Well winter is coming and this year i'm going to replace the crappy stock tires on my Xplorer for some real rubber.

My Xplorer 400 is stock.
I have two questions.
1. What is the rim size on the front and back. I'm at work and it's slow so i figured i would do some shopping.
2. Which is better is snow Mudlites or 589's? Also which has a longer life span. Dad takes the ATV from time to time and will go into town with it so i would like it to be able to somewhat stand up to tar.
Thanks guys.

 

i have no idea about the tires, but i am also looking forward to some snow so i can play in it with my xplorer 400 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] only problem is snow is pretty rare around here [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

you might look at the ITP atr radial tires..........supposed to be great in the snow, and not so much a heavy harsh ride mud tire like your other choices.

 

My 25" Atr's are awesome in the snow! Only thing better then them were my 26" radial outlaws, them things WENT!

 

Can i put 26's on it without overloading the quad with rubber?

 

I would at least put 26's on it, would be a prob at all. And getting a 26 or taller you'd get a taller tread then running a 25. My 27" Dirt Devils do a good job in the snow, just isn't all that good in the mud though.

 

i would think the 589's last longer

 

Most i ever been in was like 3 inches, but i would imagine the tri-claws would do awesome in the snow.

 

My riding buddys have Mudlites and 589's. The Mudlites are 27in and the 589's are 26in. IMO I like the 589's a little better, but both are awesome tires. I don't know which is best in the snow because they got them this summer (and Arkansas doesn't get much snow anyway LOL). Good luck, and BTW your post is on 660 (cool!).[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I think i'll check out a set of 26 or 27 589's.
Thanks for all the info.

haha yah I didn't post for the rest of the day because i wanted it to stay on 660.
Oh well guess it can't last forever.
