I just picked up a brand new 570 Full Size and I am possibly looking at changing out the tire and wheels. Regarding the tires I am curious which models to look at as there are so many out there to choose from! I would be riding mostly on gravel forestry roads, hard pack dirt, some mud and rocks. I understand the Ranger comes with 25" tires now but I would like to get something bigger to fill out the fenders a little better. I will not be lifting it but if I do in the future it would just be a 2" lift. The rims I would go with would be 14" but I want to be cautious not to rob power from the 570 with the bigger rubber too. Any suggestions would be great!!

I'd go with 26" Bighorns. That's about as large as you can go without a lift.

What would be the biggest tire with a 2" basic lift?

You can clear a 27" with a 2" lift. A 28" will rub slightly at full turn during suspension travel......but if you can live with a slight rub, they will fit.

Will these bigger tire kill the power on a 570 FS?

I am looking at the Moto MTC, Ripsaw's and Bighorns on 14" M20's. At least that's what's on the brain as I type this.

I also have a FS 570 and looking at 28 Mongrels with M20 14 inch Black Matte rims. Will I need forward arms or lift to run these?

If you run a 26-27 inch tire, you shouldn't notice much power difference if any at all. For the type of riding you described, I would suggest either the MTC or the Bighorn. The MTC is essentially a Bighorn on steroids with a deeper tread. Both will ride smooth on hard pack and perform well in most applications. But coming from a person running MTC's on two different rangers, they have my vote! Hope this helps..

For the 570, 26" Bighorns would be the ticket. I ran 26" Bighorns for a year or so. They were good but didn't have the weight handling capability that I needed, with the weight of my machine I would go over the factory weight ratings whenever a passenger got in. Putting a load in really overloaded them. The Bighorns did great in pretty much all types of riding I did.

I would at least look at the Roctanes, they are similar to the Bighorn just more durable rubber and an 8ply. I've had four sets of Bighorns and I can honestly say these Roctanes are a far superior tire in every way.

Ditto.......same here.

Roctains compared to MTC's?

I think you'll get more life out of the MTC because of the harder rubber, but I think the Roctane is a better riding tire. These Rangers are heavy and anything less than an 8 ply tire is going to have some side wall flex. I would go look at both tires in person and the make your decision.
