interco vampire tire

[acidburn]

I have a set of 27s from my old 4x4, they will fit the rims, but you didnt state what they are going on. They may rub on the exhaust or whatever else is under your fenders. They are a wide tire, my 12'' vamps measure 13'' wide with 3 psi. They will rob alot of power on any small engine since they are a heavy tire with big lugs. I had mine on a 400 and it struggled at times with them.

They'll fit the rims no prob like Super90 said. What are they going on and how do you ride? I mean if all you need is straight line traction they work well, but if you get "sporty" with your riding ie; like to slide out in turns and do a lot of donuts and drifting then get the regular swamper tsl's. the reason is the vamps tread blocks are taller and are at more of an angle and you will have a hard time sliding around corners with them, they will bite and flip you, trust me I know all to well. The vamps are not the tire if you like any type of sport style riding but they do great if you just need max traction in straight line and mud bogging. The regular tsl's tread blocks run closer to straight across the tire and they are a little shorter, you can slide these around all day long like your running some wore out holeshots. They still do very good in the mud. the regular tsl's are also a lot lighter with more plient sidewalls than the vamps so they are more comfee on the bumps if you ride an old hardtail. They both wear like iron and last a long time. Gators are another tire that has a hard rubber that last a long time. Maxxis Mud Bugs have a soft compound and wear a little over twice as fast as the swampers or gators.

I have a set of 25x13-9 on my Big Red 250ES and they barely touched the front of my fenders when the wind pushes the fender back at higher speed. Other than that, they are fine, but not as good in the mud as I had hoped. They are really good in snow and sandy ground though.

ok so the trails i ride are all mud bogs barely any hard surface closest to hard surf would be some soft grassy ground, also the exact tire i was thinking of getting is "TSL VAMPIRE ATV Tires" and i have a GBC gator 25x12-5 on the front

[BIG_RED-ICULOUS]

Good luck finding a pair of 25x13x9 vampires, I have word right from interco themselves they have none in stock, and won`t be making them for another 4 months...just my two cents

[acidburn]

To be honest, I can't offer any suggestions other than I am not impressed with the Vampires I have. They plug bad with the mud around here, and I don't think they have enough lugs. Kinda heavy too.

Their are better mud tires than a vamp, the problem is getting a Better tire in this size is hard. the highlifter outlaws and the new gorilla silverbacks dont come in this size for a 9 inch rim. You can get mud bugs, gators and mud zillas in that size. check with the tire manufactures regarding tread depth, they often vary with in a line according to tire size. the the gators in this size have .75" tread depth where as the 26x12x12 gators I had on the back of my kodiak 400 4x4 were 1.25" deep. the mud bugs are a constant 1.2" through the entire line I think but dont quote me. Check with maxxis regarding the depth of the mud zillas in this size. if you buy some 10 or 12" rims for the back you will have a lot more available tires to choose from.

i guess im kinda screwed for tires :S gbc gators in my size and discontinued mud bugs are not in my size at the dealer around here....
