Default New Progressive Springs or New ATR's?? Decisions, Decisions!!!

I am looking for some input on new springs or new tires. I know from all the posts that either one will help the front end dive/push that I currently experience.

Specifically, what kind of performance change can I expect from changing out the springs while keeping the stock tires?

Is it worth the cost for the springs or should I save a little more money and just upgrade the tires to ATR's?

My stock tires are in good shape and have generally held up well except for cornering situations.

I have the ATR's and I dont feel that I need the springs now. If you do only get the springs, the stock tires will still fold over with you.

Stock tires are terrible. My "summer tires" will be ATR on C-series rims.

I bet those ATR's are nice. What about all tracks? A guy posted some time ago and said that he rode with a group of 650's and one had ATR's and another had All tracks. He said the All tracks beat the ATR in every category (handling, traction). I thought that is what he said.

Anybody wanna deny or confirm?

Confirmed nyroc, I will be selling the ATR,s as soon as the new All Traks get here. We rode again this weekend and the other 650s and even the Rincons that had the All Traks were handling better than those of us who had the ATRs. I think if I had never rode it with the All Traks first I would keep the ATRs but I personally like the All Traks better. The All Traks are alot cheaper too.

That is interesting about the All-Tracs. I know that Mike Penland runs them in his GNCC racing. I have been considering them also. Just need a little more feedback on them.
