Here is a little info on the Essex Sure Foot.

For the best off-road performance in mud, snow and rocks choose the 25" or 27" Essex SureFoot. Based on the proven 589MT tread pattern, this 6ply tire has been specially designed and tested for today's heavy ATV and Utility Vehicles. Featuring run flat performance with bullet-proof Kevlar puncture protection, 1190 lb load rating (1115lb for the 25"), reinforced sidewalls for safe traversing and 1 1/8" lugs that eat up any terrain yet run fairly smooth on hard surfaces.


I have personally used these tires in the past with great success! We are looking forward to the opportunity to do a review on these.

This is a company that is often overlooked in the ATV community. Check them out at: http://www.essexmfg.com/

The looks of that tire alone is wicked. Looking forward to the review.

Looks just like my 589's to me.

I see slight differences...like the ribs between lugs. Tread appears deeper, but pictures can be decieving.

 

[Koko]

Tread pattern is similar. Tire construction is entirely different.

Yep, Koko is exactly right . They are based on the 589 tread pattern, but on the inside it's a whole other tire. Tough rubber, puncture resistance, reinforced sidewalls, Kevlar belting, and a load rating of 1190 pounds (on 27's).

You guys have no idea how durable these tires are. I will be posting some pictures very soon. Hopefully this will give you a good idea.

:blob10: Bring em on....I'm anxious to see more of em!!

Here are some quick picture I took outside while the lighting was good.



As you notice me standing on them thats 180 lbs of weight and they flex very little.

 

[BATTLEGUN]

Nice balancing act there GW :toothy10:

I don't think I've ever seen such tread meat on a 25" tire before??? Man that is insane. That is a good seller for those who don't want size but need the traction. I can think of a few farmers who may be interested in this application if they are puncture resistant.

 

[formguy]

That is impressive! How do they compare $$ wise?

[GRIZZLYWIZARD]

They are very comparable in price to a tire in the "Radial" class. Which to me, based on the tire characteristics is a very fair price.

I can't wait for the review. At over 3k miles my mudlites are in need of replacement. Those could be next!

The 25" and the 27" have the more aggressive tread pattern. The 26" is a treat pattern that commonly would be found on stock machines.

 

[formguy]

I'll still check the review, but I prefer 26" tires. I don't think the Rinnie would turn 27s too well. 25" tires are a little short for the rocks around here.

The Rinnie should turn them fine. I had a set of 27" tires on my Rubicon. It made that machine struggle some on steep hills. But the Grizzly handled those tires with ease. I know what you are saying about the 25" being too short. I would have to agree! Oh well this will give the Ricochet skids a workout!

I do a lot of snow riding and even the 26" mudlite xls seem to tax the Honda in the deeper stuff. A Rincon is not in Griz-Brute HP territory. Let's not even discuss trying to keep up with my buddies Renegade.

Yeah I guess I forgot about the snow thing. Do you have any performance mods to the Rincon. We did some mods to Turtles like jets, filter and exhaust. And it really woke up. The EHS racing air box cover was another huge improvement.
