Hello,
I have an 03 Arctic cat 500i.
I want to get some tires, will the 27inch mudzilla's take away alot of power?
How hard on the drivetrain will they be?
Thanks!

 

I rode a 03 500i with 28x10 mudzillas on it. It was an awsome machine. Probably lost some power as those ARE big tires. But still had lots of grunt in the mud. Spun the tires and threw lots of mud everywhere. That machine was un-stop-able[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Almost bought it but didn't have the cash at the time. I'm sure the top end speed was a little slower but boy was it GREAT in the mud. Hope this helps.

unless you plan on rideing in alot of mud you might want to look at another tire there not called mud zillas for nothing. i have 28x10x12 gators on the front and 28x12x12gators on the back and there a sweet tire thay work great on all terrains. i did the toughest ride ever yesterday it was 5 miles up a mountainside of pure hell it took me and 3 other guys five and a half hours to get to this snowmobile cabin. thats aprox 1 mile an hour. and two hours an twenty min to get back down and the tires were awsom i went through spots where the other three guys had to get off a walk them through ground clearence rules in the rough and muddy sections and on the rocky areas they grip great, i only have 3psi in my tires and they just mold around the rocks for great traction if i was gonna buy a new set of tires i would get a set of gators or the mudlites eather ones a great tire.gators cost more and are heaver than the mudlites also. but i will say the gators are worth every penny. oh ya i'll be posting some pic's of the ride in the next day so chech them out.

 

Mudzillas are good but are very heavy, the heaviest mud tire you can buy I think. They are not the best mud tire though. Try outlaws or vampires for a lighter better mud performing tire. Ask CatKrazy why he doesn't run his mudzillas anymore, they are to heavy, take to much power away and are at greater risk of busting a CV or an axle.

I would recommend some mudlites, 28x10x12 and 28x12x12.
