Hello,
Today while I was adjusting the tire chains on the rear of my BX-23, I noticed a 4" split in the tread that ran across the face of the tire. Fortunately, it didn't impinge on the sidewall. Nevertheless, it looks like I have a tire failure pending and I decided to go ahead and obtain a couple of new rears tires. The size is presently 26x12-12 (4-ply rating) and I notice that there are a number of ATV tires available in this size and, in some cases, with an even greater ply rating. The selection of tread patterns is pretty impressive in "ATV tire world" and I was wondering if anybody had used ATV tires on their BX.
Actually, any suggestions for tire replacement would be welcome as I'm not familiar with what works best on a BX. My stock Ag tires, other than the split, have provided good service and I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to simply replacing them with the same thing. It's just the wider selection of ATV tires (and ply ratings) is kinda cool.
Thanks!
