You got me sold on the 589s. When I get stuck a few times that is what I'll buy.

i just installed titans 589 mt on mine. there some beefy ars tires. got 26 inchers, and can put a 2 litre bottle under it anywhere without it even touching. i have before and after on my pics, go check them out. people say you loose speed when you go to a bigger tire, but i swear, i gained it. my stock tires would slip alot, but these just grab, and your off!

Mich660, they told you wrong. You loose bottom end going to those larger tires. You're really faster on them at the same RPM. Had you stayed with the same size tires or gone to smaller diameter, you could get a lot more wheel spin/HP, faster than those big wheels are going to allow. It's just a matter of preference anyway. But I'm sure you already know that your odometer is going to be wrong as well as your speedo due to the new oversized tires. Again, no big deal... I should have my AC by this coming weekend. The dealer will have the winch mounted by Wednesday. Some of the guys I ride with may be going out soon. If you'd like to ride with us sometime, just E-mail me.

hey chuck'

i would always be interested in riding with other people. where do you usually ride at? i knew going into it that i would be throwing off the speedo and the miles, but it is soooo worth it. all i need now is a bumper sticker that reads, (got mud?)
