mud lites leaking
 

I was about to buy some itp mudlites for my 86 honda fourtracks and the dealer tried to steer me away from them saying they had many issues of them leaking air from the bead. instead hew was trying to sell me some bear claws
Is there any one our there that can confirm this .

Also anyone break there axles on an older honda using these higher gripped tires

Been running mudlite xls on my grizzly for 10,000 miles with no leaking around the beads.

Probably not installed right. Also consider not using cheap cast aluminum wheels, some of the cheap wheels have porosity in the castings that allow air leaks. Steel wheels rarely leak if in good condition, unless mounted incorrectly.

One of my friends bought a set of Mud Lites on aftermarket steel wheels and one leaked. Where the two halves on the wheel were welded together there was a small hole. After he got that wheel replaced everything was good, but his tire and wheel combination was too wide for some of the tight trails we rode. He took them off and put them in storage to use if we ever went to play in the mud someplace, but we never did. Even when his Mud Lites just sat there for ages they didn't leak, so I don't think there's anything wrong with them. Your dealer just wanted to sell you something else. I'd find a different dealer. One who's ready sell me what I want to buy, and not what they want me to buy.

I had mudlite ats on my Brute Force, no issues with the tires losing air in the 2 years I owned it. I'm guessing he was trying to sell you a different type of tire because it was a higher profit sale for him.

Dittos to the above. Leak wise the Mudlites aren't any better or any worse than other ATV tires. I had Mudlite XTR's that I liked a lot and never had any leakage issues with them.

Thanks every one ,I did buy the itp mudlites , they seem to be holding air.

I did take my quad ice fishing ,got stuck 4 times with them , front tires kept throwing snow up in front of the hear tires which made the rear tires dig more un till they hit the ice ,then i got hung up under the quad and i just stood there spinning . The old tires worked better with the chains......guess i will see how they work come next fall when i go moose hunting .
