Just came home with a 23 brute 750. Absolutely awesome machine but the stock tires look junk to me. I knew that before I bought but what are you guys running for good 6 ply tires. Thinking of Kenda bear claws. Feel like the sidewall will tear on my first ride with the stocks

Nice. Congrats! Well believe it or not some people are getting pretty good millage out of those...and they don't do too bad. But you are right not to trust them as they are a 2-ply tire with a 4 ply rating. I got flats the very first day out. The bear Claw is a good tire. Lots out there these days.

Welcome to the forum! You're going to love the Brute Force. I usually replace the stock tires soon after purchasing a new machine, but I thought I'd run the stock Dunlops for as long as possible on my newest Brute. I ran them for over 1,000 miles and they still had tread left. I now have Kenda Bearclaw HTRs and like them a lot.

I got three seasons on my stock tires, and they actually did quite well for the type of work/riding I do. Wanted to go up in size so went with 26" Black Diamond Ocelot tires. So far they are wicked tires, but remember that just about any tire you get will be substantially heavier than the Dunlop's. I'm putting a spring kit in the clutches to make up for the extra weight.

Congrats on the new machine! I got 25 Bighorns on mine, they have been a very good all around tire as long as you don't drive in a lot of mud, that said I think my next tires will be Bear Claw HTR's.

Those are nice looking tires, like the wheels too. Those should work out good for you, 6 ply too I think? Those should give you a nicer ride then the 8 ply HTR's. After you get some miles on them let us know what you think.
