Who claims to have the best tire setup for the Grizzly660
I have an '04 with 26" ITP 589 M+S and it seems to put a damper
on engine power trying to turn those massive meats. I'm not a mudder
in most respects and trail riding seems to be it for me. We went to Blairsville, GA
over a week ago and the steep trails were a little scary sitting on those
26" tires. What about Bighorn Radials? Any help would be appreciated.


.04 Grizz
589 on ITP C
Warn winch
Full front bash plate
brush guard
Full skids

To hell and back, just head for them there hills.

 

you could go with dirt devils

 

I also vote for dirt devils. The 26” size are the best trail riding tire I’ve found so far for the Grizzly. Decent grip (not as good as 589’s though) but better than the stock tires, they are 6 ply so they are tough, and it is relatively easy to powerslide that big IRS quad with them.

Besides the stockers, I’ve had 25” ATR Holeshots and 27” 589s, but the 26” dirt devil combination (26x12x12 rears and 26x10x12 fronts) works best for the Grizzly that I’ve experienced. I also have them mounted on ITP C-Series wheels which widen the machine’s stance by about 4 inches, improving the stability of the machine...

 

Take a look at the ITP Wetlands, just put a set on in place of some Gators. Much better for hard pack trail rides, still open enough for mist mud. They are much lighter, I went up to 26" and can turn them better than the 25" Gators

 

Thanks alot for the info...this helps with my decision on tires alot
easier.

YOU MIGHT ALSO WANT TO CHECK OUT THE MUDLITES. I HAVE 27'S ON MY GRIZZ AND LOVE THEM.

 

.....I have 26" Mudrunners on Douglas rims for a wet and muddy trail time.The best tires I have ever had and I will not buy anything else ever. Selfcleaning is excellent.

For summer I have 25 Spider trak 12,5 rear and 10 front on C rims.Makes the quad ery stable and fast. Power cornering 's very good ... No power loss here.

The Mudrunners take some power out, but I can only see it when racing my friends SP500 ho.

The spider trak is also considered a mud tire....it is a joke, it gets caked up immediately, just like any similar so called mud tires.

for my next tire i will either go with the 26-10-12 the whole way around on my kodiak or dirt devils 26-10-12

does anyone know where i can find a weight chart for mud tires??

 

I have the Dirt Devils (27's) on my Grizz. They are ok but not all that great in the mud. A buddy of mine has a set of 26" Gators and I'm am freakin impressed with them. They dig like mad! And do very well on the trail. He has them on a 400 Big Bear, and they don't require a monster engine to pull them.

 

Ridinhigh, I agree about the dirt devils not being a serious mud tire. If serious mudding is on your agenda then you wouldn’t want them. However if you do occasional mud (nothing too deep) but most of your riding is on hard pack, dirt or rocky trails the dirt devils are great. I wouldn’t recommend them for a powerful SRA quad because they may not have enough grip and spin too easily. However for the IRS Grizzly they seem to be a good match especially if you like to do fast trail riding because they slide really well and easily (and they are stable because of their stiffness). I’ve never had them in deep snow so I don’t know how they do there. When winter time comes I switch over to my 27” 589’s on the Grizzly.

As for the Gators – they are a great tire if mudding is a little more important to you. They are also great for loose terrain condition (like coal piles) and also good in the snow. I put Gators on my Vforce (same 22” size as the stock tires) and the traction gain was great, made a big improvement for snow and mud riding. I’ve never tried Gators on a 4WD machine before, but I’ll find out pretty soon how they are because I just got a set for my Brute Force (26x12x12 rears and 26x10x12 fronts).

Note that with aggressive tread tires the tread depth increases dramatically when you cross that 25” barrier (tires sizes of 26” and larger)...
