Swamplites ar 6 ply. non radial the reptiles are 6 ply radials, have run swamplites before and they are good tires. have not tried the reptiles.

 

Yup, how did the swamplites ride on road?

 

I had them on a Brute Force 750 with I T P 14 inch SS106 wheels 27-9-14 and 27-11-14 tire size.Drove and rode good i thought. Was in KY riding with some of the Harlan county ridge runners and one of them had a RZR and liked the tires and his wife bought him a set of 14 inch wheels and same size tires that i had and he loved them.He was impressed with the way they rode and handled,gonna put them on mine when the Terracrosses wear out the same size as what i had on the Brute.ATV Outfitters has some of the best prices i have seen on tires on the net.:ride:

 

Anyone with an opinion on the Reptile Radials?

I ended up getting the Swamp Lites and they look like a pretty sweet tire. Have not used them yet. The benifit to the Reptile Radials is that they are a radial tire. I figured I was going to offroad 95% of the time so the ride of a radial was not needed.

 

I am considering the ITP Black Diamond or Reptiles. I prefer radials, not only for ride quality, but they seem to hook better in everything except mud.
I hope you like the Swamp Lites.

 

I have 28" swamp lites on mine know and really like em. I can rock crawl with them and they are great in the mud as well.

 

27" swamplites here too.. great tire lots of grip on anything even snow. great at high speeds also but they will throw rocks.

 

had the reptiles on my sportsman in 26's loved them pulled me through or up anything. i now have rzr wuth lites and took my first ride yesterday and pretty impressed but dont like the rough ride on hard surface or road but performed excellent on the big creek rock we were climbing over

 

I also had the swamp lite 26'' x 12 on my RZR for about 4000 km and here is my impression of them.

They are great tires in cool/warm weather, in mud and hard pack trails but not so good in cold/very cold weather, heavy snow and are a bit noisy and bumpy on asphalt. I found that the big and spread out knoby treads do not have the ''paddle'' effect that pushes the somewhat loose snow behind you so you spin alot. They are also very stiff tire (bias 6 ply rated) and because my RZR with walker evans shocks is very stiff to begin with, i had quite a bit of a hard ride but i guess because of that i only had to repair one small slow leaks over the 4000 km i owned them while my friend had many many times flats tires. I also find the tires to wear a bit fast so as soon as the rubber worn down enough to get rid of all the little holes in the spikes (around 2000km), i had studs put in them and that stopped the wear a that point. One more thing i noticed is because the spikes are so high, they are prone to actually cut off and almost tear off if the tires happens to spin on hard rock while the tread is frozen and last thing, only when it is very cold and the rzr sits outside for lets say the whole night and because the tires only have 10 psi in them, when you start rolling, you have that bumpy out of round ride for a very long time before it evens out.

Like i said, very good and very though tire in warm weather but best to have a different set in a cold one.
