you seen some of those ATV tire-shootouts in the magazines? Duro Tires
is consistently topping the charts, ranked dead-even or even leading
some of the big names in the business. Surprised? You shouldn’t
be. Duro might be a price-point tire, but it’s a performer. Duro
delivers a lot of bang for the buck.That shouldn’t be a surprise, either. Duro is celebrating its 60th year in the tire business, and over those decades they’ve learned a thing or two about making tires that work. As a major supplier to both industry and the recreational markets, Duro has developed top-rated tires for everything from light trucks to mobile homes, from forklifts to golf carts to go-karts, motorcycles and ATVs. And the Duro ATV lineup is huge. There are tires for Sport/Asphalt use, there are loose-terrain Knobbies, there are Mud & Sand tires and there are Duros that do it all. Savvy ATV riders are catching on to these tires fast. They’ve discovered that little money gets you a whole lot of tire here. The Duro Power Trails, for instance, really appeal to sport-oriented and recreational ATV riders. The Power Trails are those do-it-all tires. You can go trail riding in the morning and then race in the afternoon–on the same set of tires. The Duro Power Trails hold up well in all kinds of trail-riding situations, and the tread design works on the track and for fast sport riding, too. And these Duros are really stable in the corners. If you’re looking for a combination, do-it-all tire here it is, and the price is right. And there’s lots more. Duro has a staggering number of ATV tires available. There’s the brand-new Scorcher, for one, an ATV tire designed especially for running on asphalt. The Scorcher comes with big tread blocks for a big contact patch, and that’s combined with a solid center strip for acceleration. And the Duro Buffalos are a great choice for the Utility Quad market. The Buffalo’s multi-directional V-shaped tread delivers great performance, and these tires are available in both 4- and 6-ply construction. That 6-ply model deals up a higher load capacity where it’s needed along with enhanced protection against rips, tears and punctures. The Buffalo is a tire built for hard utility work, but it’ll also handle anything a recreational rider might encounter. You can work and play with one tire, and there are sizes to cover just about every need. The Buffalo’s available in everything from a 23 x 7 -10 clear up to a 28 x 10-12. Talk to your rep about all that Duro has to offer. And while you’re at it, ask about the handy catalog Duro has just put out, too. Not only does it list everything in the lineup with all the specifications, diameters, widths, tread patterns, tread depths and load ratings, there are recommended applications for all those tires, and the catalog will even help you fit the right size tire to the right size rim. That catalog is something you should definitely get your hands on–just like those Duro ATV tires themselves.  |
