Default For those considering 29.5

Sorry no picks, but I'll see what I can do. They look BAD ***. And I was pleasantly surprised to find out how they perform in snow. I have a friend with an AC 650 and hes running 27" 589s. Even with his substantial ground clearance advantage I could literally drive circles around him. He would get stuck and I'd pull up in front of him hook on the strap and take off. I ordered mine directly from Highlifter. I actually had the first set in Canada. I live in Rainbow Lake (West of High Level 140 kms). The trails around here are unbelievable. I don't leave the yard without chest waders...ever. You can find some dry trails, but wheres the fun in that.

sorry! guess I should have asked what tire you were looking for in a 28"...if it's an outlaw then you're out of luck cause motovan carries 25" only...anything bigger you have to get on your side of the border

Thanks RC, hopefully I can afford a set this summer, gotta try em out now. I'm actually supposed to be moving my rig out south of Rainbow soon, Fontas area but on the AB side.
I live just north of Sexsmith, lots of great trails around here too, lots of mud but some good fast ones too. If you ever get down this way we'll have to go ridin.

Oh yeah, forgot to ask, what did they cost ya by the time you got them here?? Did they hit you pretty hard crossing the border?? Thanks.

If memory serves me correctly I recall it being right around 850 by the time I actually had them on my doorstep. Thats alot for quad tires, but the performance justifies the expense. And as far as axles go I've had no trouble. The only thing I do different is be very gentle on the throttle when the bars are cranked and I'm in deep. When I'm going straight there's seldom a time when the throttle comes off the stopper. I absloutely love WFO. Also when you get these things on your quad try a few mud runs in 2wd low. You'll be amazed. The extra wheel speed when running in 2wd makes huge rooster tails. I just wish I had enough HP to spin all four that fast.
