Default Goodyear Mudrunners on 650\700

The Mudrunners are really a great tire. I had a set on my P650, check my "Gallery" as I believe there is a pic of me & the P650 at Engineer Pass in Colorado. In the pic are a set of 27" Mudrunners & ITP Type 4 wheels w/a High-lifter 2" Lift kit installed, front progressive springs.
The Mudrunners are a great all-purpose tire & wear long on tire tread life.
The only downside is they are a bit heavy & if you go with a 27" Tire you will lose some overall power & the gearing will be affected a little as well. I had a set of the Mudrunners 26"ers on my Cat 650 & felt the 26 inch tire was better for me vs the 27" tire.
Presently I am using the ITP Mudlite 26" tires, weight difference between the MR's & ML's is noticeable. Plus the MR's are not 6-ply if that matters to you. With that said, I never had any Tire problems with the 4-ply Mudrunners & I had them for over 2 years of hard riding on my Prairie 650's.
The ITP tires were only available as a tire/wheel package when I ordered my ITP Black Type 4 wheels & I opt for an set of the 26x9x12 Fronts & 26x10x12 Rear Mudlites.

I run the 25" mudrunners and they are my tire of choice if you only have one set of rims. groundclearance and snow is not good but ok. I think the 26 would be better in the snow but I only run 28 589's in the winter. I also have around 15,000km on my mudrunners.

Thanks for the feedback.I was wanting a good all purpose tire and from what I have read these are.I would most likely stay with the stock size.I was even thinking of going with the run flats........anyone have those????

BFB... just to clairify... unless they changed them, in the last year or so, the 25" are 4 ply, & the 26" & bigger are 6 ply ( at least the 26"er's that I ran for a year & a half, before I sold them to a buddy that couldn't afford "new" tires & really wanted a set of Mud Runners, were 6 plys )
