My experience with the Frontier tires was less positive and more negative. My 2008 Frontier came with the "New" designed tires and I ended up swapping them out for 25inch Rawhide III.

In the water there was no comparison, the Frontier tires where fast and had great turning control and when you blasted the throttle the front end lifted out of the water like a boat.

In the mud I found the Rawhide III better to get me out of the thick stuff and floated across the surface better in the cat tails and bull rushes.

The ride of the Frontier tires on hard or rutted trail was like driving a car with no shocks. They would shoot out of a pothole or rutt ok but continue to bounce compromising control. I tried every imaginable air pressure and even had a chance to put them on an Avenger and had the same result.

In the first 20 hours of drive time in fairly tame conditions I had 2 of the tires break a bead. They did air up easily and showed no damage but I have now ran 130 hours with the Rawhide III with only one such incident and it was at speed in a tractor rutt.

I found, and so did a rider with 1000+ hours driving Argos, the Frontier tires do not live up to the hipe.

It took only 5 minutes into a test ride after swapping out the Frontier tires for the Rawhide III to call the dealer and trade my Frontier tires for the Rawhide III's.

I hope this helps!
