I am running the Rawhide Grips on both my P650 and my wifes P400. I think they work great. The stockers always worried me. I hated that they were so thin and the sidewalls so weak. The Grips perform well, and I am always looking for more for when mine wear out. I ride mainly in the mountains and rocks. I do little to no mudding anymore, but as an all-around tire, I recommend them.

I just got my first flat on the stock Dunlops. Kind of suprised it took over 700 miles before it happened. When I get a little extra money I think I will order a set of Mudlites. They look like they have great traction.

My Bro in Laws honda has some Goodyears that look like tractor tread on them, came from the factory that way. Thoose tires have grip for days, and feel stiffer. I might look for thoose when my Dunflops give out. I have a slow leak in one right now, but too much tread to throw out. I do hate cornering with them though, feels like they are going to come off the rim.

Dash,

Thanks allot,

I have them on my p650 there a great tire! There a 25-11-12 and I had them for 1500 miles now and they still have 50% of the life. I do a lot of trail riding (sand, rocks, mud, water, snow, and ice) and have had no problems with them. I got them because the sidewall on my stock tire got a 2-inch hole and I had to ride the rim all 23 miles back to the truck I was lucky I made it back. I love these tires and I'm going to buy them again.
