Default Need advise on new tire selection

Hello all! This weekend I went to an atv park for the 1st time and realized I need some aftermarket tires. Currently I have a 2005 Polaris Sportsman 400 4x4 with the factory tires on it. They are in great condition, however, not suitable for mud etc. I would like to put on 26inchers to get a little more ground clearance. Will the 26ers rob a lot of power from the 400cc's. Can any of you tell me what tire you prefer when playing in the mud and water. Of course I have looked and can't make up my mind on what I want/need. Thanks

You will get alot of opinions on this subject, my personal opinion would be Swamplites. They are a great all terrain tire, they have proven themselves in the mud,rocks, and hardpack. Im excited to get them in the snow. You can look at my pics to see the tires

Yeah!! Get either the swamplites or the itp 589s. These two tires seem to be the best in my and others opinion, and they have proven their werthiness to me many a time in all conditions
