Default new shoes

hey all got some new tires for the popo and can't wait to try them out. did some searching and asking on tires and finally decided on these duro power grip tires. not a big selection on size but didn't want anything bigger than stock. they are 6 ply radial tire that ran about $25 cheaper per tire than BH. since I don't do a lot of riding I figured these will suffice for me. heading to the Hatfield Mccoy trails the end of April.

Question

Redbank,
They look good!! I guess they are a big Horn copy. Only with a flatter profile. Are they also radial?

They look a little wide up front. Did you have to use spacers to clear the tie rod ends? Does look good by the way!

Check cl ppl take off razr rims that fit your sportsman all the time for cheap.

Stayed in gilbert twice. Trying a new place in Logan.

Yes they are radials. That is why I chose them.

I planned on being there Easter weekend.

I like how the edges are more squared off than the Bighorns. Good in the ruts.

right now I have about 5.5-6 pounds of pressure in all the tires and will see how this works. one thing I don't like about the quad and you probably can agree is the roll factor when make turns on hard surfaces. hopefully these tires will help eliminate that feel. already have the stiffer springs up front that helped some.
