2005 Arctic Cat 500 Tires?

[JIsaac12]

Got a 2005 Arctic Cat 500, Its automatic, and 4x4. I have stock 25" tires right now but i am looking to go to at least a 26" but maybe a 27". been checking out tires and reviews and like the maxxis mud buggs, what do you guys think? I know on 650's you have to upgrade the belt, do i require this mod also? Other than mud bugs what are good tires for mud/ trails at a descent price?

Mud Bugs are a good tire. I would like a set of Kenda Executioners. I would say put a clutch kit on. You will be happier with the results.

u wont have to upgrade the belt as long as u keep the tires under a certain size...um u can get mudlites, gbc dirt devils, gbc grim reapers, zillas, there are many light weight a fairly cheap tires out there

Grim Reapers are a heavy tire like the Maxxis BigHorns. From what I have heard the Reapers give all round traction like no other tire. They are also 8 ply tires.

I just installed a new set of Maxxis Bighorns 2.0 on my machine. I heard nothing but good things about this tire. Can't wait to try them out.

I bought Maxxis Big horns in Feb and love those tires allot, talk about traction. They seem to get traction any where you need to go. I stayed with 25" tall because we climb allot of hills out here.:bow2:
