hello all I have a grizzly 660 4wd 2004 model. I am looking for new tires. I mainly ride in mountainous terrain hard pack trails and gravel and grassy roads. I have been looking at different tires and am looking for a good 26 inch tire.

Thank you,

JAragon

 

For the riding you described.... That is too easy.... Maxxis Bighorn !

Though you might want to wait ... rumors are that a lighter version Bighorn 2.0 is coming out soon...

Here is one link to a review
Bighorn Review !

The 25" tires measure out at 26" a lot of guys up here in New England run them... You could probably run the acutally 26" Bighorns.I am running my stockers until the Bighorn 2.0's come out... or until I get stuck more often than not... right not my stockers do pretty good! I am also considering the Maxxis Zilla (not mudzilla) tire. I have heard / seen too many headaches with weak sidewalls on the ITP Mudlites / Mudlite XTR's. Since I ride rocky trails as well.. I can't afford sidewall problems... My stockers which are maxxis have taken one heck of a beating in the rocks! My rims are proof of the abuse... and they still hold up just fine!

 

HI. I SEEN YOU WROTE THAT MUDLITE XTR'S HAVE WEAK SIDEWALLS. I LIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND (ALL) WE RIDE IN IS SWAMP, MUD. HOW DO THE XTR'S
HOLD UP, PULL AND CLEAN OUT IN THE MUD?????

 

Any others anyone recommends other than the Bighorns? When do these new Bighorns come out?

 

ITP 589s seem to be pretty durable with lots of grip.

 

If you had the choice between Bighorns, Interco Swamplites or 589 M/S which would you go with?

 

I think I'm going with the swamplites for my next tire but, I don't think they are the best for the riding you described.

 

what do u think of the xtr's, are they made by mud lite or swamplite? terra cross
do not clean out well.

 

I think the Swamplites would work well for you. At the price of them you could save some $$$ to spend on something else. I think the 589's are pretty hard. All three tires I think would be pretty good choices. I can only speak for what I ran and run. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I just bought a set of Kenda executioner 27" for my 2007 polaris sportsman 500. By far the best move I have made since adding a winch. I do lots of woods riding and they are great. They are a good all around tire. Next to no vibration at low speeds and handel very well on all teraine. the only problem i ran into is that i for got to order front wheel spacers at the same time. but with a set of 26" you should be fine.
