I've done my own tire swap before but it can be a real pia. Pull the valve stem out, set the tire/rim in front of your truck, lining it up so the drivers side front tire runs over the tire, forcing all the air out and it will pop the bead but sometimes it can take a couple of attempts at it. Now I just take them to the local tire shop and pay them $15 bucks a shot.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Thanks folks, our son read the comments here, and looked other places. He ordered the IPA tires, and mounted them last night. Same that I put on my Honda Foreman. They're great as far as I'm concerned. Same here,, reasonable too!

Maxxis, ITP, Kenda, and Titan are all brands that I have used and trust. What kind of riding does your son partake in, this will point us in the right direction for recommendations. I recently swapped my Mudlie XTR's out for a set of Maxxis Mud Bugs and could not be happier with their performance. These tires work well for mud. I rode in a lot of that in Alaska. Mostly bought ITP. But any of these are good for mud.

I know the OP's son made his choice, but for anybody else that might be looking, ITP TerraCross are a great all round tire. Definitely worth a hard look.

I run Carlyle or ITP on my 4 Wheeler and S X S, because they are made in USA.
However , I really like the above mentioned RP Talon - DOT - 12 ply- run flat for mixed use highway and trail. But, they are %(<#!)&^ chinese. They ain't cheap
and I can't find a USA equivalent.

I've run Swamp Foxes for years here in Utah. They've been great in mud, snow, loose dirt and gravel. I haven't tried them in soft sand.

It depends on where you like to ride. Where we go, rocks are the problem. We seldom get mud. I've been running these Sedona Ripsaws for a couple years and love them for rocks. The rubber blocks are close together to keep sharp rocks from getting through. There's also a lot of rubber to wear out.

Maxis Bighorns, not Bighorn II. They are a little more money but well worth it for the 6 ply construction and the smooth ride on hard packed trails.

These tires are tough and work well on hard terrain like the Maxxis Ceros or AMS Radial Pro. Be aware of the extra tire weight, a blown belt on a remote hunt is no fun to replace.
