I plan on getting a Grizz in a few months, as soon as I sale my Wolvy. I want to put tires on it of course. I am prob going to stick with 25" 589mt or MAYBE 26" I don't really see an advantage to taller tires. I don't honestly think I will need the extra clearance. Won't larger more aggresive tires put more strain on the bike? I am sure the 660 has enough power to sling what ever size tires you can put on it.

Won't the larger diameter throw off the speedo, in turn the odometer? that would suck.

I ride mostly trails, but love mud. I have my stock 23" on my Wolverine now and it does fine (guess cause it is soooo light). I assume the 589mts are the best all around out right now. Not all mud, and not all all terain. I also like the bearclaws, but have seen them bog up easily on my bud's bike.

whatcha think?
