Default HELP !!!!!!!!! Can't decide which kind of tire to get

I have a 2002 Polaris trailboss and am looking to replace the stock tires. I mostly trail ride but sometimes take it in the mud. Does anyone have a reccomendation on what kind of tires i should consider based on where i ride. I want something that hooks up well both in and out of mud

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

That's not a Raptor in your pics. It's a Yamaha 450.

I'm really happy with my ITP Mud Lites. Great in the mud and smooth ride on harder trails. Try to stick with a stock width and they ought to do well for you.

I just got some gbc gators. They have hooked up great in the mud and are smooth at all speeds on the trails. I went with 26" over 25" because the tread is a lot deeper on the 26". I have also heard a lot of good things about the Mudlites and almost went with them. I did a lot of reasearch on a lot of tires and the cheapest place I found for all of them were on ebay.

Radial Big Horns, Mud Lites, Radial MTR's, Vampires... all would be good tires for your quad... but my 1st choice would probably be the Carislyles new radial Badlands...
