The Bear Claw seems to have a long life as far as treadwear is concerned from my experience but I am looking to go with more of a mud tire on my 450ES. I was just wondering what kind of life people have been getting out of mud tires like Gators or Mud Bugs as that will determine what I buy. If both are too low, then I will beforced to run Bear Claws again sacrificing good mudding experiences!!!

Hi , I have a set of mudbugs on the rear of magnum500 ....they are perfect
for mudding and they ride pretty smooth too.

I also have a set of Mudzilla's on the front of it ...there a little rough riding but they pull me threw the mud like you would'nt beleive

If you want to see a pic let me know i will email you one

I have a set of Gators on my 400 Sportsman and they hold up great been on for over a year ond are still like new.All tires will last if you keep them off of the blacktop.Oh yea the Gators are great in everything but sand.Thats another long story.
