Has anyone seen any information on the new Goodyear Rawhide Grip tires that polaris is using on the 700 and on the DUSE?
Can not find anything on GOODYEAR'S web page.

 

I have the DUSE but I dont know anything about the rawhide grip tires?The Goodyears that come stock are pretty cheesey tires IMO

 

The new 2002 500 sportsman DUSE have the new goodyears 12" rims front and back, the dealer close to me here has a couple on the lot really nice looking tires, they meke the old goodyears look like slicks ........... Rick D

Haven't been in a dealership in a while huh? (Teasing, tongue in cheek LOL)

Cheesey? What? They only last for 6000 miles or more and still work well. Where does the cheesey come from? You want cheesey look at the rubber on the Rubicon, Kawasaki 650 or the new Grizzly.

The Goodyear Grip tires (standard on the 2002 700 twin, RMK, and 500 HO) also appear to be a very long wearing tire.

Somebody will have to do a side by side test with the Mudrunners and tell us how they compare. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

No, I havent been to the dealer since June.....until yesterday.

Cheesey?????Yeah Cheesey.I sure dont have 6000miles on mine,I'm at around 1000,but they seem to be wearing down pretty fast.If they last 3000 I would be impressed

 

Goodyear Rawhide tires
Here you are.

 

Not the same rawhides that polaris is using, i think the new Grips are a polaris exclusive.

We have a HO in the garage with 2,987 miles on it and there is still 3/4&quot; rubber on both rear tires. The Goodyear Tracker 25x11x10 is a very long wearing tire. Are you looking at the front tires or the rear tires? (The front Goodyear Tracker P does not impress me either....)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

If the Goodyear Tracker tires on your DUSE are cheesey, the Dunlops on your Magnum should be really moldy! LOL

 

it depends on how you ride and in what conditions. in one condition, a tire may last 6,000 miles. in another type of condition, the tire may las 1,200 miles. it just depends on where and how you ride.

 

Yes ,I'm looking at the front.I really dont think their gonna make it 3000.
As for my Magnum........Well,Lets just say,you will NEVER hear me say a bad thing about it.That thing just keeps going.It's been flipped,rolled ,sunk,run over by a dodge Ramcharger,sunk in quicksand,etc,etc.Once it rolled ,end over end ,somewhere around 7-8 times ,and all I had to do get on and drive it away.
I still dont know what it takes for people to call it RELIABLE?
Maybe if I shot it and it still runs then I to can have the bulletproof quads the other forum has??HEEheehee
