Which do you guys prefer? I'm kinda stuck between the two lol I ride mostly trails and farm work. And would you guys use 26 or 27 on a 2012 foreman? I don't want to lift it or trim any plastic lol any help would be good and thanks in advance!

definetaly go with 27's, you will have plenty of room with the new foreman.... i would go with the swamps, great trail tire, but does well in everything

i have never owened eather tire but i have rode with people that have . thay are both great trail tires and handle muddy water well but not the greatest in thick mud (thay both ball up) good wet rock - log traction but the swamplites are a little better . in the snow the swamplites also win by a hair . price wise the swamplites are a he!! of alot cheeper
also the swamplites run a true to size or a little bigger
so i say the swamplite is the best bang for the buck out of the two .
you can run the 27in and not notice any hp lose or rub (no trimming )

good luck on whatever tire you buy ......rich

I run the swamplites in a 26in. They are a great all round tire. I ride trails, and some rocky ones too. Like Rich said they dont like real sticky mud.

Swamplites, because you can get them shipped for free from several online retailers. Highlifter wants $100 to ship a set of MST's outside of LA.

I got 27" SwampLites. They ride pretty good. The way you ride I would def get SwampLites. And def get 27". Click the PICS link in my signature and you will see that 27" fits just fine.

Who says you have to buy the tires from HL? The MST's are a far better tire all around than the Swamplite. They would be my choice hands down. Second only to 'Zilla's only because here in Canada HL's tires are extremely expensive, and somewhat hard to get.

I didnt know there were a great deal of distributors for the MST. I never said swamplites were a better tire. I said swamplites simply because shipping is outrageous on MST's.

HL has tons of distributors in the US. Just about every ATV dealer here in Canada can get them through Kimpex? if money is no object. Or you can check out their dealer locator to find a dealer near you.
