Tire Poll

Funny this should come up......I have the stockers on my KQ and even though they seem okay to me, everyone says they suck, so I have been looking at others. I have always heard good things about MudLites, but they are pretty expensive, so I have been looking at others and what their tread patterns are like.
It seems that if you are looking for an extreme mud/muck/snow tire, look no further than the Mudzilla. But I question how well it trail rides. The Kenda Executioner looks extreme, too, but again......what about on-trail manners? The 589 tire seems to be in the same category.......
What would you run if you did a mix of mud, snow, off-trail, and trail riding? It seems that mud tires are just that......MUD tires.
What are you running and how do you like it?

for mud or snow, i love ITP 589's. good for studding for winter too. and wicked sized lugs. the carlisle ATC are IMO the best factory tire out there! for an average trail rider anyways it gives you the best of all worlds. 6 ply and a decent lug is hard to beat. yes the 589's are a little rough for hard dirt or pavement, but perfect for this time of year! as long as you dont rip too hard where you shouldnt!!
MUDLITE XTR on C7 rims, 27x9x14 on the front and 27x11x14 on the rear. I like the aggresiveness of the mudzilla but they are really heavy. The new xtr's are supposed to wear better than the older mudlites, and the radial gives you a wider footprint on the mud.

im going to try a new set of rubbers on my 06 grizzly 660... i was looking at gettin itp 589s or mud lite xtr's but i really didnt want to spend that much on a tire since we do a lot of road riding between the mud pits, so i went with the ams swamp fox plus's in 27x12's... they are similar to the mud lite xtrs imo but only cost me about 85 a tire or so before tax... ill let you know how they hold up and go in the mud and other conditions...

On my 800ltd I have 27"xtr's for trail and 28" Mudzilla's and 28" Outlaws
On my 650xt I have 27" Outlaw MST's and 27" Outlaws
By far the worst tire wear is the Xtr's but they are also the best riding tire too!!! So I guess you take the good with the bad. IMHO the Mst's are the best all around tire for wear and comfort/weight the only place they feel short is the mud but are still better than most in the mud for a all terrain tire.
My 2 cents, Cheers

ive got a couple friends that run the mud lit xtrs and they all like them, but i like having a little taller lug... im more of a fan of the 589 m/s but i didnt feel like spending 600+ on the tires. so i went with a cheap imitation of the 589's...

Bighorns! For mud, I like the AMS Swamp Fox.
I had them n my 400 also worked great until i put them on my 800 max and then they wore out fast i guess it was just too much power so i wouldn't recamend on a big bore

I just ordered a set of GBC Dirt Tamers on Vision Bruiser Black wheels from Devin at
Sled-Parts.com
so I will be submitting a review hopefully soon. I ordered the 25x8x12 front and 25x10x12 rear. They seem to have a similar tread pattern to the Bighorn and we'll see how they hold up to the rocky/rutted out Massachusetts State Forests soon.
