I got my Bear Claws for $115 a pair including the tax....that's less than $60 a tire, which was Cajun66's budget. Also, Cajun, I would go for the Mud Machines. They are lighter than the Bear Claws and like I said before, the tread pattern is very similar to the Claws. I've been told they root like the claws, and I'm telling you that you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !!!

Out of the ones listed the Mud-lites and the Dirt Devils will have a shallower tread depth, 5/8" I think. You have to go up to 25 and 26" to get the deeper treads on these. I have known people who love their Super Swampers, I run Vampires on the back of my Big Red and they are a great tire. The Gators have a deep tread, a friend of mine has a set on his quad and they work well. I can't say on the Bear Claws, I haven't seen any in action. Everything I have read say they are a good all around tire.

I run 589's on a 450 foreman but it's always a trade-off with ride quality so ask your self how deep are you willing to go cause all these farm tires are only as good as your axle is clear...I think my Big Red's clear about 5.5in. and that ain't much.

A friend works at All-Pro cycles in Baker La. and let me do a "hands on" comparison between most of the tires I was looking at. I had him order me 2 Mud Lites. If I'm not satisfied with then I'll make another choice when I get my 200 big red next week.
