Default mudlites?

im thinking about getting a set of these in the future and have a couple of questions. 1) will they fit the stock rims? 2) how much are they w/o rims 3)i want something with a little more bite then the stock tires, but not enough bite to rut up the lawn, will these tires work? thanks in advance for your responses

1. They will fit stock rims
2. They are in the neighborhood of $60-65 a piece, give or take a few bucks
3. They will tear up the backyard, especially if you corner hard or the ground is wet.

I have the 27's and they are a really nice tire.

As long as you leave it in neutral, your lawn will be fine.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I noticed in your sig that you have the progressive springs so I think they will be fine for you. The only thing I noticed was that when I went into a corner a little hard it seemed a slight bit tippier. I am attributing this to the fact that I still have the soft front stock suspension. Before when cornering with the Dunlops they would roll under a little and the suspension would dive a little, now that there is a six ply tire on there and it wont roll under, the front of the bike dives a little more. Its not bad, I just had to get used to the way it felt. I am guessing with new springs out front I wouldnt have this anymore.

I put 26`s on my P650 stock wheels. The fit was fine and they look great they were $289 to my door.

I have the 27's & think they are a great tire. Only regret is that I wish I would have gone with the 26's to keep it a little more on the sporty side.

Are the 26" mudlites taller than stock Dunlops?

thanks, how much difference would there be if i stuck with 25" instead of 26" (trying to save all the money i can!) the biggest i will go is 26" will i need stiffer front springs if i go much bigger? and should i stick with the same width as stock? (8-12 front, 10-12 rear)

The biggest differance between the 25's & 26's is the lug size. I believe the lugs are shorter on the 25's vs the 26's & 27's. The 26's & 27's are only available in one size- 10" up front & 12" for the rear.
