Ya guys i don't know what to get gators or 589 m/s.I ride alot of trails but do go in the mud sometimes and play around for a while i also hit some deep mud hole that are on the trails.I ride in some rocks,and snow.I relly need a tire that is going to kind of be an all around tire but still good in the mud and relly good in the snow.Well i mean in the deep snow about a 1foot and they have to climb some ok size hills in the snow because we have to go up hills on the trails form where i live.I know a guy who has 25 inch gators on a 2wd big bear.He told me get the gators they wont ride as roung,wear as fast,and almost have as much tread as the 589's.He says it would be pretty hard to make turns with the 589's.Ya i heard the 26's and up size gators have more lug than the others.IF so do you guys think they would have almost as much tread as the 589's?The reson i want to know this is.Because my birth day is in about 12 days.So my parents kind of want top order them in the next 3 days.So that they will be here on my birthday so i can try them out.
somebody's spoiled...go with the gators..my friend has them on his recon & my other friend has the 589's on his foreman & you'll get more bang for the buck with the gators....You done messed with the wrong coooow.....wheres my PLYWOOD?

I had 589's on a Rancher. Other than killing the power, they worked great. I haven't had any experiences with the Gators.

oh man
my buddies from work ride rubicons...both with gators thost tires are ungodly awesome....when they bite youd better hang on...
we rode today and he dipped that rubicon in a very large mud pit...that would have come to my waste...and im 6'1
this hole is meant for trucks....not quads....with a 2 inch lift and wheel spacers that rubicon might as well be a truck
anyways...he hit the hole...and he had to rock the quad a little....but he pulled out of it...because of the tires...
a vtwin kawi 650 tried it.....NO
A grizzly tried it..............NO
A rincon tried it........Yes...because he too...had gators

GUys my friend told me to get the 589's he use to be a big mud bogger and now he races.I think i might just get the 589's.He had one of the best mud bogging tires highlifter outlaws.
ull lose alot of power getting to those mud bogs, with the gators you'll get still have your power & be able to make it out of the mud holes with no prwoblem. those heavy 589's might acyually give you some tranny trouble too one day/.

Try the 589 M/T's. We have them on our 4x4 and I have never got stuck anywhere. They are also lighter than the 589 M/S and won't kill the power as bad.

my friend has 589s on his sportsman 400, and before he had those stock sprtsmans are actually fast quad for a 4x4, but now it is soooooooooooooooooooooo slow its amazeing, taking off you start off at a joging speed not even but on the trails in the mud and water he has NEVER gotten stuck and hes gone through some swamps that looked impossible the luch is like a inch anda half deep easy

Highlifter Outlaws would get you anywhere we got 28inchers on my dads 450es with Highlifter Lift Kit,Warn2500 winch,supertrapp ids2 exhaust, custom snorkel and cast aluminum wheels work great but if your not that much of a hardcore mud rider id go with some Gators, Mud Bugs,Vampire ASX, or some 589s
