Need help picking a medium duty mud tire
guys,
New member here and need some help. I have a 2014 Polaris Ranger EV. Its electric so not looking for added vibration and noise as this is used for hunting purposes. The issue is that i'm now on my third set of tires and can't seem to find a somewhat aggressive tread that cleans out well in very sticky black mud. The mud is not deep just very slick and sticky. The best tires I've used to date are the AMS Swamp Fox "original version". They clean well and take my golf cart places I can' t believe. So I decided to try the newer Swamp Fox Plus (needed a higher payload) on the Ranger and they vibrate horribly at low speed on hard pack. I also tried the ACT HD tires. They go well but also vibrate badly at low speed. I even get a sound "vibration like" that resonates through the roll cage tubes and into the top of the ranger. Very aggravating. So Does anyone make a decent tire that has enough payload, traction, and self cleaning ability that doesn't vibrate at low speed? Or is this just asking to much. I also tried my friends Sadona Ripsaws off his Ranger and they are quiet but hold way to much mud. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I'm now looking at Kenda Bounty Hunter ST and GBC Spartacus. These in 26x9x14 and 26x11x14. Another thought was to use the factory wheels and try the ITP Mudlite XTR's in 26x9x12 and 26x11x12. But I'm concerned on the payload rating for this tire. My machine is heavy due to all the batteries coming in at #1750 for just the Ranger and no payload. Thank you

Normally a directional tread pattern clears mud better but those look great. Is your mud really sticky and cling to everything?
