tires

[hacktorious]

Hi,

I am looking for a decent of tires for mostly rocky terrain. Any suggestions?

I am considering the ITP's and the Longhorns.

I have a 2008 Honda Rancher 420 with stock rims.

I blew holes in the sidewalls of two of the stock tires so I figure I better just get new ones.

Thanks.

Horns, Have herd they are the best rock tire.

[hacktorious]

OH, I think they are called BigHorns, not LongHorns....... lol

[hacktorious]

Here's the one's I am looking at. The next question is how do I know what size to get?

Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 - ATV Direct - ATV Tires and More - www.4atvtires.com

The existing tires are as follows:

Front: AT24x10x11

Rear: AT24x8x12

The only sizes in the BigHorns are:

25x10x12

25x8x12

Will these work on the existing rims? Thanks.

You will only be able to put 12" tires on the rear... your front rims are 11"

Yea, I found fronts, but not rears. I cannot find rear tires anywhere. I think I might have to get new rims. I hope not.

That is one of the best tires for 4x4's in my perspective

[Stoopidbot1]

The BigHorn, the Terracross, and the Kenda Bounty Hunter are the best all-purpose tires...IMO

[hacktorious]

What about the bear claw?

[drambs8]

decent tire, but I would stick with the tire you already mentioned, IMO I think the Bear claw will wear down fast

[hacktorious]

Unfortunately they don't make the bighorns in my rim size. I really don't want to buy new rims.

[Stoopidbot1]

I hate to break it to you, none of those tires come in an 11" rim. You might have to suck it up and buy some 12" rims for the back...

Kenda BearClaws are an awesome tire for a 4x4 quad. Stay with stock size. My uncle runs them on his 04 Rancher, he has about 1200 miles on them. With about half tread left. He rides on roads and rocky Kentucky terrain. Alot of people in Kentucky run them . All around good tire. Ran them on my Ozark for 3 years to.

Here is a picture of mine with BearClaws on it.

Do they come sized for an 11" rim?

[hacktorious]

Awesome. I was reading up on the bearclaws earlier today. Thanks for the info. I am going to order a set of 4. They have them in 11. Thanks.

the good thing is that its a 6ply tire u wont be worrying bout popping holes in the side walls like ur stockers which were probably a low rated ply right?

Also have bead protecters built in. Roofing nail was the only hole I ever had in them.

To answer your question Bot, yes they do. Along with Mudlites and AMS tires, the Kenda BearClaw has one of the greatest tire selections for utility quads on the face of this planet.

I'm impressed. I know what Kenda is all about...high quality on a budget. I use Kendas on my dirt bikes. Never knew that they had 11" though. Thanks BB

Just glad I could share what little knowledge I have.:smilielol5c:

Yes, that will make all the difference in the world. I think the stock tires are only 2-ply.

That's on a good day.

The Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 are amazing! But I am also a fan of the ITP Mud Lite XL's as well What kind of riding you looking at doing?
