Tires

Has anyone tried the Sadona Rip-Saw (dealer carries them and recommendeds "of course") or the Duro Power Grip (nearly identical to the big horns but $40 less)

Comments?

I see, no opinion, well, thanks for you help

wvprowler has a set of the rip saws and loves them...PM him...he will tell you..

I have a set of the DURO POWER GRIPS on my Rhino. They are wearing real good , have about 1000 miles on them and hardly showing any wear. The are a really smooth riding tire. No flats on them and I would recommend them....

I don't know enough about them. I'm sure they are worth a try

Hobbz had a set of the Duro Grips and had a lot of problems with punctures. I think he punctured 3 tires in 5 rides.

i had a set of duro powergrips on my brute force,they are not radials if you need to know that. they wear good just a little bouncy on the brute. just my opinion rich

Maybe that was an older set, it says that they are 6ply radials, not saying your wrong, but I can only go by what the ad says. but if you have had issues with them, I may want to stay away from them.
Thanks

Did he have 13-15lbs of air in the back ones and 10lbs air in the fronts....that keeps the sidewalls from getting holes in them on sxs's...

Bubba, i'm not sure what pressure he was running in them.

$200, what a deal... NOT, gonna keep looking, Have heard good things about the Rip-Saws. gonna watch them for a bit, will be about 6 months till I need a new set, on the new rims, with the new wheel spacers, with the new shocks, with the new A-arms, with the..... DMN, does it ever end

I'm pretty sure my duro power grips are radials !!!

I put a set of 25" rip saw's on my rhino two weeks ago, so far i like them. but it is too soon to tell......I will know more this weekend.

What ever you get, make sure they are radials. Out of all of them out there, I've heard the most bad luck stories on ITP's radials...Lot's of sidewall rips and holes. I know Bighorns are alot of money, but mine are about 70% tread at 1900 miles. I run 8 lbs all round, with no plugs. I do have a decent amount of cuts on the tread blocks, and a few between the treads, but the sidewalls look like new. I cannot speak for the others mentioned, but someone needs to take a chance and see what they are.

the power grips were radials, I had them on my 420 rancher and never had any problems.

I was running 10ish psi with them on the rzr, which is why I am pretty sure I was having puncture problems. I aired them up for my last couple rides before I put 28's on and didn't have any more problems.

They wear about the same as the original bighorns.

Satisfied with Bighorn performance in everything except deep mud. But, many side wall punctures on the rear @ 10 psi, and went to 14 psi with still yet more side wall punctures. May be operator abuse. BTW these are 14 x 26.

I've got over 4400 miles on my Bighorns and might get another 1500 miles on them. I can't believe how well they've held up. I don't have a single plug in them either, maybe I've just been lucky. The only complaint I have is a little lateral slide with the Bighorns.

I really like the look of the Rip-saw but the tire is very hard and doesn't flex much compared to the Bighorn. But I really don't know how they handle.

My next tire might just be a 26.5 Pitbull Rocker!!

Whatever you get, I would get a radial tire.

Just pulled the trigger on GBC Dirt Commanders. I know, I know, they're not radial but I'm tired of throwing expensive Bighorns away due to sidewall punctures that can't be reliably plugged (or vulcanized due to spreading splits). We'll see. If anyone can break 'em, it's me.

I know one thing for sure. ITP XTC 900 are pure junk. Only 4 miles and had a hole the 30 plugs wouldn't plug. I was running 15 PSI. I am looking at rip saws or maybe buzz saws.

Has anyone tried the Pitbull Rockers or Growlers

i have grim reapers 3000 miles on front 1 plug 1500 on back no plugs run 9.5 psi all around go great

Gun Pilot is running the Growlers

stay away from 14inch wheels.

i had 2500 miles on my factory big horns on the orange S and no plugs. 8psi

You only need a radial if your planning on going fast....

Too heavy that's why I did not go with them.
