Stock tires are worn out on the wife's Recon.I'd like to stick to something close to stock size.

Mudlights!
Yep what atv hunter said!
as much antimudlite as i am, for a recon they'd be great
Is a MUDLITE available in the stock size(22x10-9 rear and 22x7-11 front)?
Nope
what size would you recommend? what about rims? I'd like to keep the stock rims.
how about gators? they come in stock sizes.
I'm afraid Gator's would be too aggressive for trail riding.Most of the trails are gravel/sand and logging roads are hardwood with some mud.
gators are nifty if you have teh power to turn em
i had a 02 recon on 22 inch gators for my girlfriend and they worked great
I just went through this with my sons Recon. Nobody (worthwhile) makes 22in for front and rear that fit the oddball size rims that the Recon has. I went with 25 in Mudlites and put a 2 inch HL lift kit on it. I didn't notice any difference in speed believe it or not. This thing hangs with my Foreman now and it looks freakin sick to boot.
BY the way, GBC is no longer making Gators from what I found out so the only Gators that you'll find is what people already have in stock.
no longer making gators
You might try putting your stock tires on it . The stock tires are not hard to turn, plus you will gain a little G/C and not have to worry about the odd wheel size.

Dirt Devils come in 22 inch.

Here is a link for cheap tires as well.

They only come in 22's for the rear form what I found. Matter of fact thats what I had on our Recon before switching to the Mudlites.
Keep in mind that they're called mud "lites" for a reason. The 25 in mudlites are almost the same weight as the 22 in dirt devils.
Here is a pair for the rear. You may want to contact the seller and see if he can get the size for your front. I have the same tires on my Foreman in 26" and really like them.

Treadepot.com they have gators pretty cheap. brother had them on his recon and they did great. he went through one mud hole that some one put tack strips in and got 32 tacks in his tires. none of his tires went flat when we took them out. their tough tires
They no longer make Dirt Devils either.
