As a newbie with only 5 hrs of ride time on my ’16 850 SP, I think I just blew a bunch of money on the wrong tires..I live in NY state where it is bone DRY right now as there has been no rain this year..It is rocky, hard pack, dusty, and LOOSE!..I swapped out the stock Maxxis CST’s for Pro Armor Attacks as I wanted the puncture resistance with 8 plys and a deeper tread pattern for better traction..but…Its not what I wanted!… in a word, the performance SUCKS…Not only has the weight of the Pro Armor’s killed the acceleration, but the machine feels downright slow..It bounces wildly uncontrollable over everything..the ride is HARD..no longer can I slip the corners using the throttle because of more roll and weight..going up rocky and loose steep inclines is a nightmare as it bounces hard off everything and always looking for traction..I realized before buying that these tires were heavier and probably perform amazing in muddy conditions, but I never expected them to feel so slow and "loose"..If anything, I thought the deeper treads would feel "quicker" accelerating and climbing but its just the opposite..I should have done more research I guess..So heres what I’m thinking and could use some help..Should I find some tires lighter and more suited to this dry terrain?..and save the Pro Armor’s for a future muddy season?..My choice has taken the fun out of my riding and I’m a bit bummed out right now..Any help would be appreciated..
