What was the width and brand on those tires? I'm in the market for tires and I'm leaning toward the titan 589's. What do think?

 

Let me get that info from my friend so I don't tell you wrong. I'll post it here later.

 

U dont need those 27s on ur rancher my friend has a 2x4 and all i do to get him through the mudd when im on my kodiak is just sit on his back rack gets good traction that way

 

Mine are 27x10x12 Maxxis Mud Bugs for the front and 27x12x12 Maxxis Mud Bugs for the rear. I have talked to the guys at High Lifter many times about my 26 or 27 debate. Jeff assured me that I would have plenty of power to turn them. I guess I will find out this weekend. For me and it was a toss up between the 589s and the Bugs. The Bugs are just a few pounds lighter, but the 589s look a little more aggressive and cool.

 

r u suggesting I get someone to ride around on my rack all the time? I think new tires would be my choice.
I'm kidding, I know what you mean. Dude we're talking deep deep mud here. I would not have made it through the gate without these tires.

 

yeah you won't have any problem turning them.

 

i'm not sure how the Kodiak compares to the Big Bear but there where 4 brand new Big Bear quads and an older Foreman. The Rancher with those tires did better than any of those five. The Yama's had stock tires and foreman had swampers I think. We all got stuck but there was an obvious advantage to mine compared to theirs dispite the fact that I am 2x4.
Now I'll take any rider credit that's due...But the fact is I've never been mudding before.

 

well my kodiak is a 99 and the only mods i have is a warn winch and the kodi does well in the mud

 

Im glad to hear that others are becoming addicted to Fun Wheeler Park as I have... Glad to hear you got some mud in your blood.
Most of our crew is 4x4's with 26" Vamps and above.. (I ride on 27 Tri-Claw and Bi-Claws) We have some on Mud Runners, one 2x4 thats got Swampers... 2x4's ca do good if you have some "BITING" tires ont eh rear and keep moving in the tough stuff.. I hope ya'll went thru Mocassin Slough a few times... Some of the holes in there will get ya if you aren't careful..
Its not as much fun as it was a month ago though... Most of the really good stuff is dried up....
Holler next time ya'll r going out there...

 

alright I will. Like I said I've got to save up and get some tires/wheels so it may be a while. I've been spending a little too much money here lately....The wife's a little pissed. look forward to it though.
