Which tires?

[Rustednuts]

I need to replace the front tires on my '86 Quadsport 230. What kind should I get, Radials or bias ply. I will be doing mostly turf riding in my hay field with 2-3 trips a year to trails up north with mixed terrain. The rear tires are Dick Cepek's that have a tread that looks like a combo of tractor tire and a turf tire. My riding style is not extreme, but can be mildly aggresive. Thanks for your input in advance, Rob.

I put a set of ITP Mudlight XTR radials on my quad and I'm totally satisfied. I mainly use my quad for utility purposes. ( Plow snow, pull a utility trailer, and drag large tree branches to the fire pile.) For general use and dirt trails they are overkill but Ive never gotten stuck in our old houses muddy as* trail. I dunno how effecient they would be for steer tires on a 2WD machine.

If I had the money I would get myself a set of Maxxis RAZRs. I don't so I have Carlisle on my TB now.

[jerod400ex]

im not ever buyin a set of dunlops again the tread is to soft and it wears out quickly especially on the dirt road.... gets holes pretty easy to

$500? Thats $50 shy of my initial investment on this 230S!! Maybe I'll just throw a tube in the leaky one until I can put together that kinda of scratch... This hobby is a cash only venture for me, no credit or financing allowed (according to the boss)!!!

You can try looking into to Sti Mudtrax or Gbc Gators, a lil more affordable and good all terrain tires. I've personally run both, there's aalso another tire boasting same tread and 6 ply design but lighter and cheaper than the Itp Mudlites

if you just have a leak from your tire, most likely cause is small hole or dirt and debris around the bead. mix up a bowl of water and some dish soap and try and find where it is. buy a plug kit if its a hole (you'll want one in your quad anyway) and if it's the bead, take the tire off and let the air out and break the bead seal and clean it. if you put a tube in, it will probablly twist and move and tear the valve stem...

They might be to heavy for his sport quad!

I have yet to try and find a leak, as you suggest. I do have a plug kit and soap mixture in a squirt bottle, as I am in construction and always finding nails! But the tires are showing signs of weather checking and don't appear to have must pliability left. I didn't think about the tube twisting though, very good point!

I`d stay away from tubes !
