    Need tire opinions for a 250es

    One of my rear tires has a hole in it, and I'm looking to get a new set. I have one brand new Carlisle Turf Buster, and can just buy one more and then I'd be good, or I was thinking about picking up a set of the following tires:

    Mud Lites
    Spider Tracs
    Bear Claws
    Dirt Devils
    Gators
    Mud Bugs
    Maxxis Sur Traks

    There is alot of water and mud around here, and alot of rocks as well. Some trails are old logging trails, and the odd time I'd be riding on a dried up snowmachine trail(gravel, rocks). Just looking for opinions on which tires are good for mud and snow, and that won't wear out if you take them on a packed trail after a while. Keep in mind, that I could just buy another Carlisle Turf Buster and have a set of those, but are any of these tires like a large amount better, and really dig thru the mud? Thank you much in advance.

    I have 25x12.5-9 Bear Claws on my 83 big red. Those tires are amazing. Mud, Snow, Rocks, and dirt road riding, they have crazy traction. Also they are 6 ply so a flat tire is almost impossible. Bear Claws are the way to go.
    I just thought of something funny...your mother

    83 Big Red with Bear Claws (SOLD)

    85 Tri Z with Maxxis Alltrax rear tires on .190 aluminum rims, DG pipe, Answer SA Pro silencer, High Flow Fuel Pump, and UNI air filter (SOLD)

    99 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 with Warn winch and custom skidplates

    85 Honda 250 SX with Dirt Devils (near mint) (SOLD)
