you can get brand spanking,never seen a trail, new stock dunlops,on ebay mounted,and on brand new stock rims for about half the price on ebay

people buy a new grizz,and want a wheel kit on it before they even take it home,and the dealers sell the factory tires,and rims they take off them,and sell them on ebay cheap

another shady *** thing that dealers do is they take off the stock set, add a set of aftermarket rims and tires, then charge you for the big wheel kit and don't give you the stockers or deduct that value from the retail price. And people freakin fall for it all of the time! Ridiculous. I agree with the Ebay thing though. Good place to pick up a set of lightweight stock rims for cheap.

hey,

as long as we're discussing tires for the grizzly...i've got a question. I've asked before but no real straight answer yet. Bighorn Radials. I know they are not a mud tire...but I want to know one thing...are they better, worse, or the same as the stock tires in the mud?

thanks

I would say better since they are a radial tire. Radial tires are the way to go thats why I suggest Grizzman42 to take a hard look at the 25" holeshot ATR's. They are like stock but are radials which will give you a more smoother ride and more of the tire is touching the ground so it also gives you more traction. Its what you want trust me. You not a mudder so forget the rest!


P.S.
They are Awesome in the snow plus they are lightweight!

I put 26 inch mudlites on my Grizz and lost about 5 mph so mabey with the 25 inch one you might only lose a couple of mph.

I have 27 ' Kenda Bear Claws on mine I still top out at 61 mph. My main point is if you were to get them in a 25 or 26' you will have one hell of a tough tire they are 6 ply. very good traction, and ride good on hard surface.good luick.

i put the mudzillas on mine recently,,,they are unbeatable for traction in mud,,,and are OK on trails,,,but absolutly horrible on the pavement

i had a bet with my buddy,that i could make it through a mud hole that knowone has made it through,and last weekend we were out riding and breezed by the hole to have a look,and they all started ragging on me,,,i said i wanted to get the rest of my mods on before attempting it,but i couldnt take the trash talk anymore ,and said what the hell

i put it in low range,put it in all 4 lock 4x4,and went for it,,,,about 20 feet in they said my exaust was under,and i could see mud up to my tank,and i just kept the gas steady,and even,and the Grizz just kept crawling through it,,,and it crawled right out of it

i was covered from head to toe,like a mud man,or swamp thing,and they said when i turned around,all they could see was a set of pearly whites just a grin'n back at um

ive been rag'n those Polaris lovers all week,and he paid the 50 promptly,but begrudgingly,,,and later they told me that they were egging me on to see the Grizz get pulled out by their Polaris,because they absolutly didnt expect me to see the other side

im still gonna do the lift kit,and Gorrila's,because i want to roll through it next time,instead of crawl,,,,Grizzly's are worth their weight in gold
