I cannot even begin to tell you how much better they are on my Z400 over stock.  We ride in lots of sugar sand, hard pack, rocks, roots, woods, a little mud(if it's inbetween us an the trail ahead), and I have yet to get stuck where my son gets stuck with the stockers all the time.  Nice flat profile, if you get a flat they would get you home without air, I sometimes run them this way in the soft sand.  I have the 22x12x8 and the little bit of asses clearance is great.  At first I lowered the gearing by 1 tooth on the front, but after the HMF slip-on, I put it back.  I can often times wheelie in the same places where before the rears would just spin.  Not showing any wear after prob 100 hrs of beating on them......GREAT TIRE

Does anybody have these in the size im getting? Also, ill be spending my riding time about 50%mud, 40%trails and about 10 or so in the occasional Ocala sand pit. Would these work good for my application? Remember they are going on a 750lb bike..

Wow we finally got them and rode today and OMG what a difference. We waited about 2 weeks and took them to tires plus and got them swapped out with the stockers and got home, bolted them on and realized that they were rubbing aginst the tie rod ends! SO another 2 weeks went by and finally got the wheel spacers and took a ride today. Wow I cannot begin to tell you the difference. My dad hit holes that we would have never dreamed of hitting stock becasuse the stock tire were terrible. NASCAR tires would have worked better then them. Anyway they are great. Heres a quick video of us messing around: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nb3pTdooDhQ .
