I've blown through two sidewalls with the Carlisle Badland tires in the last month. Can anyone recommend a tire with a tougher/thicker sidewall. I do a lot of railbed riding and its real hard on the sidewalls.

 

Maxxis Bighorns.

 

GBC makes at least 4 different 8-ply tires, both all-terrain and mud tires. http://www.gbcmotorsports.com/...ts/dirt_commander.aspx
Also: "For 2008, the TerraCross R/T tire line uses all-new XD (Extreme Duty) construction -- an extra sidewall ply and increased sidewall and tread rubber thickness for improved puncture protection."

 

ya ithink alot of these heavier ply tires are more in the tread then the side all wear i think should be as strong or stronger since thats the most beating the tire takes. one of my xtrs got 2 rips from sharp rocks(driver error) and fixed them for a while but ended up replacing it to be sure and now another one has a slow leak from a stupid nail i ran over. my orginal pxt tire i had i ran over a r r spike putting a 3/4" slash in the tread. fixed it but still leaks. im giving up on tires lol.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

Give the Terracrosses a shot. We run them on our Rhino. Amazing tire.
