27" 589 ON 650
#3
650vtwin, I have 27" 589's too. The clearance is very close between the right rear tire and the gas tank. Mine clears it by about 1/8". I was looking at your pictures and it looks like you have more clearance than I do. Did you put spacers or washer on the wheels? Or trim the tire?

They come in 27x9x12 & 27x11x12, and are a very good all around tire that wears good over 1100 miles on mine and still look almost new. I don't know if they will fit or not but I ride with a guy that has 27x10 & 27x12 swamp pros with no problems. The 589 ms seems to wear better than the 589 mt does.

thanks for reply sorry it took so long to reply back. I put a hole in rear tire in sidewall so now I have to buy tires. I was looking at the 589 but my dealer has a set of 28" ITP blackwaters? I think that what he said and he said they would fit and he would give me a hell of a deal. I haven't decided yet what to get but it goes in for service Friday so I have to decide Anyone have sugg. I ride in deep mud alot and hard pack.

If you're asking which of the 2 is better on hardpack and deep mud, then it's definitely the 589. The Blackwater is a general all-around tire that doesn’t excel in any area. Especially if you ride in deep mud, I would get 589’s, MudBugs, or ?. Just my opinion from personnel experience.
