I have a 2002 Honda Rubicon with an HMF muffler, jets, and a K&N air filter, and at the end of this month I am planning on getting some new tires for it. Im stuck between the 26" AMS Swamp fox tires and the 26" highlifter outlaw MST tires. I do about 50/50 riding where half of it is back in my woods riding on trails, and the other half is spent in various mud holes and shallow ponds and creeks. I guess what I am looking for is opinions on which tires you think would be better? They are both close to the same price with the swamp foxes being just a little cheaper. Also which one of these tires will I get the most life out of?

 

mst is hands down winner against foxes i dont like mst had a set of swampwitches almost same tire i hated them look at bugs - gators - swamplites - 589s if your mind is not made up

 

The problem for me with the gators/bugs is the only 26" size I have seen for the front is 26x10x12 and I dont want to go any wider than 26x9x12 up front, and they are just a little to aggresive looking for me because I do a little bit of riding on pavement and gravel roads. After looking at the swamplites they just didnt seem aggresive enough. My buddy has 26" 589's on his Rincon and I was not impressed with how they performed in the mud or on the trails, so I doubt I will go that direction either. I am also not a real big fan of ITP tires. Thanks for the suggestions though!!

 

i got gators and ride on pavement quite a bit, and they ride fine. the only time the ride bad is under 6 or 7 mphs. at that speed they can chip a tooth!! but arent the outlaws fairly aggresive?

 

The outlaw MST's arent as aggressive as a bug or gator. Gators only come in a 10" wide tire in the 26's and that is to wide for the front of my fourwheeler anyway. 26x9x12 is what size I want for the front and 26x12x12 is what I want for the rear.

 

have you looked the carsliles489s? nice ride tall *****!

 

Yes I have seen those before. Arent they the factory tire that comes on some of the polaris fourwheelers? I dont know if they are aggressive enough.

 

they are the factory tire for polaris.

 

Hands down the swampfoxes win. They do great on the trail mud mud just as good as any other tire. Had swamplites and I like these better. I know a guy with 1600 miles on his foxes and he said they lokk like new. You won't be disappointed with these.

 

How do the tires ride on pavement? Do they seem to wear bad on the pavement? I do alot of road riding to get to the trails and mud holes that I ride on.
