mud bugs or gators.
the bugs are softer and less money and are as good or better then the gators.
bugs ride smoother also.
i have mud zillas on my 700p and i love them and they ride smother then the mud lites i have on my honda and my old arctic cats gators.
but the zillas cost a fortune.
and if i was going to get the zillas i wouldent go and bigger then 26s or 27s max.
my kawi came with the 28s but if i was to buy them i would get the 26" zillas.
then you dont loose any power like you do with 28s.
any of the 3 you will be very happy with.
good luck.
and by the way welcome to the forum.

 

thanks for the info i kinda heard good things about the bugs and thanks also for the welcome

 

26-10-12 gbc dirt devils or kenda bear claws and gators are all great choices

 

my stock tires r 25/10/12 so i shld bump up to 26 and how do they handle on asphalt cause i need to drive on some for some of tne accesss rd for the trails i go on

 

there a little rough till you get going then it smooths out.
and they handle very well on pavement.

 

I just put four new Swamp Fox tires and C-series-5 ITP rims on mine. I was going to put the mud-bugs on but my dealer said they were on back order and looked to be for some time. They are six-ply just like the bugs and have a very similer tred pattern. I stayed with the stock size.

My first ride results were this: I can still slide the rear end around, the stearing and handling is vertually the same, my ability to go through our river bottems/river with sand, mud, water is amazing. In the exact same place I got stuck last weekend I can now stop in and backup out of, where as with the stock tires it was a hit-it and get-it situation or I was buried. The same in the sandy/silty parts of the river I was stuck in last week I can now cross with ease.

I think the swamp foxes are slightly wider (especially the front) then the stock ones but they still don't stick out past the fenders. They also seem to be very round across the top like the stockers which helps in the self cleaning, the bugs seem to be a little flatter across the tred pattern.

One more thing, they are a little cheaper then Mud-Bugs; but I think in price only.

 

thanks big wave something to look into ill start to check them out
