i love my mudlites. they haven't let me down yet. great on hardpack and awesome in the mud. great all around tire and very reasonably priced. check out my pics for a peek at what they look like on the prairie with c-series rims.

 

What jwkawi said.

I love my Mudlites. Very nice tire. I've gone into some nice mud holes and plenty of deep snow, and they haven't let me down once. When I went to the ATV Jamboree, I received a lot of compliments on the tires. A lot of people said that they would be buying a set of Mudlites once the current tires wore out.

 

Kawidan: Your pictures are really good. i was just wondering. what size tires do you have up front and what size do u have on the back? i see that you got them on stock rims and i was just wondering. Also. do they rub any or anything of that nature? Thanks for the Info.

Up front I have 26x10x12 and the rear are 26x12x12. No rubbing at all. Plenty of clearance everywhere.

If you look in this picture, you can see at least an inch of clearance between the gas tank and the tire. Plenty of room


Rear view

I was thinking of going with 27", but a couple people told me that you lost a bit of sportyness and handling with that size, so I went with 26" and I'm really happy.

 

Another thing,

I have close to 1500km's on the tires, and they are hardly showing any sign of wear. Now keep in mind that probably half of those KM's where done on snow and ice. But we've done our fair share of ridding on pave. So I'm quite impress with the wear.

Also I've only lost about 3km/h on the top end with these tires. My buddy Chris has a bone stock 650. He gets 105km/h top speed and I get 102km/h. Now keep in mind that I have a winch, rear seat, front and rear bumper and fender protectors also on my bike. So this may be why I lost a bit of top speed. I'd like to see the difference on weight from the stock wheels. I bet it's not very much.

 

Kawidan:


Thanks for all the great information. you said you got 26's and still got room. Do you think possibly 27x10x12 (front) GATORS and 27x12x12 (Rear) GATORS, would fit with no problem. i was just wondering. if you dont know thats fine but if you may know would you please let me know. Thanks alot the the info.

 

I have 4 brand new 28 inch itp 589's on itp steel rims with bolt pattern 4/137 for sale if anyone is interested.

 

Personally, I like the 589's the best. they seem to work very well in the mud and work just as good on hardpack or the street. (when needed) I currently have Outlaws on my P-700 and it does very well in the mud. The only problem is that when you get out of the mud, the tires are very scary. I cant go over 52 mph because it feels like i'm riding on ice, Like the quad is going to get out from under me at any moment. I have a set of 26 inch 5899's that I'm going to put on soon.
JWKawi, How much of a loss is there when you put on the 26 inch mudlites(compared to the stock tires)? BTW, I think your brother needs a kawi. tell him he needs to ditch the Polaris. I did. What a diference!
Do they fit on the stock rims ok? without any rubbing?
Thanks,
Later
