Recommended tires

[DirtNGrind]

Are Maxxis Tires good for my 2006 Polaris Hawkeye 4X4? there's just too many tires to choose from, but what's recommended for my ride?

Zillas would be my first choice, lightest mud oriented all terrain tire out there.

Zillas would be my first choice to but a cheaper but just about as good choice is mud lights.

If its the Hawkeye 300 go with Black Diamond. They come in the correct size for your stock rims, give you a 1/4 of an inch extra ground clearance and your machine can turn them without any modifications to the clutch etc.

Can't really go wrong with Maxxis Zillas. I don't know the specs of the Black Diamond tires but they are radials, so they'll probably be considerably heavier than the equivalent Zilla.

Just got Mud Bugs for my Po-Po all good.

biggest problem with mud bugs, no side grip and heavier than zillas and are more a mud tire than all round trail. on a 300 you, would be better with lighter tires.

A few guys were saying that lites have a tendancy to bead leak, Bugs i have r a bit heavier but still all around good tire but i c what your saying on a 300 though ya lighter would b better as i am running a 500/850 so ya.

I don't get your reply? What do you mean by correct size for your rims? All these tires that are mentioned com in large selection of sizes

The Hawkeyes and Sportsman 300 factory rims are small and its hard to find good quality tires that fit. I have a 2010 300 and had a bitch time finding a good all around tire that would give me the grip I wanted. Rainy Creek in Eckville brought the Black Diamonds in specifically for the 300 because it was one of the few tires that fits the 300 factory rims. That's where I got mine and they've been terrific.

From what I can tell, stock tires are Front: 22x7-12, Rear: 22x10-12.

Yep. Those are the ones. The factory maxxis ones were pricey to replace and sucked.

They you should have no problem fitting 23" Zillas.

I didn't know they came in 23". I thought 25" was the smallest they came in. Cool. I learned something new today. Rapid Revolutions would probably be a good place to get them?

Here's the tire chart:

Rapid Revolutions has very good pricing and will mount them for free. However, this is an odd tire size that he probably doesn't stock, so he may have to order them in for you.
