what kind of riding are you planning on doing? That make a huge difference as to what tires to get.

28x12x12 zillas all around! you can get them for $90 each and you can clear them with the stock rims. they will rub the lower a-arm, but you can spin them fine with just adding shims to the clutch for about $2 at your local hardware store.

eh i'm not a fan of zillas and they are not as aggressive as the ones i have listed up there either (well maybe as aggressive as the bearclaws but i dont think i will get them anyway) and i dont really want to go 28.. maybe 26 Smile

I've had good luck with my executioners. for how big the lugs are they hardly vibrate. the only downside for me is when towing around the yard they REALLY like to dig! They also have an amazing rim guard that overlaps the rim by about a 1/4"

@bigbear4x4... i really like the executioners they seem tough and aggressive i think it will be between those and the swamplites. Smile

I recommend mud bugs. they work great in the conditions you mentioned

I'm with Homersimpson ... I like the Mud Bugs .... However, my younger bro bought some Interco Reptiles, which are a radial. Man, they are a good look'in all-around tire.

They have about 1 inch of tread. He has them on a 2-up 800 Can-Am, with about 600 miles on them. He's used them in all types of terrain & they are barely show'in any wear.

They do run small however ... a 27 inch one runs about 26 inches. And a 26 inch ones run about 25 inches. (He sold the 26's to his boy & bought the 27's just last week Yellow-biggrin

)

Bear claws are a gay looking tires, Gators are similar to mudbugs , much better tires. My wife's 350 bruin on 27's goes pretty good.

I'm with Gunnys bro I've been reading alot of good things about the Reptile. Like he said 26"= 25" and 27"=26" I'm looking at these tires for an all around tire. Where did he get them?

I'm think'in of sell'in my 589's & get a set of the Reptiles myself Yellow-biggrin

He bought his from ATV Outfitters. Best prices we found so far. And real quick delivery for where we live.

I think it was $411 for four tires, delivered. Then he had them mounted on his rims when they showed up.
