Good Tires

[dodgeguy]

A 26x12x12 Bearclaw is 35 lbs. HEAVY.

A 27x11x12 'Zilla is 24.3 lbs.

Bearclaws are good....but old tech and a heavy tire.

Sorry...this is just incorrect.

Thanks for the info, and I am very confident the old AC 500 will have the power to spin any 26x11x12 on the rear with a 26x9x12 on the front. Like i said not not too worried about power, just budget and good digging power because of the extra doubling weight. But with the tech info saying the Bearclaws are almost 10lbs heavier than a slightly taller 'Zilla, that matters...IMO!!

I found a different list that shows the Bearclaw a lot lighter...not sure which list to believe now. (edit: Kenda website supports this list here)

Bearclaws may be heavier,but they are a great all purpose tire.Very good traction on snow,mud and shale.Never have had any punctures through all the crap our group put them through(10 machines).Also very smooth driving on roads.
