Just letting all you mud freaks know that 12" zillas on the rear easily miss the muffler and about 1" on the tank side on stock rims. happy trails

 

Which widths did you get?

I have 8" fronts and 10" rears. They are actually very wide, more like 9.5 in front and 12 in back.

I learned the hard way last week about tire width. Tire width makes ALL the difference in the world in mud and snow. My narrow front mudrunners did not give me enough floatation on the snow and my front end kept digging down and leaving me stuck in the snow. The snow was very deep and heavy. Mudzillas aren't good for snow either, the lugs are too big and they dig too much.

I just seem to never have the "right" tires for the right occasion. Mudrunners are a dang good tire, but the fronts are narrow. Mudlights are probably wider in front.

 

nyroc, I have 10" front and 12" rear

 

I have felt that I have made serious mistakes by buying narrow tires. I have the 8" wide mudzillas in front and the 9" wide mudrunners in front (for snow) and the narrow tires just dig down.

Very bad! Bad Nyroc!

I put my 26x12-12 surtraks on the front of my brother's P400 and they are working great. They are 9.75 wide and are giving him the ideal area in front. Great flotation in snow.

Fat tires are not fun in the dirt though. I still need skinny ones for the summer.

 

I can't say if having the bigger combo will be much better in the snow. We only have 6-10" and like you said, they dig right down to the ground at the touch of the gas. Have you any new news on the little black box.

 

No news. I hope it comes out soon.
