What do you fellow Scrambler riders suggest for aftermarket tires.

I do alot lot of trial riding with a fair amount of Mud.Also ride alot in the Winter"snow"

Looking for something a little more aggressive,but not too agressive.

I was between spidertracs and Titan 489 X/T's. I finally settled on the 489 X/T's for a few reasons. 1. They were cheaper 2. I could find them in stock sizes 3. They are super tough 6-ply tries 4. they had a more aggressive and deeper tread than the spidertracs, although the spidertracs do look sweet. I am happy with my decision. They ride a little stiffer than the stock 489 A/T's, but not that bad. They are awsome on trail, snow, sand , and moderate mud. I haven't gotten stuck...yet. They are just a great all terrain tire

I also really like the way that the spidertracks look.

489 X/T's here, I totally agree with BigBads' description. Oh, and I replace them eith the stock size, you can go smaller or larger, but smaller will make you have less ground clearance, and bigger will wear out suspension compnents faster. Just keep the ratio between front and back the same and you are ok with 4wd.

I've been doing a lot of looking and reading, and I keep coming back to the 489 XT. I'm pretty sure that's the tire I will buy. After reading this post it only confirms it more.

I had Bear Claws on mine and loved them. I don't know if your buying wheels or not but I did and went to a 11" front rim to give me more options and still have 23"s tall to maintain the front to rear height ratio. HTH
