I am thinking about getting new tires for my Bayou 220. I want a tire that is good in the mud, but not to heavy for the Bayou.
Thanks for your help.

What size tire does it have now?

If it is the 22" there are quite a few options - Mud Machines and Super Swampers might be a good start

Happy Trails

my friend has super swampers and they do well, or they did untill he slicked them down riding on pavement. He didnt lose MUCH power just a little. He can still turn them in second gear in most cases. My friend has a 250 timberwolf with bear claws and they were very good and a good bit lighter than the swampers. The mud machines may be good too I've just never seen them in mud.

I used to own a Bayou220 with mud machines on the rear and the thing was real hard to get stuck the tires just kept digging and i moved thourgh deep slop. They do rob some power but if you get Douglas aluminum rims that will take off some weight.

Bearclaws, get the bearclaws. They are lighter than most tires and have a great bite. They are thick so you won't get a flat easy and did I mention they look great! I like the bearclaws best. The other tires I have tried: blackwaters, vampires, and realtors. All of these tires worked great but since I have rode on the bearclaws I'll continue to use them over anything else.
