Question Tire Suggestions

2007 Sportsman 700 - Need to get some new kicks for it... Any suggestions on tires? I ride mainly packed trails and the occasional coal dirt (live in PA). Not sure if one tire has any performance/handling advantages over another..

Thanks

John

I have the same machine and sounds like similar conditions. I have ridden those same roads many times!!

My tires are still fine, but I want a different set as well. I will wait till next season. My short list as are:

The Maxis Bighorns

I've loved my Bajacross tires, for riding trails and rocks, some mud occasionally. They are tough as nails so far. I went through two ITP Terracross tires before these, they are not as tough.

Were your Terracross the new XD models , I've got over 6000 miles on my XD Crosses never a flat maybe %50 tread left will replace at 10,000 miles .

Bighorns or Pitbull tires (your choice). Nothing else compares in the conditions you are stating.

6,000 miles! That is excellent tread life for an ATV tire.
