I'm looking for the best tires and rims for the following:

AC 650 4x4
Lots of logs/stumps/etc
Some rock
Moderate mud
Snow plowing for a 300 yard driveway

So far, it sounds like itp589's w/ c-5 series rims? I've thought about the Gators or Dirt Devil's as well? For rims, it seems like ITP is almost the only major player?

thanks!

 

I'm looking for similar info for a 500i Auto 4x4 .

I think I've decided on the ITP 589's and the C-5 rims. The tires with the C-6 package aren't much more but, I'll stick with the C-5's for now.

Here is a good picture of that tire and wheel combo --> ITP589's on C5

I found 4 tires and wheel combo 26" $615 + $50 for chrome lugs and center caps. I guess that is a good price... someone tell me if it sounds high,

 

If mud isn't a big concern I would go with the ATR's. They are awsome snow tires, even on the hard pack and icy stuff. I have run Gators and Mud Lites, they are both far better in the mud but the hard snow they don't come close to the ATR's. For plowing I doubt there is a better tire to run, they grip and climb up logs and rocks great, and they are OK in the mud as long as it isn't too thick. As far as rims I run delta steel wheel from ITP. They dont look as good but are way cheaper to replace when a rock eats one.

It's about $20 cheaper plus $25 cheaper for shipping.

 

Oh yeah...how are the stock tires (Goodyear MTR's I think) for snow/ice/trail riding? The main reason I wanted to get something like the 589 is because it sounds like the steering will be better and it would be a good wet-weather tire, but I never thought to ask how the oem tires are.

thx.
