Which tires would lighten the steering best on a AC 500A? I'm looking at the GBC Gator and the Dirt Devil XT in 28x10 and 28x12. Are either of these tires more round? I believe the rounder the tire, the better the steering...is that right? Also would moving the winch to the back help at all? How do these tires compare? I would expect the Gator to be better in the mud while the Devil is better overall.

That was my thought on the dirt devils,awesome!I just installed them on my sons quadrunner 250 in place of the superswampers and have yet to even shift to 4wd.Went through areas previously had to be in 4wd with no problem.The devils are better riding and seems to be taller and more rounded.Have not seen any gators,so I can't say about them.But the swampers are overrated and always under-inflated.{because there was always a hole in them that had to be plugged after riding}

gators are wicked in mud but would make steering harder but more precise as they would grip better. personaly i would get high lifter outlaws
