Well you can get outlaws in a 29.5 and they are a way better tire in the mud. OR mudzilla makes a 30 now.

Every one I know that has them Loves them...not the 29.5's but the swamplites.....AND the reason they are not cleaning right is the bike is not powering them..
....I could not see cutting lugs....Maybe on Super Swampers for a truck...but Not ATV Swamplites....

Dude if I was you I'd go for a smaller more agressive tire, from what I'v heard and seen of the swamplites their not very ''light'' and dont really mud all that well.If you want an agressive tire that will trail ok and hang with the laws in the mud [almost] check out the bi/tri claws.

I wouldn't run 29.5"s on that bike. It's just not big enough. You can try but watch those axles. And why would you trade a winch for bigger tires? Your going to get stuck worse with less chance to get out.
I'd go with 28" Mud Bitches.

edls would be worse than any of the outher tires IMO.Some 27'' outlaws would be good.I still recomend the bi/tri claws, GREAT tire

The edls have a 2inch lug and dig straight to the bottom so if theirs no bottom...you dont go anywhere and their VERY heavy I highly doubt a rubi could spin them even with bolt on mods.And maybe the reason the bi/tris wernt very good with you was because it was a RANCHER, a little 350.The bi/tris will run with any other mud tire and smoke them on the trail and they wear like iron.IMO the bi/tris are the best all around mud tire.

BTW 589's will not outmud bugs or gators.Maybe the person didnt no what they were doing idk but I'v seen 589's, my uncle has them on his vinson at mudfest I followed him throu most stuff on my 300 with stockers I only got stuck when I got hung up.My bugs got just as big or slightly larger tread than the 589's.Plus the 589's are way heavier and clog up much easier.

Well can I ask you something jimmy? What tires do you have right now on your bike? When you give advice you can say what you run and say how they work but unless you have ran a number of different tires then you cant go bashing everything else that isnt yours.
As for the EDL's, I would go with those before the swamplights cause they look like a better mudtire. The swamplights look more along the lines of a smaller tire that you would use throttle and wheelspin to mud with. The EDL's would be a better tire because with a 2in lug they wouldnt take near as much throttle to mud with. I mean if you punched it with the edls you would probably dig 4 big holes but if you drive them right they would be the better choice.

And I was just giving an opinion from what I'v heard/seen
I'm not saying the edls arnt good, their one of the best mud tires made[would blow swamplites outta the water] just would be hard to spin and really arnt needed from florida mud.

Nah I'm sorry if it seemed like I was bashing them my badd.And the bugs wow if you see them on the net they dont like that mean but when you see them in person their awsome.I havent had them in anything yet but my side lot but they hook up well and sling sand everywhere, its great they look to be a BIG improvement over stock I highly reccomend them.They also ride smooth too.

I MIGHT be getting Mudbugs but the damn asswhole thinks Im stupid and wants 500.They are like brand new tho they only have one ride and I was there when he rode and took them off(I was on the back)They were on a Rancher just like mine so I know they will fit.And they look so agressive in person the pictures online dont give em any justice.Those are my next tires for sure.

I got my mudbugs with the rims and shipping for $538 so $500 just for tires aint much of a deal.

Dont quote me on this but I think the bug runs between $60-$80 depending on size so really $300 would be good maybe $350
