Sure, anything will wheelie in top gear with the right terrain.

MBrooks i just took a look at your pics and saw the lakota. I love your tires. On the back are those mudlites and if not can you tell me what they are!!! Also are you running stocks rims still or did you upgrade to new stock size rims when you got the tires!!!

The Lakota isn't mine its my buddies. Yeah they are the mudlites on the factory steels. They are great all around tires. Unstoppable when it gets gooey, or slick. Good on hardpack, and will definately throw a roost. They are wide and do rub on the battery box quite a bit. We ended up throwing a set of Highlifter wheel spacers on it to correct it. I have brainstormed more than once on a battery relocation bracket to put it behind the air box, where it belongs.

MBrooks420, did he put them on himself and was it hard, because i'm looking for some sweet mud tires that i can just buy and put them on myself!!! Also does it effect the battery box a lotl!!! Just to check they are 22-11-10 right don't want to order the wrong ones if i get them!!! Do you think that they are a good tire for trails and little track riding, the mudlites. Also i heard that the wheel spacers breaks the axle easier,that's why i did not want to go that way, but only if you hit jumps and stuff, that what i heard. I was also thinking the same thing about the battery box but was not sure if it would work. My friends and i have been thinking up a storm on my quad. We were thinking about just grinding some of the battery box cover off but i don't know if that's a good idea. Input needed if you have any for the battery box!!! Thanks

my tires cost me 152.00 with pj1 sealant and kevlar. they work good in everything i have had them in sand, snow, mud, hard pack, rocky, grass and a track and they can handle jumping to. and if you do ride sand and want to throw a roost they look like you are running a paddle if you are far away. so if you get the tires spinning they throw sand right up.

NewDuck, what do you mean about the pj1 sealant and kevlar, and if i order the stock size rim but in T-9 series dougles rims would the bolt patter line up the same as the stock rims!!!

im not sure what the kevlar part is but the sealant is like slime they put in it for 4 dollars a tire. you can get 22 11 10 in a t 9 package for about 190.00 without the pj1 and kevlar

If the tires are factory, you may as well take them to the dealer and let him change them for 10 bucks. Factory tires are almost always glued to the rim, and are difficult to remove. When we put the Mudlites on, the auto tire guy couldn't get one of the front tires to debead. I had to work on it for a few hours. Not worth the time to me. The tires are 22x11x10, and I wouldn't consider them without moving the battery box, or widening the rear end. The wheel spacers aren't likely to break the axle. I have had the Lakota 4 feet of the ground and landed on nothing but one rear tire. Overall they are a great tire, and probably can't be beat for the money. Kevlar is normally just a high strength belt, as opposed to nylon or steel.

Thanks MBrooks420 for the information, i was not planning on putting wheel spacers on my quad and i did want to move the battery in a different location if i can!!! Overall i'm waiting to see what NEWDUCKS tires look like and how much they effect the battery box, but i also like the mudlites. In the long run it will be a pick between these two tires!!!

NEWDUCK, thanks for the information, but what if i just get the tire only without the rims and take it to my local dealer. Do you think that they will do something if they see that it is hitting the battery box! Is it true that it will only be 10 dollars because if it is that's what i'll probably do!!!
