I put 25 " Surtracs on my Wolverine, they aren't a lot taller than the stock 23's, but they are a LOT wider, the front 8" tire is as wide as my stock rear 10", they have a great tread that can be flipped around for sand or mud and snow riding. Just don't go too big, a stock Wolverine is geared pretty high, and big tires will lug it down.Aluminum rims will help out,too.

It has been said by many that 25 inch is as big as one should go on a wolv. I know that the 26s on mine ( i bought it that way) are too much in mud for it. So im gonna fix that by going with a big bore kit....if my freakin manual will ever come in.....

I really like my 489XT's that I got - stock width but 25" tall. It seems to turn them just fine and dandy and it sure does a lot better in the mud now - no comparison. It is a lil work to get a powerslide out of the rear but it always was and will be til I get the 424 kit from Warn and kick er into 2WD. When I plan on doing more 2WD riding I'll get some tires more like the stockers so I can slide through the turns easier like a sport bike, although never with the same handling characteristics and suspension, but hey, that's why I bought the Cannondale, right?
