Default Scrambler 500 4X4 tires

Sorry I hit enter instead of tab. I'm looking to buy some new tires for my Scrambler, I kind of like the Holeshot ATR's or the ITP mud lites. Any suggestions?

2wd or 4wd?

If you like playing in the mud then the MudLites are your ticket, if you're into fast trail riding the get the Holeshots....

If you're into both, go with theMudLites [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the input guys, Yes it is a 4X4 and I'm kind of leaning towards the Mudlites, looks like they are a very good all around tire. Does any one know how they do in the sand?

They are much better than the stockers, but they are nothing compared to paddles.

there was a good write-up on a bunch of tires a few issues ago in ATVMagazine. they reviewed something like 25-30 different tires. i can't remember if they were all mud or all-around tires though.

i have read good things about the Lites.

i can tell you this......as a former owner of Outlaws, Outlaw Radials, and Bi/Tri Claws, i found WEIGHT to be a real issue. it robbs power and feels bulky and less playfull. IF i shop for other tires for my new 700EFI (if i don't like the Badlands that are on it), i will look very closely at the WEIGHT as well as the traction factor.

good luck,

sincerely,

Hey, there's an idea!

how about looking into the Badland Radials? Polaris claims they handle better, grip better, and weigh less. (i think they are comparing them to the former Rawhides they used-to use on the Sportsmans.

just a thought!!
