What difference in steering I may experience if I replace my stock 25" front tires with an identical 25" Titan 589?? /SP500/
What difference in a riding comfort I may feel.Riding: trails, often narrow, mud sometimes,no work.
Any idea????

J.C.

hey man, what kind of riding do you do? if you do alot mud riding get the 28inch vamps all around. then you can push out quads in 2 wheel drive here go to this site and look at more atvs

and then make your choice. I heard the titan 589's do rule but I would want to see them up close first.

Nice WebPage Kodiak. How long did it take to put it together? Wish I could do that. Looks great.

I think the 589s will make a big difference for the better! I have 25" bearclaws on my scrambler and I will be getting the 589s next. I had 26" Vampires on my Sportsman and they were way, way too heavy and they just dug deeper getting me stuck. The 589s look to be a much better choice for a replacement tire than most. Keeping the stock size is a smart choice when the only thing you need is a better biting tire. I think you made a good decision!

I just put the 589's on my Suzuki Quadrunner 500 a couple weeks ago. I went with the 27" tire. Since I live in Wisconsin I havent been able to try them in Mud yet. But the little driving around I have done (in snow) they turn fine! They do ride rougher than my factory 25" dunlops did, but I expected that. I wont really be able to test them till spring when the ground thaws and gets softer and some mud! But I sure like the 27", really picked up some nice ground clearance.

I paid $69.99 for the 27x11x12's and $64.99 for the 27x9x12's. I ordered mine from Rocky Mountain ATV. With shipping, I paid $325.00, which I didnt think was too bad for 4 tires.

The 589's are not in the current catalog. You need to call them up to get info. Or I seen in one of the latest ATV magazines, cant remember which, that in there 3-4 page ad, they are listed.
