Default Need opinions on tires

I have a 2006 Honda rincon and currently have a set of 28x9-12 and 28x11-12 Itp Mega mayhems. I found them on Craigslist for $200 and are like brand new. I thought they would be good but I thought wrong. In trails, they tend to slide all over the place and just spin. They do very good in the mud though, but they are a pure mud tire. I had a set of 26" tusk trilobites (bighorn knock offs) before these and those did excellent on the trials but wore out fast. I also just did a brgr in the rincon so can run bigger Size tires. What do you guys reccomend? Basically I need a good long wearing trail tire.

Usually Radials last the longest for general trail riding. Don't get to big and heavy with the Rincon since it just a 3 speed with no low gear.

I did the big red gear reduction so I have a 28% reduction now. Not to to worried about weight and size. Would like a 27-28" tire.

The ATV came with 25" so if your more into trail riding 27 " is still a good jump in size.

Yeah I know. It handles the 28 mega mayhems really good. Spins then in peanut butter mud good.
