Can anyone tell me if these tires are one in the same. When you go to the ITP website they list titan tires at the bottom of the page. If they are different can anybody give me some details? Lug depth on each?

I found out today that ITP bought Titan's factory (molds) that make the 589's .So yes they are the exact same tire.

They only bought the AT mold. The Titan M/T is a Different tire. Its 6ply and it looks somewhat different.

Mudstud, Yes I know that ITP only bought the AT mold. I spoke to the factory tech's at both ITP and Titan. The 589 AT is also a 6ply tire. I decided to go with the 26" 589 AT's.(Had them put on 1/22) They have a harder rubber compound than the MT's, which is better for the type of riding I do.The guy who designed and help devolop the MT now works for ITP.The MT does however have a better rim guard built into them.
