Ok i have a Cat 500 and it gets most its uses in either the farm fields in MN in the mud in the spring/ fall and then in the summer it gets used for mudding and alot of river riding...I have stock tires on it now and am looking at upgrading I want something that gets the best traction the ride isn't that important because i don't drive many hard trails or roads...any sugestions? i found a mudzilla big foot kid with 25's for 560 also i was thinking about getting 26 inch would that effect my gearing at all?
any sugestions are welcome

 

I put 26" mudlites on mine, fit great. Is yours an auto or manual? They did take some power away, and I don't like the rpm the clutch engares at but a clutch kit should fix that though. I am currently swapping in 3.6 diffs and will post in the ac forum on how they do. I think between the tires and the fact that the ac is heavy going to the 3.6 vrs 3.1 diffs will give me more power and not lower my top speed. We'll see.

 

i have 28" zillas on my sportsman with a lift, i have 26" 589 itp, or my vinson, with lift, the bottom line , you cant freaking steer the polaris, its not that it is difficult, the tires just seem to always want to go straight, and oh yea even since i put on 28s all i have even had is problems, they weigh someware as much as 48lbs a tire WOW, and 589s weigh like 28. big difference, i can go the same place that the 28"ers go with my 589s, and i dont brake belt or run out of power, there have been MANY times that the sp 500 has gotten stuck, or water stalled, and the vinson goes right through.

now the goods, they look sick as heck, and go pretty much anyware, but i think they are to heavy, and truely handle like cr@ppa.
