I am picking up my wifes new XMR tomorrow morning. While I was talking to the parts guy I asked about a more hybrid type of tire as she likes to trail ride just a little more than mud. He suggested four 28x11.50 ITP Blackwater on STI rims. The price is $1050 plus tax so about $1155 OTD.
My questions:
1) How do the stock tires perform all around riding? Will they be ok for trail as well as the soft stuff? My wife is 47 so she isn't as tough as she thinks she is, used to be, whatever…
2) How good are the Blackwater tires? How good are the rims? Is there a better choice?
3) How does the price sound?
4) What do I do with the old (new) tires?
First post, looking forward to learning a lot, thanks!
