Look at ITP Mud Lites and GBC Grim Reapers.

Tires should be 25x8-12 in front and 25x10-12 in the rear. You could go to 26 diameter, but probably won't be necessary.

No prob. When you look at Mud Lites, know that there are43 kinds: Mud Lite AT, Mud Lite XTR, Mud Lite XL, and Mud Lite XXL. I have the ATs and I enjoy them. The XL and XXL are the same shape with progressively bigger deeper lug and the XTRs have a more aggressive tread.

My next set will be the Grim Reapers. I can not find a bad review on them and that has my interest.

I posted pretty much the same question for tires on my KQ500 and am really leaning toward these two. Price is good, people like them, and they have a pretty good tread pattern.

Newer Bear Claw
Kenda - Bearclaw HTR

My buddy is getting the newer Bear Claw to replace his front tires on his Arctic Cat 700 so I will give you the low down on them.

And from what I have read, everyone says ditch the stock air filter and go after market. I bought an UNI and has been running great since.

The Grim Reaper would be a great choice for an all around tire on your King. It is an 8 ply rated radial that has awesome traction and a comfortable ride.
