picking up my new 05 monday. Want to get new tires and rims but cant decide. First, 26 or 27 inch tires. The quad will have the dynatek power module if that helps. Second, either ITP mudlites or the ITP 589 M/S. I put them on for hunting seaon. Mostly woods and some mud and snow. No work really, thats why i keep the stockers. Any help would be great. Thanks everyone.

thanks for the replys so far. So, nobody thinks the 27inchers will rob too much power??? Anybody know the tread depth of the 589s and the mudlites?? Thanks again for everything

Of the sizes and tires you mentioned I would go with the 27" 589s.

i got the 27 inch 589's on mine and i do believe they are a lil more aggresssive in the mud then the mud lite's and i would deffinately go with 27's again in a heartbeat over 26's but i do think the mud lites are a smoother riding tire seems like you always have more rubber on the ground with them but they don't have the cleaning capabilities as the 589's you will notice a lil power loss but like said earlier on this thread the handling difference will make you not wanna put on your stock tires i thought the 589's were roughly an inch deep

hey formula that is a good point and in alot of cases it is true but with the 650 you got the power where you can spin them just as fast as the 26 inch tires plus you gain a half inch of ground clearance which can make or break ya and glad to hear other people are as impressed with the mudzilla's as i am i don't have any but i watched this guy on a 500 polaris ho with them and them things keep grabbing itp makes a great mud tire for the price for mudzilla's are more expensive but i think they would be worth it you just gotta watch out cause them things throw alot of big rocks

if it were me i'd probably just get the 26" 589s. why go with the 27, do you really need that big of a tire? i don't think i would and you're getting the same tread.

I do have to agree with fetch, the 589's are pretty awesome in the snow. I don't know abou the mudlites though. But I do know that both are very good tires. I am sure you can't go wrong with either choice. Me personally, I would go with the 27's!

With the incresed traction and stability of either aftermarket tire, you will completely forget about any small loss of power with the power plant bolted on that 650. Believe it or not, with the thicker sidewall than the stockers, you will feel a difference in handling of your machine when cornering and just plain trail riding. I am not exactly sure about the depth of the tread on the mudlites, but I believe the 589's are just over an inch.

All I have to say is Outlaws any size. Let the tire do the talking, they work good in any soft terrain. Sand, deep mud,wet clay.

Just bought a 05' 650 last week and put 27'' mudlites on it , not as smoooth as the OEM goodyears but man can this cat climb, also gave me 14'' of clearance. I'll never go back to anything smaller.

i had 589,s on my old prairie .they are great tires.also my buddy just got mudlites on his atv i tried /tested them .they are great too .i think you will like either choice
Posted by: spikeland
i think the mudlites are an inch and a 1/4 and seem to be the same or very close to the 589s

From the Excessive Page:
28" Mudzillas are KILLER in the mud. At 38 mph on the road, there is an imbalance that would like to shake my teeth out! This thing will go everywhere (in 2wd) that I could in 4wd! As far as robbing powrer? Well, it will still do serious wheelies in low! Enough power? I have to admit, they are a touch excessive. I put them on the ITP aluminum wheels. I may throw some other 27" on the stock wheels and try to sell those scraps they call Rawhides that came on it. They roll over and make the wheeler push hard,when hitting the hard trail and pavement.

Funny you should mention the rocks, weez. I found about that FIRSTHAND on Sunday. Now I know why they say wear a helmet.

Whats up buckmaster,just to throw you my opinion the 589's are pretty damn good in the mud & snow situation,a few of my friends have 600 grizzlies and have 27 inch 589's on them and they were breaking trails in about 12-15 inches of snow sometimes running in 2 wheel drive. If i didnt see it myself i would have called them liars..... just my opinion good luck in what ever you choose...
