Seeing i have the swamplites and like them I am really interested in the new Reptile Radials. Any chance one of the testers can get there hands on a set of these and do a test? I would love to see how they perform.

Looks like a great tire. Would be interested in seeing a review. Looks as though it will be a decent mud tire and it will also be a great high speed tire.

They do look like an insteresting tread pattern.

My brother bought a set for his Can-Am 800XT (?) 2-up bike. Had them about a month & he REALLY likes them. :cheer:

However, they run small, so the 26's he bought are closer to 25 inches tall ... he wasn't to pleased about that. rotest:

FWIW, most of the tires produced today hold very true to that standard.

I would need some real photos of these tires to pursue them. I'm not attracted to them from the ONE picture available online. I would, however, like some Grim Reapers from GBC.

Now that's what I'm talkin about! Now see, weren't those much easier on the eyes! I do like them after all....thanks Gunny.

:beer"

 

[Gunny]

Yeah, the "Factory" picture does NOT do them justice. Just remember, they run small, height wise.

He wanted 26's, bought that advertized size & they are more like 25's. Now he wishes he had bought the 27's. Oh well .... :sad11:

This web site even states they are shorter ..... except maybe for the 25's ?? By the way, this isn't were he bought his.

OK, can somebody tell me why you would publish a size, and then publish what the size actually is. That is just ridiculous. HELLO!

I agree, but perhaps there is some reason this happens?

CRAP !!! ... I had a reply all typed up & our server crashed .... damn place !

Ok, this is kinda what I wrote ....

I've read someplace, that tire sizes are actually measured from inside the tire mold ?? .... and I have no idea if this is true or not.

And maybe a dealer decided to tell his customers what the tires actual size is instead of listening to them scream at him later that he sold them mismarked tires ??

But I blame the tire manufactures for false advertizing ... but they get away with it ....

And, I have the wife convinced, this much "=====" ..... is actually, this much "===========" ccasion14:

WHAT ?? :hello:

I agree Gunny, it is false advertising. I just wonder why someone, with so much at stake, would advertise this way? I have a lot of strong opinions, but I'll let them fly for now.

Part of the problem is ..... all tire makers do the same thing ..... so it's the consumer that pays ..... rotest:

I'd like to hear how they wear. The swamplites wear fast from what I've seen.

 

[Gunny]

I think chubbz95 will report that they wear great. My younger Bro has some on his Can-Am 2-up, so he's haul'in a lot of weight all the time. He's been in rocks, some mud, snow, hard pack & on some asphalt ... he has about 600 or 800 miles on them so far & they still look almost new. :beer"

Next time I see him, I'll try to get a mesurement fo both of ya. :cheer:

chubbz95 ... if you do get some, remember, they run small. If you want a 25 inch tire, you'll need to buy the 26 inch Repitle. ccasion14:

A fellow worker just bought a set ... the bast%$# ... and he's had them out in some snow & on hard pack & he says he's very pleased with. He also says they ride way nice. :cheer:
