Great tires for the money. They clean out well grip hard pack and rocks well and have a variety of sizes to fit your needs. I have run these tires on golf carts, 4 wheelers and side by sides. These tires will be all i run as long as they make them

My Bearclaw tires are great. I have a pair on my RTV where I own and operate Karedon Farm Equestrian Center in Ayden, NC. The handle great dry threw out the crushed rock road I have on the farm. They do great in the rain and wind where 90% of the farm is grass, they do not eat tracks in the grass even where there is standing water. I ride my RTV everywhere on the farm and to local crop fields where I have crops and the hard service road traction is great. Although they are nobi kinda tires, I feel no bumping or hear any noise from the Bearclaws. No signs of wear yet with having them on my RTV since April, I believe and I am not anticipating any issues with them this coming winter. I am planning to replace my front tires with Bearclaws also and I sure want those on the front. I am thinking of putting a set on my farm all Nisan truck that I use to bull crop trailers on the farm.

I installed these on a 2016 yamaha wolverine rspec. They perform so much better than the stock bighorn knockoffs. The ride is actually better with these even though they are a stiffer sideall and more aggressive tread. Likely this is due to the radial design. They are also quieter on the road. The side tread knobs act kind of like fingers when you get into large rocks and hill climbs full of roots. You can feel them catching and holding those edges to create traction. Ive also used them in west virginia during a large snowstorm and they performed flawlessly in the heavy wet snow. Overall very happy with the purchase and highly recommend. One drawback is if you like to spin the tires and do doughnuts in the yard they pretty much destroy the grass but are not bad of you arent intentionally spinning them.

Hello i ordered a full set of kenda bearclaw HTR tires. They keep getting flats. The rear has a plug in it from the first ride around mile 34. Thought must be a fluke. Now after doing some yard work last night i came home today to find one if the front tires is now flat. I had my factory tires for 980 miles cheap 4 ply Wanda polaris factory, china tires, never had to add air once. I have less then 50 miles on these and they are just a horrible tire. At hightr speeds they wobble like they need to be balanced ? They are HEAVY, I put them on a Polaris Ace 900sp, expecting to feel a little power loss, There was however a very noticeable difference in its "GET UP AND GO". I wish I picked a diffrent tire. hope this helps.
