How do you get those big red shoes in the foot wells of a Rincon?

I don't think the Duro Grip tire is radial, and they run a bit short too. I have a friend that put them on a King Quad, the 25" tire measured 24 1/2" but they do run good.

I goofed, bad information. The Duro Power Grip IS RADIAL according to their web site. It was three years ago when my friend put them on his King Quad. Sorry about the mistake.

Oilcan, can you forgive me?

Huh? Are you wearing big red shoes too Grumpy? Everybody funny,,, you funny too...

MHO is, as long as you stay to 26 or less and nothing heavy like the 589's your good to go.... The bighorns are a great all purpose tire, while the mud lite style tire or "tractor" tire are better suited for soft stuff like mud and snow.... :-)

Is it for your rincon? And are you looking for more of a trail or mud tire or a mix?
