Will they take away plowing and towing power becuase of making the gearing higher? Also are they good mudders and do they rob power?

 

Great mudding tires and they do not take away power. They are actually lighter then most stock tires.

As for the gearing on runnning larger tires, just change your sporket and you will have the taller tire with the same amount of gear ratio.

 

Do you mean sprocket there USMC? A Foreman 450 is shaft-drive[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I had them on a rancher FE and they were great. They did take some accel away, but barely noticable. The gain in the ability to walk through just about anything was more than worth any perf loss. You shouldnt have any perf loss with a foreman though, the larger engine makes much more low end than the rancher did. You should be fine for plowing, maybe even better. This is because the mudlites have excellent snow traction, better than 589 and similar tires because the mudlites are so light.
