2000 Suzuki Quadrunner 500
In repairing what I thought was a front differential failure I've come to realize its time for new tires. I bought this thing new, when I was in 8th grade (via an agreement with my dad and being the groundskeeper at our church). By far, the most reliable machine I've ever owned. It's had a "bigfoot" kit since its first winter. It's time to replace the original 23 year old Highlifter Outlaw tires.
I want something close in capability but a little smoother, easier to steer and less slippery on dry, hard trails. I don't seek out mud holes anymore but I will hit them if I find one.
The current tires are 28x10.5-12 up front and 28x12.5-12 in the rear. I want to stay close to that size and I'm looking for opinions.
I've got it narrowed down to:
ITP Mega Mayhem 28x9-12 & 28x11-12 @ $724
Maxxis Zilla 28x10-12 & 28x12-12 @ $648
ITP Mud Lite XL 28x10-12 & 28x12-12 @ $702
SunF A050 Mud & Trail 28x10-12 & 28x12-12 @ $592
I like the look of the Mega Mayhem but they come in at 1" narrower all around. Do you guys feel like this different would be a big deal?
Any experience with the SunF? The are almost identical in appearance to the Mud Lite.
Looking for any help in narrowing this down.
Thanks
