Going to head up toward Redfern for the moose GOS and definitely need some new tires on the Rhino for that gumbo.

Where is a good place to buy locally? I don't think I have time to order on-line.

Also, I have a note saved from reading a thread a couple years ago that said MudBugs are good ATV tires. Anybody have a different recommendation?

Thanks.

I think thats where i bought my tires. Good guy, fellow hunter if i remember correctly. I went in there wanting maxxis bighorn 2.0 tires and his price for them were decent. He recommended a different brand for half the price "swamp witch" i think. I got the cheaper tires and almost 8 years later they're still going strong. Saved me a couple hundred bucks.

Yes. Eric is a fellow hunter and always has good cost saving options.

i would just like to add ..... avoid Holeshot. I have no idea how those people stay in business with their prices and hourly rates for service.

Buddy just bought new tires for his grizzly. $250 cheaper online, then buy a set of spoons and do em yourself. If you run low pressures, use a bead of roof repair compound around the mounting surface before you set the beads. Prevents burping air and loosing the beads at lower tire pressures

I put on a set of Traxion Grippers last year from atvtirescanada.com and have been very happy with them. They are *very* similar to the bighorns, and available in a 6-ply bias or 8-ply radial construction. I went with the 6 ply bias. I don't have a tonne of kilometers on them yet, but they're still in mint shape and were much less expensive than the Maxxis tires. There's also a hybrid mud/trail type called the Nitro.

Go here http://www.motovan.com/dealer-locator/

Any dealer across Canada can "drop ship" product for an extra $16 or so. They carry STI, Kenda, Maxxis, ITP, GBC, Interco, CST, VeeRubber and a few others I think. I always liked STI Tires and Rims, but Maxxis Carnivores are the tits for all round performance. They are Maxxis, so they are a little pricier but worth it.

I don't know where to buy the tires, but Maxxis Bighorns are probably the best trail riding tire out there. Aggressive enough to go through some serious mud, but hard enough to last on hard rocky terrain. Also very good in the snow.

I have a set on my side by side, and I have put probably 20,000-25,000km on them and they are still fine. Its been 10 years now with some hard riding and Ive only replaced one due to driver error (girls rocked a rim and didn't know, so drove on it flat and ruined it)

Bighorn 2.0 are the same tire less ply (8 instead of 10 I think) but if its me, I am getting the regular as I want the strength over weight savings.

Bighorns and bighorn 2.0 are both 6 ply

I've run the radials for a few years on my can am defender sxs and they have been great for all conditions. Tread still looks almost like new.

Check Chapmoto.com in the US for really low prices....also called Chaparral. They have some
good videos on testing ATV tires for mud traction, stopping, hill climbing, pulling a load, etc.

Just had a chat with Eric. Great customer service. Not sure what tire I'll end up with but I'll definitely be buying from him.

Best Service best selection best price… All in one spot. Another happy ITC customer...
Kenda Bear Claws. Thought they were a good balance between traction, smooth ride and reasonable price.

I run a bear claw on the back of my dirtbike. Great tire that works well in snow or mud. Tends to dig in deep snow as soon as it spins, but that could be the concentrated load on a single tire that does that

Have the Bear Claw EVO's on one of my quads . . . like them. There are some ATV tire weight tables available . . . also the formula for un-sprung weight and its effect on acceleration, etc. Interesting reading . . .

ITP mudlites used to be the gold standard. Still the case or are the options being talked about thus far beating the good ole mudlites now? I live on the island so not a lot of mud really. Any old all-round tire will do the trick.

Cheers,

I purchased radial Bighorns two seasons ago and won’t go back to bias plys. From all the research I did they seamed to be the “gold standard”. There is definitely a noticeable difference in how they ride. The radial doesn’t “roll” over itself when cornering but does need slightly more air presssure. I believe I maintain 7psi in mine. Atvtirescanada.com had them to my door in three days and were far cheaper than I could find locally.
