This has probably been asked many times before, but I just got a 03 Ozark and I want to know what is the best rear tire. I'll leave the fronts stock. I ride desert to mountains, jeep trails things like that. The size is 22x10x9.

we put stock size back on but we got the gbc dirt devils. they work really well.

 

Thanks for the quick response. I live in NM so I'm worried about rock puncture. The space between the knobbs are wide on the dirt devils.
Rocky terrain 55%
Hardpack 25%
Mud 15%
Serious Mud 5%

What about something like this?

I want the tallest knobbs but a good rock tire

 

I put 22X10X9 Gators on my 250EX. I ride lots of rocky trails with no problems. They are a very rough tire and offer excellent traction. Any 6 ply tire should be tough enough to resist rock punctures with no problems though. The Gators in that size were almost as light as the stockers. They do great in any conditions I have had them in, especially mud.

 

im looking for some mud tires too, about how much do the gators weigh a tire, thanks

 

The stock size 22X10X9 weighed atound 18 or 19 pounds. That was a little more than the stock tires but not as much as almost any other mud tire. I originally was going to go with the wider width 22X12X9 size but they weighed 2-3 pounds more. I am very satisfied with the Gators, they really transformed my 250EX. If I am not badly high centered I can generally get through some pretty good mud. I got mine thru treadepot.com but now Dennis Kirk has them so it may be cheaper to go with them for the free shipping.

 

We put maxxis surtrac's on my wifes ozark,they work very well in sand or mud,great tire!

 

im just looking for a tire for the snow and the mud, i would only run the gators in the winter and spring. could you possibly stud the gators?

 

I got a look at the Dirt Devils 22x11x9 and they don't look like they have any bigger tread than the stock Dunlops. What tire of this size has the deepest tread?
