Hey there..I am considering at buying up a used set of tire / wheel combo for my 06 700 twin. I currently run a 14 inch Polaris aluminum wheel and Kenda 26 inch radial tire combo, but would like to try a set in a 12 inch wheel and 26 or 27 inch Swamplite tire or what have you for a tire. Anybody out in western Canada looking at selling anything like this ? (This will keep shipping costs down for weight). If I like them,I will sell my 14 inch set up. I have a photo in my avatar along with a few pictures I have posted in the past.
here is the link from Polaris on the set up i currently run :

Keep in mind that the Swamplites wear really fast. Even faster if you ride any pavement. On a Polaris (heavy bike) that will compound the problem. Had a friend that put them on a Rhino and didn't get but about 400 miles out of them.
I hear they are a good snow tire, but as for trails and mud, they are pretty far down the list on how good they go.

Best "all around" tire ever made in my opinion. I've ran a lot of different tires and these would win any competitions hands down against any other general purpose tire if you ask me.
