hey girly boy why dont you invite us?????????

 

Don't worry west35 If Ford new about this guy they would probably take his away from him.

 

I hope so!

 

Was the older Mud Lite only 2ply? I'm looking at the XTR but they are $250 more so if the old Mud lite were 6ply before I could assume they will still puncture easy.

 

I just got a set of 26" Mudlites. I currently have the Wetlands made by ITP for Ducks Unlimited. They are extremly tough, have ran all over all types of junk with no punctures. My friend has a Ranger with 26" Mudlites and had one flat at Coal Creek last year when we were there, he ran over a old coal mine cable with very razor sharp edges jutting up from the ground. Other than that I have not heard of anyone personally that have had problems with the Mudlites.

 

As I've said before..if this were only me with Mudlite problems I'd chalk it up to my riding areas, however on other ATV boards I've heard of several people with puncture problems with Mudlites and I have slices and punctures. Just trying to warn others.

im thinking of my first choice will be the gbc dirtdevils and my second will be the swamlites. Tim

 

I just put some Bearclaws on my 03 Rancher. They have a lot more grip than the OEM tires (can't power slide on grass anymore) and are very smooth on pavement. They also took the lean or roll over feeling of the stock tires on quick turns. So far I'm very happy with the tires. Based on the reading I've done, they wear extremely well, in line with the Dirt Devils.

They are sized a little small, in that 24" OEM tires are 24.2" where the Bearclaw 24" are 23.2" tall. If you go with a Bearclaw, you might want to step up a size to ensure you have the same size tires as stock. Check out Kenda's website for the exact sizes and compare with your stock tires if you go the Bearclaw route.

 

Just got some pics up of the new wheels and tires. Spent about an hour at the firehouse cleaning up the Kodiak, and just had to take some pics before going riding Saturday.
