i loved my rancher 350 4x4. i could wip that beast sideways in turns. the early ranchers had weak frames and i broke the frame onmine and didnt pay a thing getting it fixed, recall.

and shouldnt the sport quad info be changed?

i'll be buying either itp atr's, maxis bighorns or their all-traks in the spring for my P700. i believe the atrs are the lightest. if your not going to be in mud all the time i'd stick to some kind of knobby or oem.

i think thier maxxis, thier called Big Horns. they got some big tread and are a great tire. i think the utility champ of the gncc(dont know his name) uses em.

Maxxis Mudbugs.... They are very smooth on the trails, and handle great in the mud. In my opinion, they perform better than the ITP Mud Lites on my cousin's Rubicon...

The utility champ is Mike Penland and they are MAXXIS BIG HORNS they are aggressive but smooth. I ride on 26 in. outlaws and they are the best mud tire you will ever find. However you will have a ruff ride at slow speeds but at an average pace they are not that bad on the trail either.

I like the ITP 589's that I have on my Prarie. I have ridden the bighorns too and the 589's ride as good, but have a better tread for the yukkie stuff.

My 589's are purty good all around. They wear well, also.

However, from what I hear, the MudBugs are pretty good all-terrain. I do a lot of mud, so I need better tread pattern than these.

ONE OF MY RIDING BUDDIES HAS THE MUDBUGS THEY ARE LIKE THE OUTLAWS BUT WITH LESS SIDE BITE AND THE TREAD IS NOT AS DEEP

The best tire by far is the Maxxis Big Horn. I ran them last year in 25 cross-country races and never had a flat. 16 races were on one set and I still practice on them. You won't go wrong with these. Tell Maxxis I sent YA!!!!!!: Qracer213@comcast.net

The best tires on the market are the ITP MUDLITES they work in every place the mud the snow and they are 6 ply MADE IN THE USA not oversees like the dirtdevils gbc crap!

Definately go for the Maxxis Big Horns or All-Traks. Those other tires are junk.

I am also in the Ute tire market right now, I was going to order Kenda Bear Klaws(my father in law has them on the rear says they aren't too bad) all around BUT a local gal w/ a 03 Kodiak has 489 Spider Traks? on C series wheels w/ the fancy caps ect she is going to sell me for $300 :eek2: :eek2: I can't go wrong there, heck I checked the prices on JUST the rims!! I am also purchasing a steering stabilizer from her for $40 :D

She says these tires are GREAT on the trails, we ride the same places. I can't wait to put them on the ol Kodiak heck it's gonna be Pimpin ;):) LOL

I HAVE AND SUGGEST THE itp MUDLITES these tires are the best and traction in insanely awesome they are considerbily less heavy than others out there which means more power
