Get a set of turf tamer tires, that are'nt that expensive you can probably pick up a set for $38 to 40 bucks each.
They get great traction and can be grooved to your own riding preferences.

thanks scram. i might do that. i'd like some other suggestions too if any1 else has them. i was thinking about realters in back and bandits up front. i think it would be cool to put the realters on backwards so the tread would be facing the opposite way. would that be really bumpy or would it be like the same as having them on the normal way? also i was looking at shredders. how are they?

Well if you can afford to spend another $5 to 10 bucks a tire go with maxxis razr's on both the front and rear.
Those tires give you all around great traction in most any condition.
If your going to buy them go with 22's on the rear if you want to keep your top end, buying a smaller tire like an 18 will reduce your top end drasticly.
Unless you use your quad for mud dont bother with the realtors.

i ride through mud a lot. i have to drive though a 2 foot deep creak and me and my friend love seein how deep we can get in big mud puddles. also i ride in a sand quarry a lot. i do ride on hard pack a lot too. the sand is what i's going to be riding in most. i can't go there right now cuz my tires are too bald and my clutch slips too bad. i got a new clutch now i need new tires. would the realters be good in the sand? the thing that keeps me from getting razrs is that their that soft rubber stuff right?

For where you ride the realtors are perfect, their made for exactly the conditions your discribing mud and sand.
Being reversable is also a plus for mud running.
Dont worry about sand, those bars down the center of the tire were made to act like paddles.
Dont be surprised if you can handle more severe mud situations than your buddy.
