Default Mud Tires?

Mudlites, Mudbugs, or Mudrunners.
Which tire is the best overall tire for quality of ride (trails) and for "deep mudding"?
Thanks!

trails comfort and deep mudding....thats 2 whole different creatures there....you'll have to make some sacrafice in one direction or the other really....but the mudlite is have decent trail manners but is soft and wears down quick, but it will also handle some pretty nasty goo...but then again if you do more mudding then trails go with the mudbugs....
in atv rider they said the goodyear mudrunners handled the best out of goo and performed well in it..

We sell a ton of ITP Mudlites. The 4x4 guys around here are worse than snomobile riders. They stick together like the beans in a burrito.

I love my mudlites. They are the cheapest 6ply around here by far and they work great. I have many kilometers on mine and they have not worn down much at all

I've owned all three and I can tell you from experience that the mudrunners although a little more pricy will last alot longer and ride just as smooth as the others. as far as mudding goes they handle alot of it quite well but don't expect to hang with the more extreme mud tires. great tire however.

I cant speak for the other two tires mentioned bc I have not tried them yet but as for mudlites. They are far better than stock as far as feel and control of the quad. They are heavy compared to stock but still lighter than others. They grab well on corners which is good for handling bad for playing. They are good in sand, mud, and dirt . So good all around but probably not the best at any. Heard they were good in snow as well. They ride smooth on pavement over 5mph. but traction is worse than stock on pavement (more spin less wheelies) Due to less rubber area on ground. Would I buy them again? Yes as long as the wear isnt to excessive.
