Fufighter...You are right! What this thread started out to do was bring a little clarity to this issue. No brand wars was intended.

Pastor - I would like an answer to the same question. I am interested in replacing them with a tire that is the same size.

I like as far as OEM tires go Bridgestone dirt hooks. I get over 3 times the life out the DH14 dirthooks vs the OEM dunloops the Twin Peaks come with. The DH seires gives you about the same ride quality and weight of the dunlop but last much , much longer. Heavy duty aftermarket tires are generaly heavy but also last much longer then most oems. I like the Bighorns as a good allaround nice riding aftermarket radial. The Bighorns have allot of traction but are noticably heavy compared to stock. There are allot of mud tires on the market, But please don't make the mistake of buying giant mud tire if you don't really need them, do to the fact your quads power will suffer big time do to the added unsprung weight. If you look through some of my pictures you will see all the examples I mentioned and a few others. We have played around with testing diffent combinations on the same quads and proved to us how drastic unsprung weight effects the performance of a quad. I know not everyone likes to drag race like we do but just to give you an example, 27" mudlites on a BF750 puts it 3 quad lengths behind a p650 with stock tires in a 200 yard race. We proved that several times. Hight also is important since your belt drive was set for your stock size, and you may need to make some changes if you plan on increasing the tire hight.
