Reasoning I went this route was to keep weight down as you know that our machines as reliable as they are they are not snot pouring fire breathing dragons of horse power.

I was out yesterday in two feet of snow 2nd and 3rd gear just pawing through everything....even broke through ice on a slough and pinned it as water and slush was flying every where...pucker factor but they bite and got me out of a hairy situation.

2004 Honda fourtrax 350 FM

Just some food for thought,

Good luck.
Did the same sizes on all my quads including my 420 electric shift, but in the bear claws. I wouldn't do it again with this quad as the gearing is too high and it has little torque compared to the manuals.
In my 96 and 99 with manual transmission, torque was not a problem and the bear Claws in that size were awesome.
The smaller tread design on the mud lites will save around 3.5lbs per tire.
If you've got an automatic/electric shift without low range like mine, I'd consider the lighter tires, otherwise not really a concern.

I went with the Taxion Gripper MAX, 8 ply radial. Love them so far. I didn’t want the extreme mud tires since I’m not a mud bogger type. Those combined with diamond tire chains and it works great in the winter too. I run a Honda 500 Foreman ES

Maxxis Zillas. There is a reason ATV shops sell so many of them. Light, super durable, wicked traction, smooth at low speeds on hard ground. Don't hear much bad about them which says something.

I ran 26" Swamp Lites on my 450ES...great tire, smooth ride.

On my Rhino, I run 27" XTR Mud Lites. Been a great tire.
