hard to answer that question when we have no idea what kind of riding you do or the terrain you ride on. they make a ton of tires for different kinds of riding. we would hate to recommend skat trak extreme haulers if you never ride dunes or racing slicks if you are riding thru mud pits. LOL just giving you a hard time but seriously we need some more info before we could even think about recommending a tire for you.

by the way welcome to the forums

I tried several different tires on my Rancher over the years...but finally just went back to the stock ones that I had siting in the shed for 10 years! Glad I did! No more bump steer or weird handling.....

The problem with stock tires is that they are only 2 ply tires, they are soft and puncture easily, If I were you, a 6 ply tire is what I would get. Far more puncture resistant than a stock tire. Mudlites are a 6 ply tire and are a great all-terrain tire. You don't have to get new rims the factory rims will hold a bigger set if you are looking for bigger tires.

Mudlites are a great tire for all around perfomance. I have 25" Mudlite XL's on my 97 Wolverine. They are light enough so the smaller quads wont lose much power over stock tires and they are 6 ply. I have several thousand miles on mine and they are still looking good with not much wear. They do great on the trails and do good in the mud as long as it does not get too thick. I think you will be more than please with a set. Stock wheels wont be a problem they make mudlites in a ton of different sizes.
