Default New tires for Prairie 650

It's about time for me to replace the tires on my P650 and I'd like some suggestions. My riding area is mud, sand and hard pack. I do not want tires that are so agressive that I can't slide the rear-end around without it always wanting to tip. I'd like some good all around tires tailered towards mud / hardpack.
I'll probably replace the rims also.

Thanks.

MUDBUGS.... wear like iron, there light[lighter than mud lites in some sizes] and work good on trails and exelent in the mud, oh they are one of the cheapest tires out there... i have them,, and love them.. i have tried more expensive tires that didnt work half as good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also i live were there razor sharp rocks and never got a flat, i have never had to put air in them for that matter!!!!!i doubt if i will wear them out, but if i do i will get another set!! note: they are on a p 650

OK, thanks for the advice they look like pretty good tires now my next question is would you stick with the Stock size or go one inch(taller) bigger? I don't want to go 2" bigger for stability reasons.

Thanks again.

i run the 25s to keep it as trail friendly as possible ..but 26 would still retain a reasonable amount trailiblity keep in mind 26s a only give you 1/2 inch of extra clearance and also effects the gear ratio of your machine, i dont know about you, but my top speed is more than enough and could count on one hand how manny times i have had it going 60 mph... if you can get it going that fast in the trails your a better man than me!!!! also the stock tires are JUNK i got 3 flats in one day and went out and bought new tires the next day. you would think, at the cost of a new machine you would get a set of tires that last longer than 1/4 tank of fuel!!!!!!!!!!!
