I am curious as to what tires are the best. I know conditions play a factor so lets use catagories, say mud, sand or snow . I have not been into quading for a long time, the quad I have now kinda landed on me(litarly once!) It has 27"carlise swampers, they seem to out perform any of my buddies quads or any other quads I have run into. I do need to use the quad with a plow, are there better tires for snow?

I'm not familliar with the tires that you are running now but I have got a great respect for kenda bear claws from by days of bogging on dads 360 kvf kawasiki.

I would agree with Demon Rider Kenda Claws are the tires you need.If your riding on tough terrain like mud,sand & snow Kenda Claws will do the job for ya.

To tell you the truth this is the first time I have seen these type of tires.They look really strong and they have more tread than I've ever seen before on any other tire.3" inches of tread on the tire should get you out of trouble in the mud or even the swamp for that matter.Usually side by sides like the Yamaha Rhino have these types of tires.As a matter of fact the King Quad has similar tires like the swamp pro's.I race yfz450 in the woman's 450 class so I don't know much about mud tires.So are you gonna get them?

I have them now. At low speeds its like driving with paddle tires. My friends won't drive within 20 feet of me when were in the mud or on muddy trails. Seems the 4lbs chunks of mud my tires toss, even at low speeds, hurt when they hit you in the head.:D

Your right about that cause I got a taste of that mud myself literally could taste it cause it was slinging off their tires.I myself Just got back from a race down in PA. and they had the last mud bogging race of the year.Not that I was part of it cause that's not my type of racing but I did watch the race and man! These guy's were having a lot of fun, some getting stuck so far in the mud that you couldn't even see the quad anymore.People were running around trying to get these guy's out with rope,wenches,tie downs these guys used just about anything to get out and make it to the finish line.I gotta tell ya it was a lot of fun just to watch!I'm so glad that my moto race started before the mud bog race cause I was full of mud head to toe.:D Where did you guy's go to ride?
