I'm tired of getting stuck in the mud and water all the time, what kind of 22 inch mud tire out there has the deepest lugs? Or are they all the little wimpy 7/8" tread? I know most of them step the tread depth down for anything smaller than a 25", but I was hoping there would be something really nasty in the smaller size. If I go any bigger than that, I fear I'll be changing my sprockets all the time to compensate for the larger diameter, because I'll be switching them around with 18's when I go to the mx track and just playing around at home.

Thanks guys, and if this question has already been asked 100 times, sorry.

 

gators-1in lug swamplites-1in lug itp589-1in lug vampire-1.3in lug all i could find in 22in quickly hope this helps

 

are ALL the vampires definitely 1.3"? I just want to make damn sure before I spend any money on them, because I know many of the mud tires out there have smaller lugs for the light tires.

 

i had friend measure a new 22in vampire with digital caliper 1.3in on the money also you can go to www.mudthrowers.com they have tire specs for most all tires hope this helps

 

Thanks so much, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Vampires it is then!

Yeah, I think they'll be perfect for the trail and mud riding I do. My worn out cheng shin shredders just aren't doing the trick. 1.3" tread on a 22 is almost ridiculous, that's deeper than the 28" Swamp Foxes on my buddy's Eiger. Ridiculous is what i'm going for though, i'm tired of getting stuck. At that price I won't be using them all the time, for about $100 shipped I can get a set of MX tires mounted on wheels from rockymountainatv, and i'll use them for playing around at home and at the track.

 

Did you ever look at the Mudsharks?

 

Yes, I have had my eye on those too, but don't know much about them. I've been second guessing myself on getting the biggest baddest mud tire, because although I won't get stuck, I don't know how well they're going to work out for sliding around corners, jumping, and other sport riding like that. On top of that, I go through a set of axle bearings once a year as it is, with these lightweight, worn out shredders. Something with huge lugs and twice as much weight will probably make my short-lived bearings wear out even quicker.

So do you know much about the Mud Sharks? I saw them on a blaster at the local shop, and they LOOK good to me, as far as the design. I was curious about how well they will perform in mud and sport riding, and how durable they are. Thanks.

 

My buddy has 'Sharks on his 02 Rappy and they grip good in mud. Plus they actually handle decent also. As for durability, he's had them for a couple of years now and the tread is still good and they're still holding air.
