Walmart has Carlisle Turf-Saver II tires for $20 each. 15X6.00-6 Great tires for both on and off road. They look a bit square before you put them on but they round out when you install them and put air it. They are a bit taller than the stock tires but clear everything.

What kind of tread life do you get from them (on mostly paved surface riding)?
I recently replaced the rear tire on our DB30 ("Dirt Bug") with this tire from Tractor Supply:
Knobby ATV Tire, AT 145 70 - 6, 2 Ply - 0303440 | Tractor Supply Company
It's slightly narrower than the OEM knobby that came on the doodlebug. The rubber seems to be harder than that of the original tire and shows no wear as of yet (The side tread wore quickly on the OEM tire from riding on asphalt).

Try these tires. The ones I've bought are still in great shape. Riding on concrete/asphalt they work great but not much traction on dirt/grass/sand
4 ply they can handle some weight...........specs say 570 lbs @ 30 psi
other members bought them too

To be honest with you. I dont really know. 2 of my buddy's put them on there DB's but they roast there tires alot. :doah: I just put the tire in the pic on my wife's DB so will see. They are a harder compound than the stock tire so Im sure, as long as you dont roast the tire, they will last quite a bit longer than stock. Also only $20 so you can buy 2 to the one the cjtmini just posted and you dont have to wait on shipping.
My thoughts on the Tractor Supply tire are that they should last quite a bit longer then the stock tire. My son burned up the stock rear tire in about two months after getting his DB30. Then I put on one of the TS tires, and he's got about 4 months riding time on it and it still has a little more then half the tread left. Still running the stock front tire though...
