i have a 06' sportsman 500, and i was wondering what the best tires to put on it. i love to ride in mud and snow and i do a lot of trail riding,i dont want a bigger size than the stock tires.

 

we like mudlites. we run 27's on 400, 500, 600 and 700 sportsmen with no problems and stock susupension, clutches etc. they r not the most aggressive out there but they do GREAT job in the deepest mud and sand u can find here florida. 25" deep grooves or 26"s would be a good choice if u dont want much more ground clearance than stock.
just my opinion.

 

Some of my favorites are MudLiteXTR radials and Badlands radials. I've experimented with alot of different tires...four sets on my current machine.

 

For me I am still running stock (Carlie AT) but
from all the posts I see people talking about
the Mudlites they are now recommending
the SwapLites, as eveything that the Mudlites
has and better, better for mud as it is more
floatable/buoyant so it doesn't dig itself
aground but up and out of the mud, water
snow.

My eye is on these tires but I would like to
hear some other opinions contrary or otherwise.

Good thread!
