The stock tires arn't the best for the mud but take it and have fun!! My wife takes ours through all of the mud she can find and it does pretty good but colorado mud isn't like what you find in the east... I'd go in low range if its real thick and sticky but if its thin high range might work better.

I'm gonna disagree with Mike on this one (course maybe thats why I get stuck) But i always try to blast thru mud in high range to try and keep moving as fast as possible--our 360's sink quick because of the weight

As long there is no ruts to high center you, the 360 is a very capable mudder. If you are planning to ride a lot of mud I would buy some new tires.

OlemanMoses is right you want to keep moving as fast as possible thus if its a real slow hole (thick and sticky mud) low range may work better than high but if its a fast hole high range may work better. Its important to keep moving so you don't sink and keep the tires spinning (not to fast they don't grab) so the don't pack up with mud. Every mud hole will require a sligtly different tactic.

Took our 360 mudding at Lynville. It never once got stuck but didn't go thru too bad of stuff. Just keep moving and it will do good. Can't go against the sp 500 HO though!!!. 05 360 is a fun quad to ride!!!! Dobie
