Hi Scott,

Although I don't have a list of all the different tires that will fit your Argo, I can suggest a set of Goodyear Rawhide III's. The 25 inchers come stock on the Bigfoot model and speaking from experience with owning one, they are really mean and aggressive, not to mention durable (You won't believe what i run over ;-)). You won't be able to fit 25's onto your 8x8, but the 22's will fit, just make sure before you make any decision with any tire. You will also need a fair bit of power to move them. They never made an '85 conquest. They came out in 1993... so I am assuming you have an Argo Magnum or 8 I/C? Lemme know. Hope that helped.

Best regards,

John

hey scott:

check http://cawoodtire.com/

they shows altmost "every flavor" on atv tires..i install on my max ll the ipt blackwater 22" x 12.50"x ....this is a 4 ply rating very hard compound tire that loves to be punished on rocky terrain and on muddy too!!!....hope that you find a good choice so you can bounce back on new rubber!!

Scott,

As long as you have an argo that DOES NOT use a Tecumseh engine then you are good to go. I had one, they are utter junk (the engine, not the argo), as anyone.

You should have enough power in that Kohler to run the Rawhide 22's. Be careful if you decide to go for regular ATV tires as you can kill yourself. ATV tires weren't designed for skid steer operation and dig into the terrain. If you take a corner fast, odds are you will flip. The Goodyear Rawhides and Runamucks are skid steer tires, and all I can recommend. Keep in mind I am no expert, just experienced.

You might try to get them direct from ODG (may be expensive), a local dealer or try direct from Goodyear.

Best regards,

John

PS You may need adaptors to fit the Rawhides onto your axels because I think they have larger lugs than the Runamucks. In any case, good luck and check with a dealer to be 100% sure.

will the vampires fit on my argo??? Also are they skid steer?

By jsaylors on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Scott, yes or no dependinding upon which argo you have. If you have a bigfoot then yes. The 25" vamps will work great. For any other model then no. I have a conquest and wanted vampires for it but had to settle for the regular superswamper tires which I highly recommend. I do have vampires on my polaris quad. All I can say is WOW! what a set of tires. I think the regular superswampers give better water propulsion than the vamps would. Also the vamps are a VERY stiff sidewall tire (they will run flat with holes cut in the tire carcass). The ride would be bone jarring rough in an argo. It's bad enough with the swampers. By the way, no they aren't skid steer tires. The lateral bite is very agressive and the side wall too stiff to be considered a skid steer tire.

Need tire info. I have an argo 8 I/C model, with stock 20 11.00 x 8 runamucks. I tried to get a replacements but the dealer says they don't have this tire size anymore. Does anyone know for sure if a 22 11.00 x 8 will work, there does not seem to be a lot of room between the tires. Thanks to anyone who can help.

By Daniel Saylor on Unrecorded Date: Edit

Will the IPT BLACKWATER 22X12.5-8 tires fit on a 2001 ARGO CONQUEST with the factory rims? My dealer says they will not but I think I have read on this page that they will. Are they good?
Please help!
Thanks,
Daniel Saylor

I did not proof read the last post before sending it off. I was going through the photo Gallery and seen ITP Blackwater tires on an Argo. The photo was from J Martin, has any one tried these tires or herd of how they perform on an Argo.

Isaac Eiseman post 45-30-01 if you are monitoring the board. I am interested in knowing how the 12.5 wide tires performed on the Max II? Was there a clearance problem between the sidewall and the tub? Did you have problems with debris packing up bewteen the tire and tub? 12.5 wide sounds great and I think the floatation would be great, just have these concerns.

jsaylors post 5-2-01 if you are monitoring the board. How did the Super Swampers perform in mud, snow, water? Would you recommend and why?
