Default itp 589 or mudlites for KQ 700?

the size im looking at is 27 in. mudlites are 27 10 12 and 27 12 12, 589's are 27 9 12 and 27 11 12. which tires would you pick? im leaning towards 589 cuz of the agresssive look and best mud traction available without going overboard. but would the extra inch width of the lites be of any advantage? also for itp rims should i get the polished c6's or the machined c5's. which finish is better? thanks alot!

i would go with 26's with 589's...if u go with mudlites then you can go with the 27's cuz they are really lite

Kawasakirules is right. I woul dgo with 27 inch mudlites. From what i have seen they work as well as the 589's in most cases. Plus they wont slow you down so much.

would i even notice a loss in power with the 700 with 27in 589's? and also do the 589's have a noticable difference in mud traction or would the lites be just as good?

I would get the 589's. I have no complaints about mine, They clean themselves out good in the gooey stuff. The 26" are only available in 9" wide in the front and 12" wide in the back. I don't think you would have a problem spinning 27's.

would the lites do just as good because they are 27 10 12 and 27 12 12 vs. the 589 which are 27 9 12 and 27 11 12? what would an extra inch of width on the front and back do. or another choice could be the 589's in 26 9 12 and 26 12 12? which setup would you guys pick? does anyone have pics of any of these setups? thanks alot!
