swamplites or zillas

title says it all. Looking at either of those for my 850, found the zillas cheaper than the swamplites, both im looking at will be 28s. i ride mostly muddy trails. How are these tires for longevity? Also if anyone has other suggestions. Bearclaws may be an option, but im looking for something a little more aggresive than those

Bar Claw HTR’s

Old Carlisle 489 front tires are shot. :squareeyed: After 6121 miles, 3 plugs in one, 2 plugs and a tube in another, its well past time to replace them. I’m looking at the Bear Claw HTR tires in 25X8x12.

Will they fit on a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 400?

These may be overkill for such a machine with that many miles but it runs like a top and starts in a heartbeat. I plan to keep it going for the future unless something really drastic happens.

Carlise original tires on Sportsman 850 SP 2015

Hi guys for those who own those tires, do you find them on federal trail, mud, rock? I will get a new machine and I was thinking to get the Bighorn tires version 1 radial one. the trail area are composed of rocky surface, gravel, dirt, mud. I prefer to know in advance if those original tires are not so good, I will order better tires and sale my new original tires for better price if they are brand new. or would you have a better suggestion to replace my original tires.
thank you

Help with offset and overall width 2004 Sportsman

I have a 2004 Sportsman 700 EFI with the stock plain steel wheels and I’m looking for new wheels. I want to put on the Maxxis Bighorns with a 26x9x12 in front and 26x12x12 in back. Looks like most all wheels are 4 + 3 offset. right now my overall width is 45" in front and 49" in the rear. Can anybody who is running a similar setup on a similar machine tel me what your width is. I looked and can not find any data on what the offset of these stock wheels is. I cannot be any wider than 50" to be able to ride on a lot of trails I go on. I searched but couldn’t find anything conclusive.

Who runs Same Size tires all around?

I am looking to upgrade tires sometime. Can I run same size Fronts and Rears and get away with no rubbing? Stock suspension. Don’t think will do much for lift. Want a radial in 6-8 ply. Trail ride, some rocks, and around the farm and gravel roads. Mud, every once in a while. Something that won’t rub, but get a better stance. Thinking 28" Bearclaw, Ripsaws, Mega Mayhems or something similar. Want to keep Price under $150 per tire. Probably stay with stock steel 12" rims. Will pick up either another pair of fronts or backs. Thanks.

Sorry forgot to say it is on a ’10 Sportsman 800

Efx motoboss

Don’t find to much in search about the efx motoboss… Looking at the 32’s or 34’s, only thing 32’s we’ll have to get 15" wheel and really not many choices in tires if I didn’t like these… Mixed between these choice or just doing the 31 laws and forget about it… Anyone out there running the motoboss and have any input they can share please….
