i have a foreman 4x4 s 500. my family rides it with me so i cant go to big. thie bike is all stock. im being told a million and three things....hers the choices.....

1. bi/tris 27"?

2. mud lights 27?

3. 589?

4. should i be looking at 27" or 26"?


if you dont see the answer that you think is the right one, please list it. we mostly ride in south florida and go in mud. some trails. please help a new guy who is totally confused!

ohhh i forgot....i do plan on doing a pipe, jets, and air cleaner but it may take me a few months to get it and i still want to be able to turn them. i dont have any plans of lifting our 4 wheeler. thanks everyone in advance!

I would go with the bi/tri's, good on the trail and in the mud.

bi/tri's

good to see Palm Beach County making a presence around here lately

Go for #1 it was the first to come to your brain and is the best choice, IMO

 

[chris#5]

hey deadmullet. you going to david allen coe? do us pb county residents a favor and buy 18,000 acres and let us all ride on it for free....j/king..........does your 4 wheeler turn your tires ok and do you have a pipe and jets?? thanks everyone for the info.

will the bi/tris do ok with the family? i have a 12 and 14 year old.

nope, not a David allen coe fan and i am going to play on my new toy this weekend:twisted:

I do have all the bells and whistles....HMF,K&N,Dynojet kit...etc. and my bike turns the bi/tri's fine. in fact last weekend at L-cross i pretty much went everywhere in 2 wheel drive(obviusly there were a couple of exceptions )

you do have to feather the throttle a little bit when going through deep mud or the tires tend to dig down a bit but they are a HUGE upgrade from the 26" 589's i had before these. I also believe these tires are lighter than my 589's were, because i swear my bike is faster now than with the 589's on it plus they are just as smooth if not smoother than my previous tires.

in my opinion there are really only 2 choices in tires for the riding conditions down here, bi/tris and 29.5's.

as far as that 18,000 acres go, good luck...the county keeps buying all the good pieces, and deeming it wetlands.
I am honestly considering getting a Rhino just so i can go in Corbitt area and play. theorectically all off road vehicles are allowed in there as long as it has a wheel base longer than 60".....that means no 4 wheelers but they didnt have Rhino's when they made that rule

 

[chris#5]

well how do the bi/tris do just riding around? does it rattle your 4 wheeler? remember i have kids and a wife riding this thing!

 

[foreman lover]

they are almost as smooth as stock. you will not have any problems with them. the only time they do ride rough is if you are under 5 mph even then its not really rough just alittle bumpy. you will not regret getting the bi / tris.

with the choices you have here i would go with the claws. another tire is the kenda executioners. they are a little bit more of a trail tire compared to the claws but they are also good in mud.
