I’m just new to the forum and relatively new to the world of ATV’s. I have a 2009 Outlander Max XT with low mileage however I’m thinking of replacing the stock Carlisle’s. One has a cut in the sidewall repaired by Slime at the moment, and another has a plug that is starting to leak again. Since they’re six years old, maybe its best to replace than spend $$$ on repairs.

Most of my riding will be on trails, wet and dry. There can be a fair bit of mud but I’m not one to go looking for it to get my shits and giggles. Wife will be with me on the back a fair amount of the time too.

I’d appreciate any advice on….

1. Should I stick with Carlisle’s or not?

2. Should I up the size a bit. (Currently 25×8 R12 in front and 25×11 R12 in rear.)

3. Is there any particular brand/model of tire that performs well on Outlanders or brands/models to stay away from?

Thanks in advance for suggestions & advice.
