I've been places where any lift would be too much to go under tree branches. But if you're going to lift it, go big or go home. Go home and get the step ladder, that is.

Of all the tires I've ever had on any atv, I had these on a Grizzly 660 before and they were the best mud tires of all I've tried ITP Tires - 589. Hadn't looked them up in a while, wow they have gotten expensive. Though those are retail prices, actual price on site is $99 for fronts and $113 for rears in stock size so not too bad, $426 for a set of 4. I paid a lot less for mine but its been about 8 years ago but they were slightly used when I got them. I think I paid $150 for all 4 in stock 25" size.

There were tires that were a lot more aggressive back then but the 589's held their own and weren't too bad on the hard packed stuff.

Goodyear quit making ATV tires but Titan is making them now. The Mud Runners I had on my 2001 Sportsman 500 H.O. were great. The tread lasted a long time before showing any wear. The 25" tires beat other brands of 26" and 27" mud tires when one of the magazines had their annual mud tire shootout. They made 26" Mud Runners back then too and nothing in their size made back then could beat them in the mud. They ran amazingly smooth on hard pack too. They had a slight vibration at a certain low speed but if you sped up just a little it smoothed right out. Some mud tires that don't have as much tread near the center don't ride as smooth. They're also available as the Mud Runner EMT with run-flat technology again. One of the ATV magazines drilled a 2" hole in the side of one and successfully took it for a test ride back then. They're available in 25", 26" and 27". They don't compare to the monster tires in the OP but they're good for everyday trail riding. https://www.titanatv.com/goodyear-at...cker-mudrunner

The riverboat captains called. They said they want their paddle-wheels back.

There's an InterForce II with better tread than the original InterForce.
https://www.intercotire.com/tire/185

I'm fairly sure STI used to make ag tire and wheel kits a long time ago. I looked online to see if anyone else is making ag tires and came across BKT tires AT 171. They make them up to 39.6" diameter. They also have a BOGMAX mud tire in 30" and 32" that looks good.

The one that I linked is an R1 AG tire for use on atv's, they give excellent all around traction.

The one you linked is a mud bog tire, sweet tire but not my cup of tea.

The link directly above the bogmax link is an ag tire. Here it is again. https://www.bkt-tires.com/en/pattern/at-171
