GOT MUDDY

Praire 650!!!! and polaris!! Thats Curse words!

Man when I bought my cat. I asked the dealer if it had a tool kit that comes with the bike. He said No. i said well how much would it cost me for one? He said wait a minute, will you be ridding with any Kawasokis or polaris and yamahas? I said Yea. he said then here this one is on the house. They will need it on the trail and you can help them out! That way you can still reamain buds on the trail,especially since you will be smoking them !!!hehe

i got a tool kit with mine it came under the seat. but anyhow my freind has a 450 forman with itp 589s there only 26x11x12s rear and 26x9sx12s front and he go's through the mud and snow as deep as his clearance will allow. he loves them and he says they were lighter than his stock one's. and i think there a good loking tire to. also at a good price. but i think the next set of tires i buy will be a 26 or 27 inch tire im not sure what kind but it will probly be gators again just a little shorter but i dont think i need 14 1/2inch's of ground clearance 13 would still be lots.

If you get a quad with a manly motor they dont have any trouble with 28's. Both my 650 prairie and 400sp can do wheelies [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Riding style has alot to do with mud tire selection. For example, I don't ride fast, high rpms, or out of 1st gear in a deep hole. I like to take it slow and easy and look for traction instead of just spinning through. It also keeps me alot cleaner, especially on a cat. Everyone has there own style of riding and for me a less aggressive tire wouldn't work as well. Not knocking the Lites, just a different stlye of tire I think.

They grip just fine! if I want to crawl I crawl. If i need to spin em in 2nd or 3rd i spin em in 2nd or third. I couldnt do it with the zillas.
