hi guys, im looking at 25" Vampires for my 05 rancher ES! Im looking to put on 25-9.5-12 on the front and then 25-9.5-11 on the rear! Will i see ANY power loss from these tires? How do they wear and how do they perform in the mud and on the trails? thanks

 

i have the tsl's which are a little less aggressive than the vampires, but from what i have heard the vamps are very heavy tires, so expect a power loss. why dont you want to go with the wide rear tires?

 

I had 26 inchers on my 400 sportsman they do great in the mud,snow . They wear great . The only thing I dont like about them they are heavy too heavy. Hope this helps

 

huh i didnt see they were a heavier tire! Kodaik450, i want the narrower of that tires since it has 9.5 and 12 for the rear and i dont want a power loss sooo the 9.5 would do! What would be the better of the 589's or the mudbugs? also i really dont want any power loss!

 

i dont have any mud experience with either the mud bugs or 589s but i do know that the bugs are a lighter tire
if you check out highlifter.com they have a "tire spec database" in which they have listed many tire sizes and weights
