    One man's trash is another man's treasure.

    Ya see I had to search for a pair of NOS trail pros for my tiger 500 because they came on it direct from the tiger factory and I want my restoration to be identical to the TIGER 500 in the magazine down to EVERY detail. I had a hard time finding these trail pros and took the search as serious as looking for an ohtsu or discontinued dunlop.

    Before everyone starts marching with torches chanting "they're available"!!! "go to walmart" !!! the tiger 500 had 10 inch rear wheels and 10 inch CARLISLE trail pros. They only make them in 8 and 9 inch now . The vintage magazines are peppered with ads for the 10 inch tires. The available smaller tires would not work for me visually because with all that tire and no rim they look like a huge black meatball with a quarter in it. That would not do my spot on restoration justice..... thats how picky I am. Well I found a pair of NOS 10 inch trail pros and am thrilled!!!!!

    Here are the trail pros on my original tiger wheels.

    Also the new carlisle trail pros are manufactured differently than the old ones. The new ones have 1 inch long thick round tenticles for nipples and they look like a bad science project. The older ones have the more normal size nipples/mold marks like the ohtsus to show they are new.

    Never thought in a million years I would be searching hard for CARLISLE trail pros but I did!!!

    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    There is just somthing about riding a hard tail with a tire that flexes like a brick that is totally unappealing to me.

    yeah they are stiff but since they are rock hard you can actually get some sliding in the corners

    I studded a garbage pair of them that I had last winter. Pulled my ice shack across the lake with no slippage.

    this is funny reading this, I never knew that these tires were so hated by you guys. Its also really funny because the last 3 trikes I have bought or gotten for free have all happened to come with these tires on them, haha strange coincidence I guess? that just seems to be how things go for me though. I really dont mind them at all, sure they clog up with mud and snow, but they dont seem to do it any quicker than the stock tires that came on the atcs. I've never had any problems with them, then again I'm not trying to do MX on a 125m, drag race my 200s, or go through 3 foot mud holes on a klt 110, haha just ridin around the farm they do great

    How do you guys think they compare to Nankangs? another low end tire. Does anyone notice that they closely resemble turf tamers?

    Why is it almost every trike I have found behind a barn or other neglected area has those damn tires on them? i have a few machines that came with them when I got it. As lond as they are on a four stroke ute, I'll leave them there. There is no sense in spending money on other tires if these have so much life still on them. The bad thing about that is they never wear out.

    Yep and I love Nankangs. Awesome tire even on an SX; as long as you kept them cleaned out they were excellent in mud
