I can't seem to find a sales add that contains the Goodyear Mud Runners. Does anyone Know where they can be purchased from?
I'm on the waiting list at Rocky mountain ATV for some 25" Titan 589's, But they won't even reach Rocky mnt until around april 1st- who knows when they'll get to my house.
If I go with Mud Runners I can get 26" instead of the 25's.

Have you tried a Goodyear dealership? Even though their main business is automotive tires, they should be able to order the Mudrunners. Might be worth a try.

That's where I ordered mine from on 2-29-00, they said they should arrive this Thursday or Friday, too bad I'm working till Monday.
What did you put them on and how do you like them?
Did you use stock wheels? and how do they fit your machine(Clearance)? If I have to space my front end it won't be by much. Prarie 400
Are the fronts truely 9" wide?

I put em on my '99 Sportsman 500, but only got to ride arond the yard. Made the machine steer much easier, and I love the look.
Yes, I used my stock wheels.
I've got 2" of lift in the front, I don't see any problems with clearance.
Not sure about the true width, again didn't get to spend much time with it last night. Plan to give em a good tryin' out tonight so I'll let you know more tomorrow.

How would you compare them to the swamper TSL's? do you think you would have any advantage?

I can't compare them to anything but the stock tires, because that's all I've had on the 4-whlr. However, I do ride with a guy that has a set of swamper TSL's, I guess we can compare them the next time we ride. I'll let you know what we find out.

OK I'm satisfied! More than satisfied, I only wish I would have bought these tires a long time ago. I still can't believe how easy my machine steers now. And the traction is awesome.

I just recieved my tires from Treadepot, all two of them!!! one front,one back. They look great. But what am I supposed to do with only two? ride around in circles?
Hopefully the other two will show up Monday.
Good thing I'm working this weekend or I'd be ticked!!!
