swamplites would also be a very good all around tire for you to consider!

I'll second te Mudlites--they are very popular, with good reason. They are rather light wieght--much less then Swamplites--which are also a good choice. Mudlites are super easy to get and one of the least expensive tires you can get. They will do your Rancher just fine--get 25's though--forget the 24's that come on it. That is just dumb and never did make any sense. I put 25's on mine and it goes many places much easier than my buddies do with 24's. The Mudlites won't stress your drivetrain and wear nicely. Mine have about 1000 miles on them--mostly gravel and rocky trials and are doing just fine--at least 2000 more to go. If you really don't do much mud at all you could get the AT's--Honestly you will have to if you keep the stock wheels because of Honda's other bonehead move of putting 10 inch rear wheels on it. The AT's will do just fine in even moderate muholes and do GREAT in just about everything else. The XL's just look so much meaner, but are just a tad rougher riding, but they wear better due to the much taller tread--obviosly they do better in the deap mud and fine on trails and loose terrain as well. Yamaha puts the AT's on their Big Bear that they advertise as a mud machine--if that helps. Again the mud lites are very good all around tires and you won't be disapointed. They do everything your stockers do, but better and they will be able to do many things your stockers can't. Again get 25's--a bit more ground clearance and it greatly helps in crawling over obstacles. Best of luck.

Check out the ITP TerraCross also. If you mainly stay on the trails and avoid the deep stuff, these are great. It's what I plan to go with when I replace the stock Popo tires. I want a good all around trail tire that won't mess up the yard either.
