AKheathen Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) unfortunatly 22s they will bump you into a little more terrain than those mudders for a while, but they are still a lower speed tire and will balloon and wear in the middle after a bit. i have the 22/12/9 bear claws, and they're not completely worn out, but the lugs are rounding out, killin my bite. getts embarrassing when a 350 bruin keeps up with you in the snow untill a straitaway. best bet is to throw those on and save a couple hundred for something like vampires. the tire guy at work was talkin about another tire where he lives where the terrain is mud, marsh, dirt, gravel and occasional sand. i'm headed there now, so i'll ask again, cause i can't remember the name right now. this is the best pic right now Edited December 22, 2008 by AKheathen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlasterKX Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 those look mean. i dont do any snow riding. but i rebuilt my buddys 80s suzuki lt230 motor for him. and these tires were on there and now hes selling and he told me he would trade me straight up for doing his motor. so i figured id give em a try. id like to get my hands on a pair of MUD SHARKS. <- those r badass tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mofoka Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 the first pic looked like bear claws. the second... you got me there. I put on my Bear claws if it has been raining a lot and the trails are muddy. If you do end up trying out those Vampires let me know. I've been Eveing them for a bit but my claws are pretty much new still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitkendall Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) the first pair are itp mudlite sp's but the secound pair must be discontinued or something becouse i looked on kendas website and all my catalogs and there was nothing that looked close to those the first pair the mudlites are some good tires my bro in law had them on his blaster and he went through some major mud holes like a 4wheel drive would i just didnt like how they handle in the corners and things like that myself ill stick with razr2's and holeshot gncc's on my 2 bikes myself but if it gets muddy i may hve to try em out they kinda cheap down this way bout 60 bucks a piece Edited December 22, 2008 by pitkendall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been Eveing them for a bit but my claws are pretty much new still. no, actually the first ones are itp mud lights, which are moe of a "tear shit up in tight trails and mud holes" kinda tire. the kenda bear claws are what i have,(notice the proprietary lugs in the center) and i love them, but.... they are worn from ballooning. i asked the tire guy again today, and he was talking about the interco. super swampers, but when i looked into them, they had no lateral traction for "safety" i do alot of power sliding, but i also side ride on hills and i don't know how well they will hold for that. so, i went back to lookin at the vampires so i can strap the centers when and if they start balloon wearing, but i don't know if they'll let me slide enough over mougles, and after landing a jump sideways to make the next turn. too much side bite can be bad. i always say, if you found what you like, or works for you, stick with it, i get curious, and everyone on here says vamps, and everyone on the penninsula says super swampers. as for those kenda's, they look more like mud sports, or swamp lights, made by one of thier late subsidaries, and were replaced once the computor designing completely took over. they look nice and to have some mid-lateral traction, but are probably made of the same composites as mine, and would be suseptable to more ballooning and rounding. they would be great for tearing into the dirt, mud, trails, and ok on the sand, but probably only a season left in them, so save up still for an end of summer sale on some new ones.
