I'm looking in to buying new rear tire for my warrior, I like all kind of riding, Mud,Sand pits and trail riding and I want a tire that I can use during the winter also from time to time.
I'm looking for the best all around tire .....
So far I have been looking at the spider track,sur track and bandit.
So far I heard a lot of goods on the Bandit but what about the other two anybody know if they would be a bether buy for the riding I want to do. Any other suggestions maybe ?????
And is a tire above 20 pds to heavy for the warrior.

Thanks.
Flapjack.

The Bandit won't be very good in the mud or snow. For what you want, the Spiders are a pretty good tire.

Ive never had bandits, but Ive heard lots of compaints about them from other guys out on the trails that they are lousy in the mud. My buddy used to have a warrior and had great luck with Realtors, I think the spider tracks would be great too.

I would suggest the Spider Tracs or Realtors 22". Both should be great for trail riding and they also resist punctures good.

I've had realters on a worrior before. they offer good floatation in the mud and sand. their very loud going full speed down a gravel road though.

The spider tracs are a great tire. I've had a set on my Lt500 quad for years. They're also great for side bite down in ruts. The only question I would have is reverse. It isn't an issue with mine, because I don't have it. My father has a 2wd Big Bear and we put on GBC Dirt Devils (because he's rather conservative on prices). It is a six ply and seems to hook up well forwards and reverse. I wouldn't steer you away from the Spider Tracs, but reverse is an issue with you.

I have never seen the other tires in action, but I have the Sur-Traks on my Warrior. I ride in about everything, except I haven't tried sand. Where I ride is occassionally dry, but is usually extremely muddy, and there is ALLOT of clay so it is slick as @#$&. The Sur-Traks are AWESOME. I love these tires! They work great in everything, and really aren't extremely heavy. My quad will go through twice as much w/ these as it did w/ the stock tires and hook up great. Not to mention these have allot better lateral bite than the Realtors and Spider Tracks will cause all there tread doesn't run side to side like the others do. I've heard stories of guys w/ Realtors that even on wet grass the quad wants to go side ways cause there is nothing to keep it from sliding. Now can you iamgine what that would be like on the side of a muddy hill?

Just my thoughts.
