25x8x12 front and 25x10x12 Goodyear Rawhide RS. Much better stock tire than the Carlisle Badlands XTR and definately better than the Goodyear Rawhide MT/R on the 650 V2. but just doesnt cut it in the mud as well as id like. its really unfortunate that AC stopped producing the 400. i would buy a 366 if it were only in the 500 chassis as well. its only 10 cc's smaller than the 400 i dont see why they cant. 10" of GC just isnt enough and im sure a 550 EFI will be out of budget. hope to get a good deal for myself on an 08 400 if theres any left come spring. i know a lot of ppl buy the 400s and wouldnt stoop down to the 366 level and will wait it out or switch MFGRs. i think the 2010s will include a 400 class again w/ 12" GC. or maybe even a late 09 model. i was thinking about the mudlites but i can get Maxxis 'Zillas mounted on 12" ITP SS108 Black rims w/ center caps and lugs delivered for $515. And i can get swamplites instead for very little more, but im thinking 25" Zillas, both Zillas and Swamplites have 3/4" lugs at 25" and 1" at 26" which kinda sucks but i think the tread design of the zillas will handle the mud a little better.

 

anyone been up to pine center near brainerd, mn lately? havent got up there yet this year and was thinking about taking my wife there tomorrow assuming theres gonna be some mud to play in. going to spider lake sunday, thats always a good time. pine center is only enjoyable when theres mud. thanks.

 

hey teh, well where do you live? i don't have the time this year anyways to just pick up and go somewhere riding atv. i got alot of projects and it seems that 60 percent of them i start myself.

 

i live in wadena county. close enough to get to spider lake or pine center without wasting a load of gas. usually carpool with my father-in-law since he has a 6-place trailer so that helps fuel consumption too.

 

my girlfriend went to college in wadena, i live in roseau county.

 

Roseau County weez, does that mean your girlfriend is also your sister???? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

that would be common in some parts of roseau county like in wannaska i guess but not in badger [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Just dropping a line. Hows the family man Weez? Hows the business Catterman? I put a couple hundred miles on my quad with a buddy and his new BF700EFI. He ran over a metal fence post and tore apart his actuator and then try to back up, causing the post to punch through his floor board. I came out flawless, as a cat always does. Deerhunting around the corner, can't wait to be up at Spidr for the 20th year hunting. (and im only 30!) And Weez, tell your sis..... I mean girlfriend I said hi [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

v2 i will make sure to tell them both you said hi. how is the family for you? we are getting excited about our lil arrival which is due in the middle of march. and i been out bowhunting this fall for the first time in my entire life. it has been great even though i didn't see anything. now i am getting ready for rifle season which is looking to shape up to be a great year. lots of deer.

 

weez, it looks like I'll be in the 'hood for deer season. First time since 1999.
