big red 250 front tire choices

[captainweezy]

I had a nice used mudbuster in my stock pile and figured i would mount it up on the front of BR. The old one was dry cracked, worn out and it didn't allow the trike to turn well(grip) in the lightest mud. I noticed the grip part during trike fest the most. So after i mounted up the mudbuster and put it back on the bike, I noticed the side lug is going to hit the fork boot. I don't want to replace the boot so i am looking at other options. I am not looking to spend $100. I just want a good turn-able tire that does not rub the shock boot. I do not want a knobby. What is everybody else running?

I was gonna tell you about the 25x12.5x9 Kenda Bear Claws I got for my BR at Rocky Mountain..but then I went on the site and found that size isn't listed anymore..

Not in production??? Maybe just not available thru them??

They work great and fit between the forks..snuggly but not rubbing!!

Look nice too!

Those bear claws look good on your big red, Doug. I think the oem Ohtsu front tire works fine, they actually give it the best ride all around imo.

I have a duro HF-243 on the front of mine and it seems to work fine. It goes through cow s#%t with out any problems. 135911135912

Yeah they are are a nice ride on the trails, but in the heavy mud the Ohtsu's side slip too much..

I have as new Dirt Devil I'll sell for $35 + the ride. It is as new. Texaskev got the other two. Very aggressive,yet nice ride. Let me know! We can probably swap parts too if you'd rather.
