hello, im looking into buying 2
25x12.5x9 bear claw tires for my 200es. but i would like to know a couple things
1: wheres the best site to buy these from?
2: any worries i should have with shipping? would hate to lose 160$ for some stupid reason.
3:do they come on a rim thatll bolt right onto my trike? (is the bolt pattern correct)

they wont come with a rim unless you order one with a rim.

looking at them on amazon and says stuff such as
"Built-in rim guard protects your wheel from dings/dents"
"Center lugs provide extra traction and better control."
but that doesnt matter i have wooley boogers on 9 inch rims so i can always swap rims. im not about speed either aslong as my 200es will go 30-35 thats the fastest speed i need. but im keeping my eye out for a 250es....there not too popular around my area. and if i do find one its either 1 grand for a abused one or a average one that they dont wanna sell.

They weigh 24.7 lbs a piece if that helps. Great tire for a lot of mud and snow. I prefer stockers,but these do shine for pure traction.
Please help those who cannot help themselves.

The best place to get Bear Claws in Baltimore, is a little Bakery called Gershbecks (sp). They have the most delicious raspberry filling and are baked to a flakey golden brown. LOL

1. 1986 bigred 250(the huntin' rig)
2. 1985 bigred 250(the workhorse)

Nope they just clear with about 1/3-1/2" on either side.. Not so lucky on my SX though..had to mess around with 10" rim, alternate tire size and spacers..but the end result was just as cool as the BR.
But ride sure did stiffen on both machines because of the heavier tire construction. Thank goodness for the full suspension on the 250ES/250SX..the Bear Claws are not as soft a ride as the original tires. I hope 'aregistereduser' has a strong spine on his hard tail BR..it will be a harsher ride!!
Some guys argue the chevrons are pointed the wrong way..I dissagree. They're awesome the way it is..I was riding thru mud my brothers quad couldn't get thru.

I had Maxxis Surtrack and Bearclaws are kinda a copy of them. They were directional. Sand one way. Dirt (hardpack?) the other way.
Those Bearclaws kinda remind me of Spidertraxs too
