I just picked up a 1985 250es! It needs tires badly, and the stock wheels are in pretty rough shape. I searched the forum and found several threads about running 26" or 27" tires on ITP Delta Steel wheels (4x110-4+3) looks best from what I have read. My question is regarding tires, tread pattern, and traction.
I like the Super Swamper TSL's (27x9x12 front, and 27x12x12 rear). I primarily ride in sand (sandpit lake and sand bottom river), so the tread (especially on the back) looks like it will work well, and the price is great! My only concern is front tire traction- maybe its marketing, but Interco says that the lateral tread is less aggressive, allowing the tire to slide sideways more easily. I read a post about Vampires, but this tread pattern looks slightly different. Any advice is appreciated!
