Hi all,
I am looking to replace the 589 titans on my 2000 AC 500 4X4. I use this wheeler for lots of different utility work and very little pleasure or trail riding. I live in hilly country and one use I have is towing trailer loads of firewood out of my timber. Currently I have problems when I have to pull a load of wood uphill. The wheeler doesn't run out of power, but I run out of traction. I need a tire that gets maximum traction in normal conditions, i.e. not mud or snow or anything like that.
Any and all input is appreciated.

maybe kenda bear claws, dirt devils at or xt, itp atr, or maxxis bighorns

 

I don't know how you would get any more traction than the 589s. Do you mean you're replacing the stock 489s?

 

I would go with a radial tire like the Carlilse Badland XTR, ITP ATRs or the Wetlands PXT.
Maxxis Bighorns too.

i think trail wolfs get pretty good traction. thats what i have on my p650, i can get enough traction on grass to get the front tires off the ground as high as i want. they also get better traction than the mudbugs i had on this one hill at my house. i would spin a lot with the bugs, but with the trail wolfs it goes up it without a problem.

 

propnut,
You are correct. I meant to say that I am replacing the original titan 489s.

Thanks everyone for the help. You've given me good, solid choices to look into.
