Gator or Mudbugs in 26x10 on the front and 26x12 on the rear. They will fit fine and are wicked tires.

ITP Mud Lites. I just put some on my Warrior and it will go anywhere now. The would work great on a 4x4.

Hey Shadowmaker - where are you located in VA? I'm up in Centreville.

if you are looking for a more agressive tire for mud i would suggest Gators or mud bugs(practically same tires) they are also very smooth on hardpacked i cant even tell the difference between them and my stock tires except they mud a heck lot better and give more ground clearance

You should be fine with the 25" since that is stock size. I suggest the Mudlites in stock size or 26". The 25" 589s dont get the bigger lugs. So I would go with the 26" mudlites, get the bigger lugs and probably will be lighter too.

26" Mud Lites Way bigger tread than 25"s

If low gear is out you have bigger problems. I hope you mean it doesn't have a low RANGE. Niether does the Warrior the guy above talks about. He says it goes anywhere now. The ITP Mud Lites and 589's both have 1 1/16" tread depth in the sizes 26 inch and over, and the much smaller tread in the 25" and under. decide what you want. Both are 6 ply tires.

I know that titan 489at work great in all around conditions on my brothers ac 250, but for a kodiak i would go with 489xt or 589. My brother wants to get a kodiak 450 and want to put either these 2 tires on it.
