i put the itp atrs 26in and think they are the best tire ive used esp for the snow havent tried them in the mud yet but they sure seem like thell be great if you get the rims like i did youll get a 2in wider stance and that makes the brute handle way better

 

I have just put on some ITP type 5 wheels with 26 inch ATR's. I have to agree, these are the best handling tire and wheel combo I have ridden. It makes the brute force handle great and the traction is still there. I do alot of mountain ridding aswell, and so far the tires have not let me down. It is a different machine with these tires on. I dont think you can go wrong with whatever tire you choose, anything is better than the dunlops that are stock on this machine. Whoever thought this was a good combination for the brute is smokin something. Good luck!
