After putting over 2000 miles on my machine it's almost time for new rubber. I ride in mainly rocky/dirt trails. I'm either crawling up rock faces or logs, crossing fast moving streams and some mud,(not as much as I would like as mud hole are scarce here)

I just want feedback on these two tires for now, thanxs

 

I have the Bearclaws and I will probably never get them again. They are a good tire but i ride on trails where theres stumps and large rocks. They never grip big rocks and they roost like hell up hills. My friends either make me go last stay 40 feet back. They are good for the mud or loose pack and sand.

 

The type of riding I do is very simular to yours. I put rawhide grips on my 02 650 prairie. Huge difference compared to stock tires. I think they are an excellent tire.
