Mudbugs or Bounty Hunters for Suzuki Eiger?

Hello All,
I own a 2006 Suzuki Eiger that is currently equipped with the stock Dunlap tires. I have not been pleased at all with the stock tires as it seems they are really lacking in the traction department. I don't ride in a whole lot of mud, but I do want a tire that can handle anything I throw at it.

I've narrowed my choices down to either the Maxxis Mud Bugs or the Kenda Bounty Hunders. The Bounty Hunters are radials while the Mud Bugs are offered in either variant. I'm not real sure of the differences between a standard and radial tire so I'm not sure if this should play in my decision making process. I also don't want to rob any power from my Eiger so I'm not looking to go up in size from the stock size. I want the best all-around tire I can buy.

I am considering adding an exhaust system (if I can find one that is not too loud) and adding a UNI air filter. Should I also consider some aftermarket rims that are lighter than the stock steel wheels while I'm at it?

Your input is appreciated.

Thank You,

Trent

I say go with the radials, although I don't know much about the Bounty Hunter. The radial give you more of a footprint on the ground, and more sidewall stability giving you much better handling. If you have had the stockers on this long, I know you don't do much mud. So the radials for sure.

I'd go with the Mud Bug Radials.

mud bugs i run the non-radials on my big bear 400. they've been awesome so far.

I run the mudbugs on my bike and I love them.

I run the Mud Bugs on my Rancher and they have done real well so far.

I really like the Duro Power Grips on my Rhino. 6 Ply Radial for $71.00 per tire to your house. That is for a 25/10/12. 25/8/12 is $67.00. Only problem is they only come in 25".
