G'day
Do the Kenda bearclaws skid OK? My 85 argo 8x8 machine was bought second hand with knobby atv tyres and they don't skid very well. I'm looking for possible solutions without spending a fortune.
Thanks in advance

Hi Cyclone:
Judging by the above responses, save your dough, the bearclaws won't swim any better.

I've seen them on both a Max 4 and a Hustler. Both owners reported no swim ability for the tires at all. Both also said they were rough riding too.

When I bought my Hustler 980 Bigfoot it had 26x12x12 bear claw tires on it. I drove my Hustler into a pond by my house to see how well these tires would swim. As other forum members have now posted,,these tires don,t swim! I would,nt buy them for an amphib!

HI
Bear claw tyres
A friends argo 6x6 has bear claws fitted
positive
skid steer ok way way better than knobby tyres that were fitted
if they donot sterr enough u can reshape the odd side lug
Forward and rear traction good
Mud ok

Negative
swiming ability ,anything other than a still pond they r not good
eg way slower than walking
