Default Tires, tires, tires help me decide.. bearclaws or dirt devils

Since my cheesy stockers have ripped already. Well one rear has, I need to look for replacements fast. Got a trip in a week. I am looking at the Kenda Bearclaws or the GBC DirtDevils. I will be doing alot of wooded trail riding with mud. Also want to be able to get on it down the trail too though. Right now I am leaning towards the Bearclaws....

I am leaning towards 26" right now but maybe 27" not sure yet.

What you all think?

Also, where did you order yours from for the best price?

I've got 26" Bear claws and I love 'em! They ride very well and they are really light so they didn't steal enough power to really even notice. I have had the machine up to 63mph with them and they rode very stable while on the other end of the spectrum, they grip the mud/snow, and rock excelently. Get the claws! Almost forgot, they have a rim quard lip (or what ever you call those) and they protect the rim quite well.

I don't think the ATR Holeshots are for me. Mudlites are a possiblity.

Why do you like the mudlites so much? Or the bearclaws for that matter.

What size can you fit on the stock rims? 26-10-12 or 26-12-12. The stock rims are 10" correct.

stock rims are 12x6.5 front and 12x7.5 rear. You can fit 26x10x12 f and 26x12x12 rears... Taller if you like but I hear that takes away from the sportyness .
