Default What tires are best all around?

I was looking for a light 6-ply tire that will not affect the power output of a stock '05 Grizz 660. I like the Mudlites and the dirt devils. I live on a farm with hilly conditions in Southern Ohio and sometimes go out to Colorado to go Elk Hunting in the mountains. I don't want the extra weight of the 589m/s tires. Would 26 in tires also hurt the performance much?

The mudlites are nice....the 26 inch tire may affect your bottom end a little but increase top end speed a bit

I have seen a few 4x4's with mudlites on them..... They look real nice, and the guys I have talked to said they ride very smooth for a mud tire....

I'm in the same boat, but every tire mentioned here is one I've looked at and they are all heavier than I want. Bias ply bighorns would be my choice if they still made them.

I have an '04 Grizzly and frequently ride at Wayne National Forest near Nelsonville. I installed Holeshot ATR tires on ITP C-Series wheels. I love this combination. They do great on the trails, they handle everything except serious mud-bogging. The C-Series also widen the wheelbase nicely to add cornering and sidehilling stability. I have also added some other steering modifications. If you are interested, let me know.

Vinson, I did look at the holeshots for a little while. I did not know if I liked them for the riding that I am going to do. I do however like the backup lights put on ANDY's 660. Twenty bucks at Walmart, how does they hold up? Don't you get mud on them from the rear tires?
How does your wiring on that work and how do you have the switch set up? Thanks to everyone who replied to this question. Maybe I'll see you on the Hatfield trails, just look for the 6'11" guy on the green 660. Kinda hard to miss.
