I like the ITP Blackwaters and I also like the Pure Sport Realtors. Have any of you guys owned both sets and pro's or cons of both. Do you have another choice. Just for a good all around tire going on a 200x. Already have a descent everyday tire looking more for trails occasional mud and maybe some sand.

I had the Realtors and HATED them! Bumpy, heavy and wasn't terrably impressed with the traction. The All Traks are real impressive looking. I saw them on TimSr's machines and they without a doubt looked like a great agressive self cleaning tire that would be perfect for a 200x. A 200x would be greatful for the lighter tire too.

If you don't like weight. don't get " BearClaws " .. they grip like no other but are stiff and HEAVY .. rear suspension is a must.

The Blackwater is an AWFUL tire! Weight wise, it may as well be filled with bricks, and as far as the way they ride, they FEEL like they are filled with bricks. Air pressure is not necessary since they are hard as a rock. The only good point is that they are indestructible, with surviving a Blackwater 100 in mind. Yes, I ran a set for a half a day. My rear shock blew its oil that day. Coincidence? Yamaha shocks are known for a short lifespan, but I believe mounting those "bricks" to my rims and riding it that day affected the timing of this event.

As for Realtors, they are a retarded sand tire aimed at mudrunners, and not a very impressive performer at that. They may hook up in mud, but you cant drive a straight line through it.

I love my All-Traks on my TriZ, but personally, I think they are too much tire for a 200X. My suggestion would be stock Dunlop 400EX tire, or Warrior Tire which sell cheap, ride nice, are a softer tire and a little rounded which make them a great mud and trail tire. ran them on my TRX250R for quiet some time, and they performed great, but I wanted something meatier to exploit the full potential of my bigger beast.

Mudlites are the way to go.
