He's not talking about regular mud lite's. The mud lite xt is the tire I want to hear about so buy the xt's. I planning to buy a set as soon as I sell my other two sets of tires. Also the xt's are lighter than the 589's and a bit heavier than the mudlite's.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

.........before you decide, you might want to look at the Dirt Devils.
I just put a set of 25" on my Eiger and am pretty impressed with them.

589s are way heavier but will wear alot better than the lites,probably last three times longer as well and better traction too,a little at least.The Dirt Devils will wear better again and are lighter than the 589s but the traction is not as aggressive as the lites or 589s.

I haven't noticed any power loss, but I haven't had a chance to really put them through their paces yet either.
One thing I did notice........on the stock tires, the front tires of the Eiger were not quite as tall as the rear, even though they indicate they are both 25". When I put the Dirt Devils on, they appear to be even all the way around.......and look much better. Stearing also seemed to improve.
