I own a 03 Prairie 650. Tommorow my new V-Force will be delivered and I can't wait. I ride mostly in shallow rivers. In the current issue of DIRTWHEELS(June) on page 40 there is a picture of a V-Force with what appears to be ITP Mud-Lites mounted on it. Would this significantly increase it's ability to navigate through mud? What size are those tires featured in the magazine? Has anyone tried this? What does it do to the handling/riding/performance characteristics of the wheeler?

 

any type of tire with bigger lugs will work alot better then the stock XCT holeshots... i'm very dissapointed with the XCT's and their like $90 a tire.. i have dirt devils on my bayou 300 and it went through about 8-10 inches of mud alot easier then my vforce did.. and i didn't even have to lock the differential on the bayou. so tires do make a ton of difference...

i haven't seen the article your talking about though yet.. i'll look for it at the newsstand.

 

Thanks for the feedback.
