I have run two sets of Vipers on two different quads, an 89 Suzuki Quad Runner a long time ago & on my current Warrior before switching to Bandits. The Viper is a pretty good tire for the money with a fairly hard compound which gives it good wearing qualities and it hooks up quite well on hard pack.

23" didn't bother me at all.

if you want a tire for trails, mud, rocks, loose dirt. Maxxis sur-tracks are a great tire.

They give you so much traction, My blaster would just plow right through mud.

I don't know how long they last, Ed Smith claims to have 2,000 on his.

I have about 100 on mine and they are showing some good signs of Wear
