THE WORST TIRE
I use the Grizzly a fraction of what I used to so I was looking for a cheap replacement. I came across the AMS Slingshots on sale for $500 tax in and installed. Around here you would be hard pressed to find anything cheaper. I stuck with the 26×9 and 26×11 sizes. These are 6 ply bias ply tires and not radial. They seem to weigh less than the reptiles but I don’t know the official weight.
First impressions are they should do better in the mud than the reptiles. The lugs are soft and my expectations are low that they will last long. I am going to try and avoid pave as much as possible which I can’t say I did with the reptiles. I only went about 10kms with them last night. Over 80 km/h on the pave they were a little unstable feeling but I suspect that they will smoothen out after breaking in. In the hard pack dirt they seemed to hook up surprisingly well. I can wheelie again on the dirt where as before the rear tires would break loose. I climbed some little sand hills in 2wd and so far am impressed.
I’m going to get a lot more miles on them over this weekend so I will give a update on how they perform.
