I run 27" GBC Gators on my Polaris. They are good tires, similar to 589's but a little lighter and cost a few dollars less per tire. They have a deeper lug and I think they ride a little better, too.

I run 27x12x12 (rear) and 27x10x12 (front) Kenda Bear Claws on my 450 Foreman. They're good all around tires. They do real good in the mud and they're not so aggressive that they beat you to death on harder surfaces like some mud tires will. They're also very puncture resistant. Mine have held up really good with little wear. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I run titan 589's on my foreman and they ride great and hookup in the mud as well as most of the tires out there. (27x11x12 and27x9x12) If you want the best mud tire though the muddzilla is the way to go. But as for the all around tire goes titian 589's are hard to beat. There is a difference between the titan and the itp 589, lug size. I bought mine off ebay. they are blems but I have had no problems with them. Gave $250 and no shipping or tax..

ITP MUD LITES, they are a couple pounds lighter than most mud tires and pull really good. Less weight means less wear and tear on the machine. They also ride alot better on hard surfaces.

I have a 03 Rincon and I have 27"x10" on front and 27"x12" on the rear. I run Gators b/c of the tread, ride, and price. They are aggressive but this is the biggest tire to run on your bike without rubbing. The only differece I could tell is below 5 mph on pavement, but how long to you ride 2mph on pavement? You better use stock rims b/c they are offset and will not get as muddy as the aftermarket ones will. They will stick out about 2" farther.

Thanks for the info.I looked at the mudlite tires today and really

liked them.I've made up my mind and going with the 26-10-12 and 26-12-

12 on stock rims. The best price i've found is @ dmtaonline.com, all 4 for

$247 shipped.

I think you'll like the MUDLITES and that is a pretty good price too. I gave $240 for mine but knew a guy who knew a guy that got me a deal. Mine are only 25" because I have 11" rims on back and they don't make 26x12x11's. I run 15 psi during hunting season and that gives a little ground clearance.
