Let's get a thread started for tires.
I'm aiming towards traction tires but turf and steering will work here too.

I like the looks of the ATV Swamp Fox but I'd like to check out these GYs too.

I've not looked for these yet in my 26x12x12 size (I'd prefer 26x14x12)

Here's a dealer selling Swamp Fox.
26x12x12 = $211.90 pair.
They sell them on ebay for $169.99 with shipping included. 1.2" tread depth 6 ply.

Good topic Ken...I've been lookin at these Swampwitch tires on ebay. 26x12x12...$115pair and 25x10x12...$112pair
The reviews I've read on the ATV sites seem to look pretty good, no complaints with them.

Brendan - My thinking is that on hard ground the Witch would tend to ride on the center section and maybe not sink in enough to bite as much as I'd like it to. It should ride smoother than the 23x10.5x12s that I have on my 127.
On softer ground those would be good and for yard work where you don't want it sinking in.
I want some bad azz tires on the back of my 18/2082 no matter how loud the ol lady yells

----- oh and I read one forsale ad on craigslist where a guy was "thinking" about selling his Witches and they had started tearing on the inside.

Tom - It works both ways ... kinda acdc ...

Ken, BB and all,
I think that the ATV tire are a better choice for Lawn and Garden tractors. They squat and flex better giving better traction.

 

[bbrigham]

These would work well for all around also
Nebraska Tire : $88 each, 26x12x12

Tom , my thoughts exactly, I used to race hare scrambles and have seen 2WD atv's go unreal places with the right tires

6-ply 26x12x12 Mud Gear

Now I need to look for front tires.

 

[bbranstetter]

I like mine but I wish they had come with a little more tread depth. Way better than stock though, preaty easy on the grass too.

Got my Mud Gears today

All I can say is WICKED !

I need a set of those on my Toyota

 

[kmcconaughey]

KENtucky, wow are those aggressive looking!

 

[kweaver]

To bad I can't get to the cub right now to take off the wheels ... you should see my shop !!!!!!!!!
Trying to clean it and having to move everything is piling it up.

 

[bbrigham]

Ken....Nice

can't wait to see them mounted.

 

[kweaver]

Brenden - Then get down here and dig out my Cub !
I guess I should have been out there working tonight but I was trying to nap so I'd be ready for the storms when they get here in the wee hours ... but I couldn't go to sleep.

 

[bbrigham]

Would if I could, hell I'd even mount um for ya I'm so bored. A few minuets too far away though. Storms....I'm ready to put my deck back on, no sense having a snow blade here in NY.

 

[sweinacht]

Do you need a special Valve stem to put water in the tires?

Ken... Post a pic when you get them on. They look good!
