OK so I have now cut through 2 front tires. In fairness the shale rocks are real sharp and when it is muddy I sink quick. Still is there anything out there better then the Carlisle R4 tires. They only have 4 ply sides and fail quick. Day to day it is no problem but when muddy I kill a tire every time.

I just read a thread on tire and wheel from the dealer around $70. Not as bad as $100 each just for a tire but still I would like a stronger sidewall.

If you have lots of shale, maybe get a price on solid foam fill.

Local dealer got back with me. Pricing on wheel and tire Whole Good Catalog part number ABXR8717 the R4 front tire is $98. One dealer wanted another $35 each for shipping too. So depending on who is selling them it can vary on how good of a deal buying rim and tire. My cost for this last tire only was $100 at local tire shop in small town Missouri.

Wolfman, did you foam fill your tires yourself or did you have it done? If you can provide information on what product to use it would be helpful.
