Default Got my new tires and wheels on today

Bought me some 27 12x12 mudlites and c series cast wheels the otherday

Man I didnt realize how much HP i lost with those Zillas.

I dont know how well they mud but i did climb so pretty steep hill and ran through a few ditches.
I can sling the SH%t out of them. They are 10.5 lbs lighter than my zillas. not to mention the wheels are lighter than my factory wheels. My kitty is looking good to. Sylin and profillin. i will et you know how they do in the mud soon

You say you lost HP with your zillas. Where did you notice the most lost? Was it in you top end speed, acceleration, or on the bottom end? Could you still turn them in the DEEP mud (read fling)? When I replace my stolen quad I am thinking of the 500i but want to put 28x10s all around. I'm real anxious to hear how they do in the mud. Especially the deep mud. I bet the mudlites were quite a bit cheaper than the zillas also.

Oh yea. I can turn them fine. I lost acceleration in my mid, but top end only dropped a couple of mph. My low end it didnt bother,Thats all i ride in is the deep stuff. It just feels alot more spunky now,like when i had the stock tires on. Im still going to use my zillas. cant give them up. I dont think there is a better tire out there,but some just as good. You have to also realize the zillas are the heaviest tire out there.

Yes I realize that the zillas are quite heavy. Pricey too. I'm glad the 500 can handle them though. Let us know how those mudlites are in the mud please.
