what is the Best atv all terrain tire

[kawasakikx250]

So i noticed the old dry my tires are getting a few dry rot cracks in them. So im going to need new tire really soon and started looking into them. I hear the ITP mud light tires are good but heavy. The KEND K299 bear claws look good. What do you guy know about the Traxion gripper Tire? They look a lot like the Maxxis bighorn. Thanks for any advice I get

The Mud Lites aren't heavy, but the sidewalls are thin, hence the Lite. The XTR's are a little heavier, but still much lighter than a full on mud tire. They also have a flatter profile like the Bear Claws but last better and have a slightly deeper tread. More money than the Claws or Lites though. What kind of machine and riding?

Picked up a 2011 sportsman 850 XP touring a few weeks ago that came with swamp lites. They seem like a pretty good light tire. Have 25" Bear claws on a DS650 that seem to do well given that it's a sport quad. The XMR 1000 is running Black water evolutions on beadlocks and have been quite happy with those, and they are an 8 ply tire. No tire punctures when we went to Moab. Picked up a project raptor 700 this winter and got some new RZR II tires for it, will see how that performs in a couple weeks. What did you end up going with for tires on your machine?
