850XP Tire question 09'
I know this topic comes up alot but I'm finally ready to upgrade my tires. I don't want rubbing issues but need some good all around tires that work good in Mud & snow as well. I'm think ITP Mudlites XTR (XL or XTR ?) or Maxis Bighorns.
I have the 14" aluminum rims; wheels 26x8x14 (F), AT26x10x14 (R). Is it better to get new, smaller Rims?
Thanks in advance - this site Rocks! Pictures would be awesome.

Jeff,
I have tested quite a few tires over the years. My favorite so far have been the GBC Grim Reapers. Take a look at them. Stick with the stock 26" Our last snow fall we had 24 inches and the reapers got the job done. I now have over 1K miles on them and they still look like new. They are 8 ply also.

Thanks - those look pretty sweet. The 27" won't work - or not needed? BTW - I bent the p!@# out of my GCII Plow bracket the other day. Now my buddies cutting and rewelding it for me. Did you have yours reinforced with anything? I would recommend it!
I know someone out there has another tire for me to consider???

OK - I think I'm gonna go with the GBC but am leaning towards the Spartacus vs. the Grim Reapor's and stick with the 26".
I wish I knew how to post pics :-(

Am I missing something?
