best tires for mud and rocks

That's what I'm into and that's what I need. What do you guys think is the best?

I've been a really big fan of the 589's....


But as you've read, I've recently switched to Big Horns. I won't be able to fully comment on "rocks" until the summer...but from what I've seen, all signs point to excellent.

For mud and rocks you might look into the 589, MudLite, Swamp Fox, Outlaw MST. From what I have seen on others machines the Bighorns are an outstanding all around, do anything tire that is hard to beat. If you are using them for a "mud" application, there are better setups out there. good luck

I was pretty much down to the Mud Lites and the 589's. Well I guess it will be a coin toss huh?

My friend just bought some 26" Swamp Lites and they are frickin sweet. I think I'mgoing to stick with 26's that seemed like a good size. But now I just have to decide if I want Mud Lites or 589's.

Yea good call. But I think that they are all within about $100 of eachother so I think that it might be my decision to. I just need some new tires bad. My fronts are gettin wore down pretty bad.

I think I'm going to go with mud lites. i'd like to try the 589's but every time I look at them I get a funny feeling about them so I don't know. I should probably be thinking more along the lines of a mud tire because my friend that got the swamp lites is wanting to start taking mudding to a new level and I got a feelin that were going to be gettin really dirty.
