My dad and I are picking up the new Rubicon either tomorrow or Friday (from Sunrise Honda in Searcy, AR), and we are opting for the upgraded wheel/tire package. I have narrowed it down to the 26" ITP Mud Lite's and the 589's. Which would be better for mostly trail riding, while still being very capable in the mud? There is a lot of mud down here sometimes, and I'd rather not stick the new Rubicon too much lol. I've ridden an ATV with the 589's, and it wasn't too rough, so ride isn't really an issue.

thanks everybody

Oh, I forgot to add that both tires are the same price, so price isn't an issue either.

thanks, and vote in the poll I added please. I don't know why I didn't do that to start with lol.

They are offering the Swamplites, but all tires that they offer are the same price. We are getting the tire/wheel combo option, which is the same price, no matter what wheel/tire combo you choose. I considered the Swamplites at first, but I heard they have a softer compound than the ITP's, which means shorter life. Is that true?

Well, we ended up going with the Mudlites, mainly because my dad liked them more and they weighed less. Since he's paying more than I am for the wheeler, I gave him the choice lol. He's picking it up right now, I'll hopefully have pics up by tomorrow afternoon.

thanks everybody

Got the Rubi today, finally. It's an '06, olive green, and we had the Mile Marker winch and larger rear rack put on it. Also had the 26x10-12 Mud Lites all around, mounted on ITP SS112's. I wasn't sure I'd like the chrome wheels, but now that I've seen them in person, they really set the rig off. I am absolutely in love with this ATV, and I can't wait to get pics up tomorrow.

Couldn't resist lol

Yeah, I haven't found anything bad enough to stick it yet, not even close...then again, the river hasn't come down enough to reveal the 'bad' trails on the hunting lease yet either
