I was wanting to get some tires that will perform well in the snow. I'm debating between the 589's or the itp mudlite xtr's. Also, would it be better to go with 27 inchers or 26?

 

Welcome! 26' Bighorns work great!

 

I would probably stay with the 26". The bigger you get the more likely you are to need clutching changes. I have the XTRs and love them so far. The only thing I haven't tested them on is deep snow. I've been through deep mud and water, big rocks, and hard and soft pack. They've been excellent. 589s are tough tires that will get you through just about everything but will not have as nice a ride as the XTRs.

 

Im still waiting on my 26 bighorns,my shop where i bought my atv had to order from TX so probably after the new year,but i live in New England and we get hamered with alot of snow,so i'll let ya know how they run.

 

It is really hard to beat a set of chains for snow.

 

Thanks guys I bit the bullet and ordered some Big Horns with 26 inch aluminum ITP's.

 

Great choice. They are a nice looking tire.

 

I just put a set of Bighorn 2.0 on my wolverine. I love the look of the tire. Going riding tomorrow will let you know how they do in the snow and mud.

 

Well got the Bighorns on,they look mean as hell! but i do notice some more wabble and more sliding in the snow than my stock Dunlops,, anybody else seeing this???

 

I noticed a slight wobble when I went to a bigger tire. Not bad.
