589 m/s or Mud Bugs...both 6 ply, smooth on hard ground and good tread life.

r u serious? the mudlites arent that aggressive
There as agressive as you want.

Mudlites AT 3/4" lugs = General trail riding.

Mudlites XL 1-1/8" lugs = 70% mud 30% trail

Mudlite XXL 1-5/16" lugs = 90% mud and vibrate your teeth out on hard pack trails.

Mudlite AT


Mudlite XXL

Mudlites are good tires. But comparing them to outlaws or silverbacks it like comparing apples to oranges. Outlaws and silverbacks are way more agressive and alot better in the mud. But what the have in mud riding they lack in trail riding. they ride rough.

From everything I have read people have been very happy going with skinny Outlaws on all fours. I guess they are awesome in the mud and still ride pretty smooth on the trails.

If you plan to do any trail riding why would you consider Silverbacks? The mudzillas have never seamed to have the right tread angle to work for me but I have never personally seen them in action. Outlaws look to have a similar design to the mudbugs I run on my 250 Suzuki. I'm happy with the performance of my mudbugs as they are no to aggressive for the trails and are not to heavy for my little engine. However I would trade them in a heartbeat for a pair of ITP 589s. I have never seen an all around tire perform as well as the 589s. Awsome forward traction in mud definatly better than mudbugs.
