Tires and wheels are my delima. I have decided on some moose rims but the tires are the problem, so many different kinds out there for the Rhino. Most of my riding is in west virginia and NC. Red mud, creek sand, rocks, hills, and occasionally some swamp land. and of course the occasional run into town to pick up supplies so you have to ad some asphlt in there. I have looked at many tires and there are so many to chose from. I seen in a magazine that the STI Roctane was rated the best all round tire but the tread depth is under an Inch. Here is what I am looking for, A radial tire that has at least 1 inch of tread depth, has a rim guard, is under 28 lbs, and is 8 or 6 ply. The 2 I like most are the kenda bear claw HTR and the STI Black Diamond XTR but neither one says anything about a rim guard and that is important to me. Any suggestions?
