If you doubt your backyard abilities with a pair of tire irons, your dealer should be able to slap these babies on your OEM wheels or, if you want to run the Silverbacks only in mud but swap back to a more general purpose tire afterward, install them onto another set of rims for a few bucks. Mount up was only slightly more difficult than a standard all-purpose tire swap thanks to that chunky tread mentioned above, which actually stiffens up the sidewalls even on down to the bead. In our case the 27 x 10 x 12 size was chosen (which just so happens to be the cheapest and smallest of the Silverback line) meaning our tread depth measured up at 1.5 inches. The Silverback is available in a variety of sizes from 27” on up to 32 with varying tread depth in accordance with the tire diameter: 27″ – 1.5″ 28″ – 1.75″ 30″ – 2″ 32″ – 2.5″. We slapped a brand new set on our Can-Am Outlander 650 and headed straight to the nastiest mud pit we could find to do a little playing er testing as it were. Enter the Silverback the company’s first foray into the rough and tumble mud-specific tire arena. It is also these kinds of riders that Gorilla Axle has made a name for itself in catering to with a full line of heavy-duty suspension and drive train components. It’s these riders who seek tires with more meat than an average butcher’s shop, air intakes with snorkels that could make a skin-diver envious and suspension numbers that might seem more at home on a monster truck than on a quad! While there are riders out there who do their best to avoid puddles and occasional slop as they traverse their favorite trails, there are an equal number of individuals who deliberately seek out the nastiest, soupiest, muddiest pits the world has to offer to test their ATV’s prowess.
