i have a 2003 honda rancher 2x4 and i am thing about putting on the 589's and i'm thinking of going with the 25x8-12 for the front and the 26x12-10 for the back if it will work ! does anyone know if this will work and if it will be to much for my rancher 2x4 ? if not a good idea i will go with the mud lites. thanks ahead for any info ...

Mudlight for you and Budlight for me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
ML for sure, I had the 589MT on a 500. It robs some good power..

 

The 589s do rob a lot of power. I took them off the c-series wheels for the P650 and sold the c-series and mounted the 589s on the Kodiak. The 589s take the "fun factor" out of the P650. The Kodiak doesnt provide "that" kind of fun but its purpose is mud and water riding.

Bottom line, if you are going to do alot of mud riding then get the 589s if you will hit mud occasionally then try the Mudlites.

 

The 27" 589's weight a fair bit more than the 26" So if you get the 26" ones it won't be so bad. Brother has 589's (26") on his 450 HON, and they rob some, but not that much power.

Kissofdeath said it wright though, 589's for mud, mudlites for occational mud.

BTW, kiss... that KOD must have lost a lot of power with 27" 589's!! I got 26" gators and the mud is now done in low[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

On a 2x4 I wouldnt go anything more than stock and defiatly not a 589.Think about 489XT or mud lite in the stock size.
