I would not get tires any bigger than what I have. They rub the fenders on heavy bumps...


26" x 9 and 26 x 12


The fronts are more sensitive to the width/height than the rear, because of the fender.


The 2005's....have TONS of room. Big improvement.

Yeah....Jack, Terry, Miren and I all have 589's. They're definitely not the best tire for trail riding. I kept my 2 sets of Rawhide, in case we go trail riding.
