For more mud and water, I would highly suggest the Mud Bugs over the Lites. I'm pretty sure 27" would fit with a lift.

im going with the 26"mud lites on my rubicon.
my best bud has 27" mud lites on his honda and theres not much room to play with, and he lost some power also.
i had the gators on my arctic cat and thay worked awsome but thay were very heavy.
the 26" mud lites or mud bugs are a great choice eather way you'll be happy.
the mud lites have a deeper tread then the mud bugs but thay both are a good tire.
ps. check out my picks and see what the mud lites look like on my buds rubicon.
his also has an inch and a half lift kit in it.

I have a 2" Lift with 26x10x12 in front and 27x12x12 rear on my rancher. Of course I hade to get foreman rims to fit the tire. But they work great with no rub whats so ever.
Oh and they are MAXXIS MUD BUGS

I have 27" mud bugs on my Foreman 450s and love em. I have a highlifter lift kit and there is plenty of fender clearance. A friend also has 27" mud bugs on his Foreman 450s and he doesn't have a lift kit and he has never had a problem with the tires rubbing.

I don't know much about mud lites, but I have a set of mud bugs. They are great! When I was on a atv rally I hit a rock and broke the bead, and had to ride out with a flat. After hitting rocks and going through deep mud I thought it would be damaged! Not so! Filled it with air, and away I was off again! Happy trails!

I just put on a set of 27" mud lites on my 99 grizz. I dont have a lift kit on it and have no probs with it rubbing. These seem like a great all around tire so far. I went with the mud lites because I ride trails and mud and wanted a lighter tire. These tires are still alot heavier then stock and I do notice a power loss. I was going to get the Itp 589s but heard these mudder tires ride rough. But if all you do is mud ridding and not much trail riding go with the mudders. If you do some trail riding Id go with the mud lites.

I just got the 25" mudlites on my 400AT. They are pretty nice.


Very smooth ride for the trails.
Agressive for the mud, and they look mean.
