Kenda Bearclaw EX 25x10-11 Rear ATV UTV Tires - Durable Traction

In this review the Kenda Bearclaw EX 25x10-11 rear tires are evaluated for riders who need a durable, aggressive tire for mixed terrain on ATV, UTV, and SxS machines. The bottom line: these tires are best for riders who prioritize traction and long life over lightweight handling. The review finds the ramp-edge center knobs and beefy 6-ply casing deliver consistent grip in sand and loose surfaces, while the low 7 PSI rating improves shock absorption; but mounting can be stiff for some users.

Key Features

• Aggressive Tread Design: Ramp-edge center knobs and a rugged pattern provide improved traction across mixed terrain while keeping rolling resistance in check.
• Rim Saver Technology: Built-in rim protection helps prevent wheel damage from rocks and ruts, extending the life of both tire and rim during rough use.
• 6-Ply Rated Construction: An extra-tough casing offers superior puncture resistance and durability for extended off-road use in harsh conditions.
• Optimized Dimensions: The 25x10-11 size with a 25 in overall diameter and 10 in section width gives a balanced fit for many rear ATV and UTV applications.
• Low PSI Rating: A 7 PSI low-pressure rating allows better grip and shock absorption on uneven terrain for a more controlled ride.

Who It's For

The Bearclaw EX tires are aimed at ATV and UTV owners who ride varied trails, sand washes, and rough terrain and need a tire that balances traction with durability. Riders who value a rugged tread and rim protection for frequent off-road use will appreciate the 6-ply construction and rim saver feature.

These are less suitable for riders who want the lightest, easiest-to-mount tire or who primarily ride on hard-packed, paved surfaces where a softer, smoother tire would be preferable. Also, if easy home mounting is a priority, consider pro mounting options or a different model.
