I got the new Mudlite xl's mounted today. Wow! What a difference over the stock carlisle's. It's like riding a totally different machine. No roll, much firmer ride. I can't wait to get them in some mud.

Another benefit I noticed is that my machine steers much, much easier now. I'm off for 2 weeks for Christmas so hopefully I can get in some good much over the break.

lol nice! hears something sad to hear...since my quad is so small 'a 250' i couldnt upgrade to 25s so i had to stay the same size as stock...22s....and with the stockers, i could turn em' in 2nd gear in deep water no problem....since my engine is so small...the mudlites are heavier and i can only turn em' in 1st gear in deep mud and water lol....its pretty sad but i still get through it all!

I've been satisfied with my mudlites too. You cant beat the performance on top of the light weight of the tire. It was hard to pass up the outlaws but once I had a chance to run the lites and saw the weight difference it was a no brainer

The cats will run 30's without a lift. I have a friend that runs 'em on his 500. I was plenty satisfied with the 28's though. Just stiffen the shocks and its no problem.

The cats have a ton of clearance for the biggest of tires, its a big plus for the avid mud boggers

I will be ordering my new Mud Lite XTR's for my AC 500 on Tuesday. I have only 400 miles on my bike, and the stock tires are annoying me already.

Anyone tried Maxis Bighorns or is this strictly a Mudlite crowd? I am only 300 miles into the factory tires and, yes, annoyed. Getting some serious buff shoulder and back muscles from yanking them around though...
