i want to get some new tires for my 02 foreman es and was wondering what u guys think about the gator tires 26" or 589 M/S 26". i ride mostly in deep mud and creeks and hills.

 

I think the gators would be a little better.

 

You can actually fit a 27" tall tire with no clearance issues, I reccomend them, It'll give a larger tire to sling more mud, but more improtantly a little more ground clearnance that you will find to be very important in deep mud and rutted tracks.

 

My neighbor put the 26" Mudlites 26-10x12 on front and 26-12-12 on the rear. It not only killed his power, the front also rubbed when he turned. It did look really good though.

I don't think the 27's would have worked because the cleance in the front was minimal with the 26's

Good luck

 

I run 9's in the front, 10's can be fit with wheel spacers if necessary.
