You got it!

 

I have the 489XT's and must say that they are a great tire. Tough as heck. I have yet to get a flat with them. Traction is excellent. They ride a little rougher than my stock 489 AT's (4ply vs 6ply) but I am very happy with them

 

BigBadScrambler...got my 489's mounted up...with a little help from my friends...They look good, now I just wish I had bumped up the size! Or better yet, put 589's on the rear!

 

Ordered the stock size Bearclaws from 4atvtire.com for about $225 shipped. Wanted a 6-ply, squarish tire but didn't want the weight or the tires sticking out from the fenders. I don't do any real muddin' either. They will definitely be 100% better than the stock Dunflops!

Hopefully they'll be here before the weekend, but I doubt it.

 

ok heres a ? why not the dd

 

Good question kawasaki. I wish I had a definite answer. I have personally not seen either, but:

I've heard the claws wear better

I like the middle-of-tire tread design for riding on hardpack roads

I like the lug on the side of the tire to help dig out of ruts and hillclimbs and help kick away sharp rocks I may brush up against (again)

Bead protection looks good

I don't need a true mud-type tread

I think I read somewhere they'd be better in snow

 

How are my theories? kawasaki, it'll be interesting to swap stories comparing the DD to the Bearclaw in the same size.

 

i dunno yet because rockymountain does not have the dd in stock so you will have to wait a little longer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
