05 Rancher 4x4 Tires
Hi all, I'm in the market for new tires. I've searched around quite a bit on this site, but I couldn't find anything that specifically helped my needs. I've got a 2005 Rancher 4x4, and have narrowed my choices down to 26" Gators or 26" Mudlites from the information i've found here.
I use the quad primarly for:
1. Trail riding/woods - Going to the mud pits I go at least a few miles on the trails/woods.
2. Mud - I go through a LOT of mud and swamp land (i'm in south florida) and need a tire that will get me through the nastiest and thickest mud because I go miles back through mud trails.
3. Utility purposes/towing
I want a reliable tire that wont leave me hanging when i'm miles out in the woods.
Also I need to know sizes for front/rear that you all recommend. Should I order new rims with the tires? Where should I order from?
Thanks

You will be able to spin them ok. You'll notice some power loss. As far as fitment, you'll be fine. A Rancher can "fit" up to a 27" BI/Tri combo. If you can, go with a pipe/jetting you will recover most all of the power you'll lose for the larger size tires. Before I did this, I had to stay in first or second most of the time when in really thick mud. The Type 6 is a really pretty rim! We have them on my dad's Rubi and they look great. Some hardcore mudders prefer the Type 5 due to the effects of the mud on the 6's clearcoat (just a thought).
