I have been searching for some new tires and found these. Anybody have any thoughts on the Goodyear Rawhide MT/R for all around riding on a Sportsman 500X2.

 

Haven't heard of anyone running these tires. However to me they look very similiar to my stock tires on my xp, same type of lugs and tread pattern just about.
My opinion, keep shopping around. If they perform like my tires there a good light duty trail riding but they leave a lot to be desired for in the thicker stuff.

 

A buddy of mine used to have a set on his artic kitty and didn't care for them much. Said they were fair for traction but way to soft in cornering.

 

Average at best.

Look at the ITP MudLite or Terracross tires. Both are excellent.

 

thanks for the replys, figured they weren't going to get a great review, just seen some for a great price and thought I better check here first. looks like its going to be the ITP terracross for me or maybe the maxxis bighorns

 

Maxxis Bighorns are great tires. Everyone I've talked to with them love them.

 

how about the duro power grips? this tire appears to have a similar tread pattern to the bh and tc and its a radial?

 

Haven't heard of the duro power grips.. looking them up they appear just like the bighorns do. I might consider these after comparing weight and ply ratings. One thing I did notice was they seemed to be higher priced than the bighorns. Might just need to shop around more.

 

I've always seen the duro's for less then the Bighorns. Also, check out the GBC dirt tamers, they have the similier tread pattern. I think those Rawhides are the tire the Arctic Cat comes with from the factory.

 

duros I have found are a lot cheaper than BH or TC. I believe they are a radial tire.

Just read a review on a razr forum where a guy said his biased tire flexed less than his big horn did when cornering. I would think this would be opposite? He also mentioned this was on his sportsman and the tire was the raceline motorsport tire. this is getting more confusing by the day.
