WESTERN STATES OFF ROAD

Since being in Idaho this summer, and wearing out a set of Big Horn 2's, I have ordered a set of DOT rated tires for the ride. Going to try the Tusk Terrabites 28x14 - 8 ply. Has anyone had a chance to run these? Only have found a couple of discussions and none of those long term or high miles.
Hope to have them in time to run in AZ the next few months, but hoping more that they will stand up a little better to the pavement. Any thoughts?

These are the same tires that I put on my commander. They work really well for me , but I don''t know if they will work on a Kawi Wink

Got tires put on today. Only drove about a 100 yards but will say I like 'em. Way smoother ride, seemed easier turning, quiet on the pavement. Did not have them spin balanced just to see what happens. Also picked up a skosh more ground clearance. And the Kawi will burn rubber with them....... Rolling Eyes
