I'm running 27 inch GBC Spartacus radials. They're 8 ply and I've been pretty happy with them in pretty much every condition. If you're gonna run then at high speed I'd recommend having them balanced. It really helps them run smoother.

I've been seeing a few reviews on the carlisle blackrock. They're supposed to be a new and improved/better performing tire than their ACT which are already a pretty good all around radial tire. From what I've seen so far they only come in a 12" rim but are supposedly coming out with the 14 sometime in the near future if they haven't already..

I put radial outlaws on my 850 xp and love them. On the wife's 550 I put itp mudlite xtr radials. I thought the radial laws were made in the usa but could be wrong. Not sure at all about the itp's.

might also be helpful to know what type of terrain you ride mostly.

Pitbull Rockers or Growlers. Made in USA!!! Some of the best atv tires out there. You do pay a premium price for them, but you get what you pay for.
