Dunlop Quad Max ATV Tires. All product used in this Field Test and Review have been provided courtesy of Dunlop ATV Tires.
We have mounted the all new Dunlop Quad Max ATV Tire on the Vision Wheel 160, and we will be installing them on the Kawasaki 650 Prairie project bike for evaluation. They have some really outstanding features that we will be commenting about as we proceed with the review.

My Impressions:
Pros:
Tires are a great OEM replacement tire if you plan on stepping up a level in performance and quality.
Handling characteristics are very predictable in all off road driving conditions.
Cons:
None yet.
Bottom line:
I would recommend this tire combination if you want to replace your OEM tires with a better performing tire then what you have now.
This tire is very predictable, light, and cleans very well after hitting the muddy portions of the trail.
High speed is no problem and the tire does not need any balancing.
In my opinion this is a very nice all around trail tire that will please many people that are looking for a tire that will get them places that they want to explore with their ATV's. In the same token this tire does not have the heavy rolling mass like most aggressive purpose built mud tires have, so it will make a great tire for the mid range powered quads.
