well didnt go far before i fell in love on how these things handled the deep mud. they seem to handle well but didnt get on any really hard pack or straight aways to try them out. they dig very good and seem to not to roll like my stock 3 plys. bottom line so far welll worth the money and wait.

Nice tire and the type 7's look great on the Sportsman. I assume they are 27-9-12 and 27-11-12. Was wondering if they stick out past the fenders and throw mud on you at all??

I love my XTR's in the snow, mud, and the muck. Also they look awesome...but now I put a set of 25 inch badlands on and OMG is it a ton more fun.

i cant understand how the "flatlands" could be funner, they are the weakest tire ever. But anyway, how does your Polaris Pipe sound Jayri?

Stendori, be sure and give us an update after you push them hard on some hard pack and rocky surfaces. Seems to be some debate as to whether that deep lug tread walks around somewhat on these surfaces at speed.

I've got 200 miles on mine and I'll tell you there's no "walking around" at speed those tires put my SP700 where I want it.

well, heres an update on my tires. it finally stopped raining to go for a blast. on hard pack at 50 mph not even walking around at all strays pretty straight. as far as on asphaut i had it going 60 mph and it was stable as could be where my ptx's would roll on corning. bottom line as far as im concerned they are worth the money i paid as it fixed my dislikes i didnt like about my wheeler.

Pipe sounds great...The reason I said that about the badlands tires is that they're 2 inches shorter and a lot less weight=ton more take off.

i know lol, they are really light, and they'll give u a better top speed. Is you're pipe loud? like say, HMF? or something like that? Is it tuneable? i hate to nag you, but i may buy one. Anyway, thanks.
