Hi AKFIREMAN the mudlites from what i've seen and heard are a very good tire, especially for the money the only bad thing i've heard is they are made with a very soft rubber compound an tend to wear a little faster I was considering buying them aswell and came across the gators they are a natural rubber base inturn will be a lot more durable tire but are alittle more pricey. Saw the post and thought i'd help.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I was thinking the same, fufighter, but i think the soft rubber is going to be a plus in the snow, not really sure which way i want to go but cost is alot of the equation. and since the mud lites are lighter i wont worry about going up to 27" tires. Thanks for the reply.

 

well let me tell you about the mud lites.
theres this hill we have to go up to get to the cabin , well last week the hill was all rutted out and frozen solid i tryed to go up it and got almost all the way up and it started to spin and i slid back down well i tryed 3 times and couldent do it.
so my bud jay says let me try, so i came back up the other side and he went down and up the other side like a goat. now i know that all 4 wheels were spinning on the rube and thats deffanetly a big plus.
but i also think that the soft rubber helped on the ice.
after he whent up i said try it again , so he did and up he went again.
so then i said that i have to try again so i when down one side and hit the other side in therd gear low
and was giving her bullets and i made it spinning 3 wheels all the way.
then we said to our other buddy to try with his stock rube and he couldent eaven get half way up so i draged him up with my winch.
but anyways thay also worked ok in the deep snow, but because thay are rounded like a stock tire thay tend to spin and dig into the snow when it wet and packing and sink where as my gators are flat and pack the heavy snow down under the tires and i ride ontop.
but i must agree with fufighter with the softer rubber thay will ware faster and i've got 1700 miles on my gators and the only ware is thay are starting to round off on the edges but thats it.
the mud lites are also lighter then my gators by about maybe 10 lbs.
P.S>fufigther i run 3psi in my tires all year around.
last time i checked them i dident have enuff air in the tires to show on the gauge and the still looked ok.
but i try for 3 psi

 

fufighter it was time for a change anyway.
hes wereing some yellow glasses with black frames and that the nose peace your seeing.
but i did laugh my *** off looking at it and im going to show my buddy bob his picture then im going to laugh some more.
thanks for pointing that out.
