what tires are more aggressive than all trails but still street friendly?

ibtravis · 02-29-2012, 09:37 AM

i just bought some all trails 25x10.5x12 to replace my mudlites 27x12x12 and they just didnt look right on my cart. Im looking for something a bit more aggressive. They did ride good on the street but i just cant get use to the way they look.
any suggestions?
thanks

Dirt Devils!

could do this but not advising but trim off some lugs on your new tires to give them a more aggressive pattern.

has anybody tried the moto350 on the street?

Check out the Duro power grip, they're like a Maxxis Bighorns but a lot cheaper. I got a set of 26x10x12 from rockymountainatv for like $340 shipped. Nice chunky tread but ride nice on the street too.

I run the swamp fox 25x10-12, and they're excellent tires. The duro powergrips should be great tires as well.

Do NOT get the maxxis zillas. That is what I have and they are not smooth at all on black top. GOOD for offroad but not the street. They look great though!

is there any reason to go wider than 10"?
thanks again

No, and I go 10" wide all the way around so I can rotate them occasionally.

I have some old trail pro tires, have run them since 99. I don't go on roads much hardly ever on pavement but do here and there. These tires are great on about anything and wear has been low, but maybe because I am on dirt all the time. Anyway they are a large knobby more or less, I think that is why the tires you see on utv now like the powergrip, and 489s were always good all around, because in the center at least they are more or less a knobby tire.

Only problems I have are mud plugging them but I don't do mud really. So I would bet a tire with an offset knobby type tread in the center is going to be good on roads. Mudlite tried to barely have knobs in the center to do this. The outsides can be more radical tread long as it runs on the center on hard surfaces. My tires are good on dirt/sand/soft and hard pack/roads, not bad in snow, sticky mud plugs them up unless they can be spun harder and my stock power could not lol.

I like wide tires, more floatation on sand/etc and they look beefy. You can rotate them. They are ok on roads long as the tire is rounded, but a real rounded tire is going to wear in the center faster. I think that is one reason all trails are so good on road the tread is flat so it wears even and not as much.
