Default 589's or mudlites

500 sportsman want to lighten the load. everyone talks mudlite's but the 589's are a lighter tire. buddy has 589's and it is a tough tire. we mainly ride trails with some mud and river crossing's. ride in west by god va and maryland not alot of mud lots of hard pack. what about holeshot atr? any input will help, i know i'm beatin a dead horse but want to make right decision. thanx for the help.

The group I ride with have 589's and we think they are the best tire out there. They don't puncture very easy & they will take you through mud, sand, rock, snow like no other tire.

I second the notion on the 589's. They are the best mud tire I have used by far. Quite durable in extreme rocky terrain as well.

my Titan 589s are great,the Executioners toss more mud but are a bit harsh on the trail. Also, my 589s are about 9lbs more than the same size mudlite both on alum wheels but toss more stuff and stay open better.. I run 589s on front and Kendas out back.

i have heard a lot of good things about the 589s but i prefer the mudlites. they have a mean tread pattern to them, but i have noticed thet do not like trees or other straight up obsticles

I love my 589's. Its the best thing i've added to my fourwheeler. And, to me, my ride is still very smooth, and it dosent seem like they're that heavy. But anyway, i love them and when i get my next ATV, i will purchase another pair.

i would get the interco swamp lites. they are alot lighter and less agresive then the 589s and pull better in the mudd than the mudlites.
