Mine have done exellent so far, I wish they were a little wider, but they have exellent tread and they're tall. I took it though some deep mud saturday night, hardly even spun.

so far mine have dome ok. i haven't gotten hung up yet but i know its commin. i think they are good for factory tire, but a set of blackwaters are in my future. if your gonna do ALOT of mudding get superswampers, vampires or wait for the new outlaws. the blackwaters are good all-purpose tires but not the best mudders. but they are much better than factory.

basicly all factory tires are garbage compared to aftermarket ones
hope this helps

what are you talking about, the es and the s are the same bike . . . I mean one has manual shifting and one is electric shift??? Tires are the exact same and neither is any better or worse off in the mud.

My Rancher has done very well so far in the mud and for anything else. They are very good for stock tires, much better than my Big Bear had. I took it through mud last night, it wasn't really thick, but it was thick enough to test out the Rancher pretty well. The mud was almost over my carb and I plowed right through it. On the ES thing, I don't have anything against the ES, I just like to shift with my foot. Plus, I like keeping my hands on the bars.
