anyone running kenda pathfinders or ams fox a/t tires on the rear of their machines? i would be looking to put them on my 250 sx. other option would be traditional deestone d930 wooley booger type.
cost is same for all three styles. wondering what people recommend for all around riding including light mud and moderate snow.

My grandpa has Pathfindes on his 4 wheeler and they seem like a decent tire but why not some good ol knobbie they work great as a general purpose tire.

Cannot beat the Cheng Shin knobbie on an SX in my opinion. All three of your tire choices have the same amount of plies? Two ply all the way on a trike.

I have Carlisle knobbies right now and they are absolutely pathetic in snow.
I was hoping there were better options than knobbies

I have Deestone 930s on a 200s and I really like them. I also have Kenda Scorpions on my SX and they are great tires too. I am a little disappointed in the Scorpions because they don't measure out exactly. They are shorter than they say. The 930s do better in the mud than my Scorpions.

That's good feedback. Thanks.

Pathfinders run small, If you're concerned about ride height I wouldn't recommend them. They do perform better then knobbies

Keep in mind a four ply tire will ride harder, but it could also handle better if you can afford to give up the suspension the two ply tires offer. It's all huge rocks where we ride so the cushion the two ply tires offer is almost necessary.

Those are great in the mountains where we ride. Great traction all around, mud and snow and lots of flex and give (suspension). Four Snows are better in the snow but the Cheng Shin knobbie does really well for an all around tire.

The Fox A/T is a golf cart tire. Need to look on golf cart sites. Google GM221108FOX, and it will give you a bunch of sites. Prices are all over the place $74 to $133. I ordered a pair from Gilbert Golf Cars and Parts in Florida today. Shipping to Missouri was $22, so hopefully they can get them to me.

FYI, there is a 250sx on ebay right now (may have just ended) that has these tires on the bike. They look a little flatter than I thought they would. Should ride nice being a radial tire.

Sort of unrelated but i wish they still made the "fox at" in the 15x7x6 they have been a great tire for the kids yt60
Zinger. They still have good life thankfully, but when it comes time to replace them i hear theres not much if any tire in that size anymore. 241512. I really dont know how you bigger guys ride them for more than a few mins without cramping up.
