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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
formguy
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.
formguy
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.

OK after yesterday I thought I would give you guys and gals a little teaser of the Essex Surefoot tire. This tire is absolutely awesome. Essex Manufacturing has take ATV tire manufacturing to a new level in extreme terrain durability. These have superior traction in all types of terrain we tested them in.



My only complaint is the tire height. 25" tires seem to be just a little short for the style of terrain I frequently travel on. Notice the big dent in my Ricochet skid plate? Boy that sure did hurt!

Yes, these are excellent tires. I can't comment on how they do in on ice, but I would imagine your comment is accurate.

BTW, welcome to the site slasher! :beer"
