Ton of different tires out there that are good. What type of riding do you do?
In general I put tires in 3 categories.
1. Hard pack terrain, road riding, rocks, dry trails - tires like the Kanati Mongrel, Tusk Terrabite, Tensor Regulator - these all basically look like a truck mud terrain radial.
2. More difficult trails, some mud and wet trails - Blackwater Evo, Roctanes, Maxxis Carnivores, etc...
3. More mud and slick trails - all type of full on mud tires out there....usually don't recommend those unless you are mainly just interested in playing mud holes.
I run the SuperATV Intimidators which hover between 2 and 3 above. They are a little more aggressive than what I was looking for but bought them used along with a set of beadlocks pretty cheap. Pretty happy with them and they work great when it's greasy out (like Haspin last weekend) but still ride smooth. They are not very good if you want to do work around the yard because they are tougth on the grass. No way I would buy them new because of the crazy high price.
A friend ran a Viking for years and had 28x11-14 Swamplites on it with a stock suspension. The larger tires really helped it off-road and would just barely rub in some conditions. It also did okay with the stock clutching though later on he did upgrade to a JBS clutch and it made a pretty big difference.
