Default Deciding tires, need help!!

Hi
Does anyone have any suggestions for what tires I should get for my scrambler500?
I ride mostly mud dirt gravel snow and do ride the road a lot so the tires can't be to aggressive.. I want the tires to be really good in snow to as I do a lot of snow riding. I have looked at bear claws, gators. I have swamp lites but I'm on my second pair in 3months. So I'm looking to try something different.

Any body got any suggestions??

I like the mud lite XTR for a good all around tire. I have mine on my quad since 2008 and still 50% tread

Yes, mud lite xtr is good for on road, snow and terrain. Other great choices to compare are Kenda Bear claw for light terrain and on road while GBC grim reaper is light for 8-ply radial but definitely with good traction, especially when plowing. Also see Carlisle Titan and Maxxis bighorn 2, here are good sites to compare them:

I have GBC Dirt Devils on my front and Carlisle AT489 on the back and both do really good in all those conditions.

Tire Direct has good choices and prices and free shipping. If you find cheaper you can call them and they'll match it. Home - Discount Tire Direct

How do you wear out two sets of tires in 3 months? Most ATV tires (any brand) even the cheap 2 ply OEM that come on a ATV from the show room last up to 1000 miles atleast let alone higher end 6ply Swamp lites.

You may need a wheel alignment maybe if your eating tires that fast.
