I've decided to buy a Foreman 450 S (haven't ruled out the ES) Would you go with the Outlaw or the ITP 589 M/S. I mostly trail and rock climb and mud about 25% of the time. I like the looks of the 589 from what I can see on the Internet, but they don't look too aggresive. Will the tread life wear better on the 589 vs the Outlaw? How do you like Nebraska Tires blems or overstocks? They have them for $45.

 

The 589's are very aggressive,,the outlaws weigh a ton...If I had to pick between the two I would still go with the 589's

 

It seems like there's alot of atv's in the magazines with the Outlaws. Between these two, I'd go with the 589. It seems like the 589's have a little more tread in the center of the tire which might make a longer life span. I guess it all depends on where and how much you ride.

 

I have the ES with ITP 589MS tires. They both work great.

 

From the riding you do it sounds like the ITP 589's would perform better. The Outlaws are definitely heavier.

I wound up buying the Rincon and the Ohtsu are good for now. The dealer told me that the ITP 589 will go through your bearings FAST and give you a PREMATURE ATV life. He recommended the Mudlite tires due too less wear and tear.

 

The real stress on the drivetrain is from over size tires.

After the dealer told you that 589s stress the drive train, did he sell you the Mudlites stock or over-size???
