Are Goodyear Mudrunners the same as the "Mudrunner run flat" tire??? I have seen both names used but never at the same time/same add... Maybe thats why they cost so much?

Confused?

 

There both the same tread, the run flat just has the ability to be driven on when flat, making it more exspensive.

 

Best prices I've found were at http://www.treadepot.com . Great service, and you generally receive them in 3 business days. Check'em out. They're an awesome tire. I know I'm glad I bought them.

 

I payed $700 for my mudrunners here in Quebec...imagine the price of the run-flats!

 

(2) 26X9X12 and (2) 26X12X12 cost me $286.00 at treadepot.com. Plus shipping, of course. Was that $700.00 Canadian or American dollars?

 

Canadian $$

Was still too expensive...got them from the Polaris dealer. 200$ each rear and 150$ each front! You seem to have a great price.

My dealer said I was the first to put big tires on an ATV he sold. They are not the best dealer in the world when it comes to mods. When I went back this week the owner had just installed a set of 26" mudrunners on an Xplorer...said I influenced him!

 

Did you mount them on stock rims..and hows your clearence with fenders ??
Thanks!

 

That was the great advantage...I put them on stock rims. Saved some money.I was really wanting 27" Blackwater XT's but the dealer had no rims for the Xplorer. I am glad he didn't because 26 inchers are plenty for me! Upon aggressive riding the front tires rub on the fenders a bit...I added some rubber spacers in my springs to make them stay higher. In the whoops and with a passenger the rears hit a bit too...but today I stiffened the rear spring so it should not rub any more.
It's all worth it though. Steering is 10 times better and mudding is pure joy! I feel like a tank...with a formula 1 engine!!!(I just have to keep away from the jumps now...)

Keep on riding!!

 

OOPS! You were asking the other Honda rider...wern't you! No problem, if you ever get an Xplorer you will know what to expect!

Later.

 

No problems at all with clearance. I have a Highlifter lift kit that I was going to install if I needed it, but I didn't. In fact, I believe a 27" tire would probably fit with no problem. The 12" rear tires only stick out past the fenders about an inch, if that. They do tend to sling a LOT more mud than the stock tires though, so consider yourself forewarned.
