and Swamp Lites? Are they the same?

Polaris STOCK Carlisle AT 489 were rated the best stock tire out the on quads for 2006 as per "dirt trax" T.V.
I think I would even buy them again as a replacement......Until I need to shop around though!!!!! Time will tell...
Hopefully not for a few years yet!!!!!..............Caper...........

Well I don't know Caper, I am really
not impressed with our stock tires.
I got a side wall tear pretty easy
having to replace it. I do want to
upgrade my stock, still researching
what everyone has experienced,
learning from others.

I think it was a sharp sheared rock
at GreenRidge, MD state park. That
is where it happened, not much mud
nor debris mainly all dirt pack, gravel
and rock.

For all round traction and unmatched toughness, the Maxxis Bighorns are probably the best 6 plies available. They will go 8,000 miles or so, too. Only thing, they're only so-so in mud (as I've been told). Out here in the west, mud is usually not much of a factor.

That said, I've had no trouble with my stock Rawhide Grips.
