THANKS TO ALL!

Go with the zillas. For what you want them to do, this is exactly what you need.

Dunno why Polaris and Can Am are the only ones to put decent meats on their upper end quads.

Have both the Maxxis Bighorns and the AMS Swamp Fox.

Almost 3000 on the Bighorns and still going strong. Great all around tire and the longevity is awesome.

Not alot of miles on the Swamp Foxs, but they are also a good all around tires. They do grab the turns much better than the the Bighorns. I am lloking to swap out my Bighorns with the AMS Swamp Fox Plus tires when i do.

any input on 498's ?
i see their stock on polaris

im still a little lost on tires, pressure, type
id imagine the crap maxxis on my grizz 450 are bias
we set the pressure at 3 lbs but it felt like they where going to slip off the rims so i filled them to 4lbs but they still feel/ look "flat" i really dont want to much higher b/c it rode and bounced like a dumptruck with 5 lbs
id imagine the radials with the weaker sidewall would be the same or worse in the squating dept
also ive been leaning toward duro big horn knock offs they come in radials... smoother ride
but im scared they will pack with mud and squat like my stocks

never had any trouble with my Duro's. they are not a great mud tire, but they do very well.

I hear ya Chris. The first 1500 miles on mine were great, but just in these last 500 miles, expecially this last weekend I've had to put 5 plugs in mine, too. There is only one tire anymore without plugs.
