Anyone got any experience (good or bad) with Maxxis Mud Bug tires? I'm thinking about giving them a try based on price and weight.

I have a followup. Anyone have trouble mounting 27" tires on stock steel rims (I have a Yamaha). Someone told me that the tire height was too tall for stock rims and I'd have trouble breaking the bead away from the rims. Let me know if anyone out there has this trouble or if someone's just trying to sell me rims.
