Default TIRES

Im not getting tires yet because I am not going riding for a while except in the snow. I decided to just get chains for the snow and in the spring get some 25-26" mudlites for my wolverine. Do tires make a big difference if you ride off road? people told me it changes the whole feel of the atv depending on where you ride. What do you all think

25inch mudlites aren't any better than stock tires. If you ain't going 26inch then don't go/IMO

I just bought a set of new 25" MudLite XL's. They are just out and have the same tread depth as the 26" and larger tires. Here are some pics.
I wanted a stock size tire so the speedo would be correct. I won't get to try them for another week or two, it's hard to wait!

You would loose a lot of the sportiness of the Wolverine if you got that big and aggressive of a tire. Go with the 25" XL's.

Maybe it's just me but if you make a 25inch tire with over a 1 inch tread depth don't that make it bigger and they will still mess up your speedo?

No. The tire size includes tread depth.
