Default mud tires

I've got the 589 MS tires on my Honda Foreman. They work great. I stuck with the stock sizes for easy steering.

i think that the good-years are overlooked because of their price. At least that's what i've experienced.

I got my Gators 40% off, and my brothers titan 589's where around 60%+ off. He got 26X12-12's for $99. the same with me.

just get vamps.the best tire ever. and they last a long time even if u do a lot of trail and gravel riding. just keep them off pavement. i got some and they ride smoother than stock. at first they will feel like they arent balanced but i think its just the sealant spreading. dont put more than 8 pounds in them or they prolly will ride rough.

Take a look at my pics. I have mud lites mountd on Douglas .190 rims in stock size.

I went with stock for easy swap of my old set in case of tire failure and to keep suspesion and steering geometry correct.

The tires work greatinthe mud. It seems like it was a mud tires designed for the trail, which is does both great! The pipe is from HPD and is supposed to improve the entire power band (with the Jet kit). It does have more low end (much easier to pull wheelies) and mid range, but top end seems the same.

Overall, it improved power, but nothing substantial.
