I would look at mudrunners,gators or mudbugs.All three work well in conditions from mud to muskeg to hardpack.

I am about to put a set of 589 m/s on as soon as I decide to put down the cash. How could you say no when the result looks like this??

BEFORE
AFTER

The best looking quad bundled with the toughest looking tires (besides mudzilla) is a tough combo to beat

checkout this topic that was posted earlier. Seems the stock rims work just fine.

got a Rincon with ITP C-series and 589 M/S. Excellent traction but at the expense of power loss. Was in Canada over the weekend riding at 60+ MPH and I couldn't keep up with bikes I usually blow away like a sp500ho and sp700. But they wouldn't follow me into snow or mud. Sp700 got stuck in snow that I easily made it through in 2wd!!!

How much of a power loss are you talking about rinconq?? I would expect low end power suffering rather than top end. The bigger tires size should add around 4 mph to top speed.

Explain a little more :/

Kept the stock tire size. But I think the power loss was attributed to the weight gain. The stock wheel/tire combo weighed in at 10 - 11 lbs front and rear. But the C-series with a 589 mounted on it weighed in over 20lbs in the front and 22lbs in the rear. That is approx. 10lbs per corner. A lot more weight to turn. Really noticable on inclines but on level ground I could not get over 58 MPH, and seemed to be bouncing off the rev-limiter. But downhill I would get up to 64 MPH. I was running them at 2.5psi. I think I will bump them up to 3.5 or so. Excellent traction though, but the riding that weekend was all dirt roads.

I would suggest 589 MS but sticking to the stock size. You will have great traction, no power loss and steering will be just as easy as stock.

Big tires will make your steering heavy and riding will be less fun.
