My heated grips are robbing too much power (Man, this is my new favorite!!!!!!!!!!!)
5. I have to buy gold laced brake fluid.
6. The platinum clutch springs are gonna cost me bigtime, sweetheart.


These are tried and true. Use at your own risk.

 

Hold on let me get a pen.
