Default Stock Tires on this trail? (Videos)

I made these videos last summer before I bought my bike. I mounted my Helmet Cam on the front bumper of my Can-AM Renegade 800. Do you think the stock tires will be able to handle it? My riding buddies made it fine but they both had pure dirt tires. I am thinking about getting some MT-21's

This is why I don't ride alone.

the stock tires should not have a problem handling it. I ride Pachaug here on the East Coast, which has some really snotty trails, rocks, roots and leaves. I am too cheap to put on new tires until these are worn out (soon!!). i seem to fall more than everybody else, but I don't think I can blame it on the tires every time :-)

i have ridden another KLX that has a pirelli offroad tire on it, and am looking forward to having a better offroad tire though.

Should be ok with stocks. I've ridden some trails that I never thought I would be able to make it through with stock tires and everything worked out fine. They're not a great tire in the woods by any stretch of the imagination but stay out of really deep mud or sand and you'll be fine.

In the Spring I might get a set of Michelin Cross AC10. They look like a decent off road tire that is DOT approved. $59 at Denis Kirk. I had TrakMaster II's and they didn’t fair very well on the street. I ride mostly on the street but when I do ride trails it is not your ordinary "Dirt Road" trail. Anyone have experience with the Cross AC10's?
