I'm getting itp rims and a 27" tire. Havn't decided on the tire yet. My friend has bear claws and they work great in all conditions. The dealer is kind've pushing mud lites at me. I like the meaty look of the 589's though. But, when it comes down to it, which is the best tire? Mud, trail, road and all around.

 

All I can tell you is that I love my 589's.........they get me through almost anything.

 

How do they run on hardpack or the road?

 

The best tire I have ever used is the mudrunner.It provides great traction in all conditions,rides smooth and steers easy .They also tend to wear well and are very pucture resistant.Gators are a very close second but are easier on the budget. A friend has 589's on his rincon and traction is great but they are a lot rougher on hardpack.

I like the 26 inch Outlaw Radials. They are a smooth running tire, the tread wraps up the side wall and with 6 plys they are extremely puncture resistant. Check them out at All Terrain Charleys www.atvtires.com Charley has great prices and free shipping. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I really love the Claws. I usually stay in the mountains for most of my riding but I went to the dunes this last saturday with some friends and the Bear Claws were awsome there too.

 

I like the new Mud Hogs, they are a all around good tire. They wear good and are hook up well in all conditions i have been it.

 

My brother has 589s and they are unbelivable! They are a little rough on hardpack. If you want a much smoother tire with 98% of the capability of the 589 then look into a set of Goodyear Mudrunners.

 

Love my 27" Mudlites...

 

The Dr. is in....

Bear Claws are excellent in mud, deep snow and hard pack.
And they are a fairly light weight tire also.
