I was looking into getting some new tires on my stock bf 750 rims and was looking at geting 26x10x12 on the front and 26x12x12 mudlites on the rear or even thought about getting 27in same width mudlites My prob is that i do not want to loose to much top end i will have it snokeled and also a vdi would i loose to much speed going with the 27in I still want to remain in the 70mph range any help would be great

And if anyone has any diff tires they would recommend for mainly hard packed and trail rideing but i do like to get in the mud also so I am open to suggstions

 

mudlites are a relly lite tire and the brute probely wont tell the differnece between 26s or 27s !!

 

i had 27 in on my stock 05 grizzly an ddidn't notice a difference. the bike didnt seem to lose any top end the speedo would read around 67, not sure how accurate though.

 

Look at my pics, those are swamplites on steel chromed rims. They are the #1 rated all terrain tire right now. If you want strictly mud, Gators or Mudlites, or Mudzillas...ect are what you want. But these tires are great in Mud, Snow, rough terrain, and hardpack.

 

i thought the mudlites were a great trail tire, never any problem. they were terrible snow tires though

 

I put Kenda Bear Claws on my P650, I got tired of all the flats with the 4x tire. Awesome traction, great on dirt roads, no flats over a year of hard riding. I just bought what the local shop had and they have turned out to be great tires- Far, far better than stock rubber.

There are probably better, but my point is, that most of these tires are probably good enough that you would be happy

 

I have 26x12xr12 Bighorn Maxxis on the rear of my Brute 750 (2006). The right rear tire occasionally rubs the side of the gas tank ... not good. I need a solution ... spacers or rims or .... These tires ride great on hard pack, ok in mud but not like mud-lites which I had on a 650.

 

bear hug i may have 2 rear spacers to sell you i bought 4 not sure if i am gonna run them on the front yet. gonna see how it goes tomorrow when i put them on. if your interested let me know. not positive as of yet though
