I Like bud lite you can have those neck suckers I ain't into fetishes

My vote is for ITP's 589's

tunica... you just gave me an idea... i don't need no tires.. all i got to do is drink mo beer.. that sob will go anywhere then huh?

Big difference in tread depth and ride. Could go middle of the road with the Maxxis Mud Bug(1.2" tread). I have them and they work well without the excess mud thrown on you via the Vampire(2" tread). If I didn't care and wanted the baddest, go with the Vampire. May need a low range if you are hurting on power. I believe the Mud Lite is 7/8" tread and should be a great ride.

well no but if you drink enough you'll never know it and won't care either

i've got a set of 26" vamp on a rancher that is now almost unstoppable now.
it is really about an even playing field with the 589's and vamps.
give me tire sizes that you want and i might can help you out on a deal.
give me a shout. 870 761 2230
kev.

Plain Ol Super Swampers are hard to beat !

They just ain't the "IN THING", right now !

Rip Em !

what size bike are you using.. depends on if you got the power to pull those 589's or vamps... i've seen kodiak 500 have probs with 589's.. ya got grizz or rubicon you should be fine...

I have them on my Polaris 500. They are amazing in the mud. Pulled a heavy skid blind through some serious mud this year.... no problem at all. And they dont beat you to death on a road. I can't imagine anything that would be better.

Yeah, right.... what about those fuzzy slippers and that pink nightie you wear outside in the mornings to get the newspaper

The Mud Lites are a great all around tire. They ride smoother than the 589's. I have 27" Vampires and they ride okay now that I have broke 'em in. All 3 of these tires are good tires and you can't go wrong with any of them. The Mud Lites are the least expensive and lightest of all 3.

the Maxxis Mud Bug(1.2" tread). I have them and they work well without the excess mud thrown on you via the Vampire(2" tread).

The Mud Bugs will beat you to death on hard surfaces and you will get muddy with any tire if they stick out past your fenders.

This is true. If you have a 450cc or better you should be okay with just about any size without any other mods. Anything less than that I would only go one size larger than stock at best. In my opinion a 26" tire is the best all around size. You really are not losing much ground clearance (1/2") to make a big difference and the lug size are almost the same on most tires.

When I buy another set of tires it will be the Mud Lites.

I've got the outlaws on my Rancher and they are far superior to the 589's in the serious mud..They ride rough 'til you reach 7mph...
