Which tires are best for a 02 650, mostly riding hard pack trails?
ITP Mudlites XTR ??

ITP Mudlite ATR ??
ITP Holeshots ??

 

Swamplites!!! Take a look at mine in my pics, then look at WWW.TRAXMOTORSPORTS.COM for a better look, and description of the tire.

 

I heard the XTRs are suppose to be the better hard packed tire of all the Mud-Lites. This is just what I heard, I have no experience with those tires.

Alot of people complain about the Holeshots because they get all tore up on a utility. Not made 6ply like the Mud-Lites.

 

If I rode in no mud, I would try the swamplites or Bighorns. They both seem well liked and look good. It just depends on if you radials or not. Both of these are heavier than the Mudlites though, unless you get the XTR's.

To me, Maxxis seems to make a little better tire than the rest.

 

Actually, i have had good luck in mud with the swamplites.

 

I have it narrowed to the Mudlite's, same as Brute 23's or the Interco Swamplites. I just need to know what the Swamplites weigh. If they are much more than the Mudlites, then I will go with the Lites. Price wise, they are pretty close. Ebay has mudlites really cheap.

 

I believe the Swamplites are about 3-4 lbs heavier (12-16lbs on the quad) than the Mudlites. I actually looked at mudlites, but the dealer told me Swamplites would last longer, and were a more aggressive, all terrain tire.

 

Yes, I would bet the swamplites are better in mud than the mudlites. The mudlites do not impress me in the mud.

 

Hey Roofer, I almost also bought Gators, they would have been my next choice. They look pretty sweet on your quad!

 

The Swamp Lite is a great tire, but I find it hard to believe that the open tread design of them would would be better in the mud than the deep lugged Mud-Lites. just a theory though, no experience with the Swamp Lites.

I saw some Swamp Lites on E-bay with Maxxis wheels. Man they looked sharp.
