I am close to getting some 27" Swamplites for my H1. Anyone have any last minute advice on them? I hear good things about these tires, but the one negative is that they wear too fast, is this true?
v2rider, how many miles are on yours and how are they holding up?
Also, $322 OTD is the best price for the 27"ers. Anybody know a place that can beat that?
Thanks so much.

weez, the H1 has such nice rims already though. Plus, if I got a new ATV I would keep these tires and rims and put the ones from the new ATV on the H1 when I do the trading. However I am thinking of keeping the H1 for 5 more years now that I got all this work into it. I added a rear flood light, a pod light, hand/thumb warmers, and a temp gauge. BR>
ANyway, some might buy my stock tires for $175, and if they do I will get either the 27" swamplights or 589's. How do you like yours weez?
Hey v2, I have less them 300 miles on my H1, so 700 is a lot to me

Yah, that list won't happen I am leaning more towards the 589's now, they are $365, and the lights are $320, so I might as well go with the 589's.

Oh man, just checked out some 27" Outlaw MST's!!!! I think they might be my new tire of choice! ANyone here have them????
Posted by: Catterman
Man, this is hard! I think the Outlaw MST will run about $380 for the 27". I found some used 28" 589's for $325...

you getting just the rubber or the rims to? when i bought aftermarket i got the tires and rims and am glad i did. one it is a pain in the butt to bring them in and have them mounted on the stock rims and two when you sell it and wanna keep your tires and rims for your next arctic cat all you gotta do is pull them off and put the stock ones back on with little or no wear on them. oh and i am taking for granted catterman that you are gonna be purchasing another cat.

yeah you notice them being a lil rough when you are driving about 2 mph but if you go through gumbo mud like i do then you know how bad it sticks and how it is important to have a good self cleaning tire with wide lugs. the mud lites are nice but i am not completely sold on them because they don't have the wide tread pattern. i was playing around in the ditch down our driveway that was solid mud and water when i must have spun on some nails and it sliced my sidewall wide open. i drove out of the ditch and drove it down the driveway with no air in the front tire and the rim wasn't even close to touching the ground and i noticed just a slight pull. this tells me that if i have something like this happen to me out on the trail i know i can limp home cause they are such a solid tire but it is heavy. i think mine with the steel rims are 48 pounds a tire, but then again you go the power to pull them easy.

a friend of mine has them. 27' ,real good tire on hard pack and mud. dont know about snow yet. hes got a bout 150 miles on them. nice tires, one inch lug. there bigger than the 27 itp 589's which is what i have. they're about one inch taller. i like them.

Mine are wearing fine Catterman, im very pleased. I think people who ride tar and gravels 75% of the time complain more about wearing. Mine still look new As for pricing, i called trax motorsports, and they matched the cheapest price, and gave me free delivery of all four wheels and tires, mounted, and with the decorative caps, and lugs. I will order from them again when i need tires again. Also, i think they have a sale on Swamplites right now! www.traxmotorsports.com

Cttaerman, i got the tires after i had 300 miles on the machine already, now i have about 1,025 after yesterday
Posted by: v2rider
LOL!!!! Your like me, a kid in a candy store when it comes to aftermarket atv parts.

I think they're both good tires, Catterman. I know people with both. The only complaint with either is that the grip on the 589's is kinda spaced out, which makes for a bit of a rough ride when your on a solid riding surface. Other than that both tires walk and talk in a mudhole. Good luck.
